My argeument was not about the Patrick Henry statement...that was nothing more than an add on which you then focused upon. My principle statement was about your non-factual statement regarding fully automatic machine guns and linking that to the AWB, which you did not address.

In doing so, whether you like it or not, you are being lured into standing on the opposition's ground, spouting their lies and misrepresentations regarding this issue and negatively effecting the very public sentiment you are clamoring about.

Public sentiment regarding our most basic liberties that is based on a lie is dangerous Dane and should be opposed at all costs.

Fregards.

You know what I meant. People hear Assault Weapons Ban and they think machine guns. Hey that is how the liberals framed the debate. Your job and it is a tough one is to convince people why the AWB is bad and giving a generic arguement of the Founding Fathers is going to right over the head of 80% of the American population. Hey I don't like it either, but thats the way it is.

All I was suggesting is for you to make arguements that can be explained simply in 2003 terms why the AWB is bad. Cursing 80% of the population does no good, but trying to educate them may do some good.
