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?

BLOAT!

[King Prout]

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.

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.

Voters become complacent about security issues.

"Becoming"? I already see too many that are. They expect the Great Nanny Government to raise their income while not complaining that half their income goes to various taxes, give them cheaper or free healthcare thinking the grass is greener in Canada, and provide jobs they don't have to work hard at keeping or help prosper. The publik skool system and liberal media has done a fine job in leading these folks to not comprehend that the government's basic job is to protect our sovereignty and freedoms, not hand out scraps of food on silver platters from the socialists' tables.

Assautlt Weapons Ban is a pivotal issue.

It is very important to many of us. (some of use are not gun collectors, do not hunt, do not go to the range ever but still understand the issues fundamentals)

If Terressa Heinz (hyphen "Kerry" for election purposes) makes this he signature issue then Kerry might as well say he is a homosexual. Besides Hein-kerry is a envirowacko. He issues are already the earth. (remember these two property taking enviro wackos met in a brazilian earth summit.)

"God, Guns and Gays"-Howard Dean. Dr. Yeeeeaaaah knew something.

1) There is another big terrorist attack, the Soccer Moms get scared, and come home to the Republicans. Voter sentiment favors the Second Amendment, self-defense, and self-preservation. Bush supports sunsetting, Kerry supports extension, big win for Bush.

2) No further terrorist attacks. Further drip, drip, drip of causualties in Iraq and Afghanistan. Voters become complacent about security issues. Possible Columbine-esque school shooting further energizes the anti-defense, anti-security, anti-gun lobby. Teresa Heinz adopts the Assault Weapons Ban as her signature issue; Soccer Moms flock to her. Dubyah and Laura get nervous, betray the NASCAR Dads, and sign on for an Assault Weapons Ban extension. NASCAR Dads are demoralized, stay home. Soccer Moms elect John Kerry.

Option 3) Kerry is mortally wounded by many repeated document drops, all emenating from the Clark/Hillary Clinton quarter. The Democrat Convention is brokered, and Hillary takes the nomination. She easily wins the election because Bush has disaffected his base, and she selects Edwards as a Veep candidate, who can bring home at least 4 southern states.
