RE :” Whats AWB? assault weapon ban of 94’.....on the campaign trail before the 2000 election, jr said he would sign it if CONgress got it to his desk, and if it hadnt been for algore, jr wouldve lost my vote on that statement alone”

That's helpful. I couldnt see it.

This is rather unbelievable esp since Democrats regularly cite that AWB ban vote as the main reason they lost the congress that year.
Certainly it was a significant factor.

in fairness to jr, IIRC the *question* about it expiring during the 2000-04 PotUS was being used as a *gotcha* by the msm to discourage 2A guys like myself [which it did except for the opponent being algore], and he avoided it for awhile...

but just like the next 8 yrs, he capitulated and gave em the answer, and allowed em to paint him into a corner w/o fighting back...

he couldve/shouldve done alot for *US*, but didnt, considering he was going to be villified by the progcomms regardless...
