The better question is...
Sooooo after cutting off their nose to spite their face in the previous elections, what body part will it be this time?


NO. The "better question"(s) may be...

What did NRA members gain by working so hard to elect Dubya in 2000? Have any of the gun control laws passed during Clinton's two terms been repealed? Would the NRA be better off just ignoring the Presidential race and focus on keeping a pro-gun and/or Republican majority in Congress?

I sure President Dean would see this and change his view towards guns. He would appoint only strict constitutionalist to the bench who then would support the NRA’s agenda.

Good thinking! That’s using the old noggin!

Yes, President Bush signed into law two bills that repealed the federal ban on any pilots ever being armed.

President Bush also Ordered Attorney-General Ashcroft to formally notify the Supreme Court that the OFFICIAL U.S. government position on the 2nd Amendment is that it supports INDIVIDUAL rights to own firearms, NOT a leftist-imagined *collective* right.


And President Bush told the United Nations we weren't interested in their plans for gun control (i.e. the International Ban on Small Arms Trafficking Treaty), too.

You'll also find that President Bush has been working with Congress to give full immunity to all American firearms manufacturers from frivolous lawsuits by cities and states and various left-wing organizations.
