If Bush is hoping that the ban will never reach his desk - as he probably did with campaign finance reform, I hope he knows something that is that is not apparent to all of us here.

Chances are the ban will be passed by the Congress and will wind up on his desk, and he will sign it. The result will be the loss of enough pro-gun conservative votes to lose him the election, even though an assault gun ban may be preferable to another Democrat in the White House, one who may oppose handgun ownership or support a host of other issues.

Somebody should set up a petition on line to send Bush urging him and the Republican House and Senate leadership to bloack this bill. It can only Bush - one way or the other.

You are on the right track, but with the wrong method, petitions, and form letters are not all that effective. Phone calls work, if someone wants to organize a phone call campaign I would be 100% behind that, I will even contribute to the orginazation of a call campaign.
