"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 Have any of the gun control laws passed during Clinton's two terms been repealed?"

Yes, President Bush signed into law two bills that repealed the federal ban on any pilots ever being armed.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

Bush is a mixed bag on this issue.

Good:
1. Told the UN to go to hell.
2. Said he's sign a bill stopping frivolous gun manufacturers.
3. Said the 2nd Amendment is an individual right. Bad:
1. Campaign finance law.
2. SAID he'd sign the AW ban renewal(what he does determines my vote).
