In addition, this bill would allow the AG to ban guns if he decides to call it a so called assault weapon.

I have a feeling that these guys really want to lose big in the next election.

Bawb is so clueless he actually thinks this will HELP him get elected.

He has no idea what happened in 1994. He thinks it was just random error on the part of voters.

Maybe, just maybe, this will allow Bush to veto the crappy legislation w/o breaking a campaign promise, or cause the HoR to shoot it down. Bush cravenly promised to renew the current one, not enact a harsher one.

It appears that the RATS are trying to appeal to their voter base. The only problem is that their base is either dead, incarcerated, or has wised up.

But in a willful attempt to violate the spirit of the law

So, now one must abide by the SPIRIT of the law? Gun haters say "you can't have a gun with this, that or the other thing".Fine, these don't, they're now LEGAL.

Could it be you're just afraid of them? Or, maybe it's just BAD law to begin with, hmm?

"....prevent the gun industry....."

Does that include the basement & garage "industries", as well? Just curious.......

Yes, yes......it would be "illegal", but does it "prevent"........anything? Therein lies the rub.

Hopefully Tom DeLay and friends will bottle this bill up in the House so that it never sees the light of day.

If these guys haven't realized the the AW ban of '94 was the beginning of the end for the Democrats they are out of the loop and going........going.....gone.

This move is interesting in that Kerry, Kuchinich, and Gephardt are clearly sacrificing their electability in '04 on the altar of short-term left-driven primary advantage.

It's always been known that Democrats run to the Left in primaries and then back to the Center in the general election, but this sort of anti-gun-rights move would be quite an avil to haul around in the general election next year.

It makes pro-gun Dean's chances look far better than their own, in contrast. That's quite a risk to take for Kerry and Gephardt.

Sheesh, next someone's going to tell me that Dean's potential VP candidate pick is going to Afghanistan for a photo op with our troops over the Thanksgiving holidays...

Can anyone help do the research with me and find out if he Cosponsored Michael Dukakis's Gun Confiscation Bill when he was Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts?

I'm still trying to find out who were the cosponsors.
