Way to go Angel. Keepandbeararms.com is a great site. I recommend it to everyone. We must keep their feet to the fire on this one. If we can stop the renewal of the Ugly Weapon Ban, we will have, for the first time in 70 years, have rolled back some of the unconstitutional infringments that have been enacted over that period. The anti-freedom people will be livid. They have always felt that they woud win with incrementalism, if only they never, ever, ever allow a move toward greater freedom. We have made progress in the States, but this would be a great first at the Federal level, and would indicate a turning of the tide, in my opinion.
We have several things in our favor:
The War on Terror
The Constitution
The Facts
Election coming soon
Republican House
Republican Senate
And, Most Importantly,
An increasingly free New Media to compete with the OldDominantLiberalMedia
You can count President Bush as an advantage if you like, because I don't believe the administration will actively push for the bill, and will actually push to have it killed in the Congress so he does not have to deal with it.
And if we lose the presidency, and the Rats get in charge, we'll see unconstitutional infringments rammed up our fundament. This is not the guy who renounced his NRA membership. We are more than holding our own- let's get another four years...and judgeships, and a strong majority in both houses...and then let's put the boot in where it will really hurt- elimination of the full auto tax, national CCW, etc..
I think we can and will win the next round- but let's make that win an "In your face" smackdown that give us the freedom to (through friendly supreme court rulings) not merely fight a delaying action, but cut off the head, burn the body, and feed the remnants to scrofulous pariah dogs.
