Mossberg bump.

Possible Columbine-esque school shooting further energizes the anti-defense, anti-security, anti-gun lobby. Something like this always happens before a gun bill vote. Coincidence?

some of us here have been predicting another columbine in the weeks leading up to the sunset.
I don't think we have gone so far as to establish a betting pool... yet.

Bush signs this, he's done.
That simple.

"Coincidence?"
No, the number of conjoined incidents make coincidence a statistical improbability.
The question must then become one of causation.
1. Are these events and instigated by those standing to profit politically from them?
2. Is the fact of an impending RKBA vote (and the media hoopla surrounding it) enough to trigger these events by activating loonies with a desire for fame and notoriety?
I cannot even pretend to answer this. Insufficient data.

Bush signs this, he's done. That's my gut feeling, as well.
But never underestimate the proclivity for a Bush to cut and run when the going gets tough. I can see a scenario where, as above, Teresa Heinz adopts the AWB as her signature issue, Laura Bush gets jealous, and together with Karl Rove she convinces Dubyah that he has to sign on for some sort of extension.

Soccer Moms - Kerry, NASCAR Dads - Bush Are the Soccer Moms and the NASCAR Dads married to each other? If so, they cancel each other out, leaving the deciding votes to Beretta Boys, Mossberg Men, and Glock Girls.

It's always a good time to stock up on more durable goods and non-reusable items.

Buy Lots Of Ammunition TODAY! You know, it's ironic - a gun [or a rifle] is little more than a metal pipe with some machining. Not structurally any different than what a plumber carries with him in the back of his van.
The really dangerous stuff is the ammunition - the liberals have seen to it that you can't purchase a harmless metal pipe without an all-orifices full body search, and yet the really dangerous stuff - the ammunition for the harmless metal pipe - can be purchased over the internet by anyone with a credit card.
Idiots.
To: tet68
Thanks. Does anyone now where I might find TOW reloads?
All kidding (am I?) aside. This is going to be a very weighty factor in my decision come November. President Bush still has my vote even after Medicare, Immigration, McCain-Feingold, 500 Billion deficit etc. I'm finding it insreasingly hard to be adding the support of my voice or treasury however. And if Mr. Bush caves to Schumer and the rest of the gungrabber crowd I will gurantee my vote will go elsewhere also.
RNC flamers save it, cause I can and do think for myself.

no.
"the really dangerous stuff" is the will of the operator.
Guns do not kill. Bullets do not kill. People kill.

The Left may have a new tactic. Instead of some mass shooting just before the ban is to sunset, how about calling some soldier a traitor? Especially if he has had several letters to the Editor published in which he supported the right to keep and bear arms?
That way the Left gets a high profile story about "one of our own" aiding the enemy, but they also have a cut-and-dried link to gunowners.
Nah, it's too far-fetched. They could never find a story like that.

"the really dangerous stuff" is the will of the operator True. But banning the metal pipe called "a gun" yet allowing the free sale of ammunition is akin to banning the wooden pipe called "a bong" yet allowing the free sale of tobacco, marijuana, hash-hish, and opium.
The metal pipe is just that - a pipe. In and of itself it doesn't pose a threat to anybody. I suppose you could use it to conk someone over the head, but a baseball bat would be at least as good for that purpose.
Hey - let's ban baseball bats!
