"That's a non-negotiable bottom line,"

Stop a moment and think how much the Dems will "negotiate" with you when they pass laws taking away all firearms!

Then we can VFTR!

I've "stopped and thought" about that for two decades. If the Publicans will renew the Ugly Gun Ban, they'll eventually get around to "pass[ing] laws taking away
all firearms! " I don't particularly care whether the thugs have "R" or "D" after their names. Thug is as thug does. We got the original (imported) "assault weapons" ban courtesy of an executive order by a Publican President. X41 personnaly banned more guns than X42.

It doesn't matter, because at that point, the "awkward stage" will be over.

They can pass an edict declaring the sun to rise in the west and set in the east.

Just because they pass an edict doesn't make it so.

Should traitors infiltrate the American government and announce an edict that attempts to repeal the 2nd amendment, I would guess that those traitors would find themselves "negotiating" with Patriots from 300 yards away.

Then let that day come. (And yes, I mean what you think I mean by that statement.)

You are the one who isn't thinking about this. Instead you are offering the traditional platitudes of the party over principles crowd.

The truth:

Republicans have control of the senate and the house. If gore was president now, renewal of the AWB wouldn't be an option. They would oppose it because they know it is the right thing to do. It only passed in a democrat controlled senate after a tie breaking vote by algore himself.

But now we have bush in the white house. Instead of standing on principle, the rove doctrine seems to be to sellout your positions before your opponents can even attempt to use them against you. And the president will get certain senators to go with him, just because that's what they do. So instead of having a spine, they vote with the political wind.

And according to you, all this is a good thing because it's better to willingly give up your constitutional rights than to be put in a position where you'd actually have to put up a political fight to keep them.

And you called people who disagreed with you idiots in a previous post. Hah.
