"The hour has come for President Bush and Congress to once and for all rid America's streets of these weapons of war." Metzenbaum is absolutely correct. The time has come to make our streets safe for the Republic.

We must outlaw those who would make war on the Republic. The time has come to gird our loins, strengthen our resolve to do what must be done - Outlaw The Democratic Party!

It ain't gonna happen. Bush needs the red zone states and polls say he's not gonna get the anti gun states anyway.

Well, well. Doesn't she work for the VPC? Consumer Federation of America, indeed.

Howard Metzenbaum,

Metzenjerk wanted a total ban.

[bluelowrider57]

Uh no. Guns are only a threat if threats use them.

[Monty22]

If Bush lets this small loudmouth minority ban more guns.. I will really consider staying home voting day.

[Clinging Bitterly]

Metzenbaum a leading consumer advocate?

Whatever.

There has been a promise made by the GOP leaders of the House. It will be kept if any Republican ever wants my vote again. Sad to have to say that, but there's a huge constitutional issue here and the PARTY needs to lead on this and defend this and all of our rights or I'm done with the lot of them. To those who'd suggest I'd be throwing my vote away on third party candidates, there is either a dime's worth of difference or there is not, and if I vote for Republicans and they don't do Republican things in office, I already threw my vote away.

From the article: "Unless Congress and President Bush work together to enact new legislation, UZIs, AK 47s, and a list of other bargain basement military-style killing machines will flood America's streets again," said retired Senator and Consumer Federation of America (CFA) Chairman Howard Metzenbaum. "The existing law is so weak that scores of slightly modified versions of assault weapons banned ten years ago are legally and freely available."

Liberals have such weak minds that they don't even notice when they contradict themselves within the same short paragraph.

So, which is it? The law is so weak that "assault weapons" are "legally and freely available"?

Or, if the law is not renewed then "bargain basement military-style killing machines will flood America's streets again"?

Democrats are unable to decide whether the present law is a "success" because there never was a problem.

"The existing law is so weak that scores of slightly modified versions of assault weapons banned ten years ago are legally and freely available."

Refresh my memory: How many times over the last 100 years have "assult weapons" been used in the commission of violent crimes in the United States? Now, how many times have baseball bats been used in a similar role? Anyone want to bet which tool is more commonly used for mayhem?

[AD from SpringBay]

If President Bush renews the "Assault Weapons Ban" I will not vote for him in the next election. I can barely stomach the expanded programs that have been put in place under his watch as it is. This, I will consider to be the last straw.

[from occupied ga]

What a pack of lies!

Since when has Howard Metzenbaum been a "Consumer Advocate" Metzenbaum was the leading Senate anti-gun Nazi for decades until he retired and upChuckie Schemer (D, of course, NY, of course) took over that role

And our good friend Naomi Seligman (who used to be Naomi Piss - main mouthpiece for Sara Brady) been a consumer advocate? Seligman is a gun hating, freedom hating, jackboot worshiping neo-Nazi just like Brady.

This is just one more lie on top of the millions already told by the anti-gunners. They don't rely on truth to try and force their religion down our throats because the truth has nothing to do with what they believe - "consumer federation" my a$$

OK... Y'all have to admit that she's got a point. Her son would be alive today if only we had a law against felons stealing firearms.

Its time for the Second Amendment people to hold Bush's feet to the fire too.

He said he supported EXISTING gun laws. This law EXPIRES on Sept. 13th and is no longer existing. ERGO, he should NOT support.

When you write Bush, make sure you cc his later ego, that idiot Carl Rove, who apparently feels a gun in your hand is less dangerous than several million illegal aliens sneaking across the Mexican border.

Both Lautenberg and McCarthy are lunatics on the gun issue.

Lautenberg is on record as opposing the Second Amendment and supporting total disarmament of the public. McCarthy is a one-issue airhead who sneaked into office and I doubt if she ever even read the Constitution.

said retired Senator and Consumer Federation of America (CFA) Chairman Howard Metzenbaum

Does this have any affiliation with Consumer Reports?

[Abe Froman]

"The American people will not take kindly to a Congress and President who buckle under to the extreme demands of the gun lobby by letting the law expire or simply reenacting the existing weak ban," said Metzenbaum.

Mr. Metzenbaum, this is why you are not the president's Chief of Staff. If so, Bush would be lucky to make it through his FIRST term, let alone get reelected for a second.

[Blue Collar Christian]

I'm really disappointed to not see "wholesale slaughter", "choice of criminals", "streets running with blood" etc.

Will I ever be happy?
