Those who would like 'hard core' RKBA advocates to simply shut up and punch the right button in the voting booth regardless of Constitutional insult, would do well to examine their own principles.

Bush needs to take this to heart. Gore lost West Virginia because someone started passing around a petition asking Byrd and Rockefeller to stop the feds from requiring firearms ownership to be listed on the 1040. That statement probably dropped your jaw and I wouldn't have believed it either if I hadn't seen the petitions in convenience stores all over West Virginia.

West Virginia is hurting jobwise and Bush shouldn't forget this is a union and a Democrat state. He can kiss West Virginia off if he signs that renewal. I'll still vote for him but he won't carry this state. I'll take bets on it. The West Virginias and Tennessees add up. So unless it looks like he's going to be reelected in a landside, his handlers better listen up and get the Republicans in the House to bury that bill. Otherwise, I think the man is f**ked.

I think the order of battle is to try to slow the tide of weapon bans and reverse it ultimately. It cannot be done by issuing virtualy illicit three way vote duels - where it becomes 2 against one, nor can it be done by protesting and letting Dems win, hastening the tide itself.

Nevertheless Bush and Ashkroft are erring indeed. They confuse the use of freedom by the enemy to do evil things, which cannot be done, with the use of anarchy by the enemy -in light of the lack of enforcement of current laws (borders, gun etc.) - in order to do evil things.

Freedom means insulation of man's sin from another man's sins, so interference in their respective endeavors with conflict of interest - even if dangerous accademic behaviors for the self - may not occur, so long as those behaviors do not affect the neighbor's life. Such protection of such insulation through the gun is non-negociable.

Automatic weapons should never have been banned in the first place either, because while AlCapone was "disarmed", so was, say, WalMart... and now AlCapone cares less about laws but WalMart cannot afford the expensive AW taxes... and the WTC could not afford AAA guns either.

Violent muslim proselytism will not be opposed by banning weapons in the US and intimidating the US public from using those in case such violent proselytism against muslims desiring apostasy is used... and continues to be used.

I relly hate it that I will have to hold my nose and vote for him again. I am very displeased with his fence-riding. he is going to have trouble getting his base motivated with crap like this. I am a true conservative and am having concerns about our candidate. He seems to be a bigger lib than his father.

Won't happen. By supporting Dubya on the war, conservatives have joined themselves with him at the hip. They will vote for him on that issue, and that issue alone, if all else fails. He knows this and acts accordingly.
