Imagine that Arnold wins. He then signs the new, improved Kalifornia "assault weapons" ban which adds the Springfield Armory M1A and the Ruger Mini-14 to the list of proscribed firearms.
Please tell me why he would not do this.
Please tell me how it would ever be possible for me to vote for Arnold. Any gunowner who does so is supporting his own disarmament.
He might, but he very well might not. At least he would listen to the arguments against before deciding.
Cruz Bustamental would not only sign it in a heartbeat, he would actively campaign to get it passed.
What McClintock would do is academic since he has no chance of being elected.
