First, I said "nearly 100%".
Secondly, I wasn't talking about "gun owners" in general, rather those that post on the gun forums that I visit. And yes, I'll stick to my contention that almost 100% of them voted for Bush in 2000.
Beyond that, I'm not really sure what your point is.
If it's to nitpick, I guess I should have done a better job clarifying my initial statement.
If it's to suggest that the AWB ban really doesn't matter when it comes to the elections this year, I would simply state that you're wrong.
If it's to contend that the people posting on these gun forums are leftists, I would suggest reading the posts at ar15.com and thehighroad.org.
If your point is to infer that the people posting there are really undercover DU operatives funded by Al Queda, with the intent of derailing the Bush re-election campaign by causing dissent in the ranks, I would simply laugh my tail off.
But back to the issue at hand:
Based on the stuff I've read, Bush got somewhere around 60% or less of the gunowner vote.
Most gunowners don't vote simply on the gun issue.
But for those that do, they made a big difference in West Virginia and Tennessee and Florida in 2000.
And be assured that if the AWB is renewed in any shape, form, or fashion, the single-issue Freedom/gun voters will withold support from anyone involved in passing new gun control legislation.
And yes, there are enough of us to make a difference at the ballot box. There have been countless congressmen, state reps, and even governors who have been defeated just because they went against the 2nd amendment.
