Presumably you meant "why would I support any legislation that would infringe on our rights to arms..." I won't act like tpaine and jump down your throat with a "gotcha."

Our national security will not be compromised by a renewal of that ban but it certainly will by removing a president willing to fight our enemies and replacing him with one who won't.

There is no proposal for amnesty of illegals. We were not attacked by people who entered the country illegally at any rate.

"Our national security will not be compromised by a renewal of that ban...

Who are our enemies and what would be compromised?

Sure it will.

Bush signs ban ==> loses office ==> war effort suffers.

His supporters would do well to impress that upon him.

The choice W has to make is: Does he do his best to defend the country, or does he sacrifice that in order to deprive his countrymen of their liberty?

"Our national security will not be compromised by a renewal of that ban"

Wrong, it will be another step towards the illegalization of all firearms. That will pose a major problem for national security.

"There is no proposal for amnesty of illegals."

Wrong, what is an amnesty? It is the pardon/forgiving of crime. His proposal will forgive them for illegally entering the country, which is a crime.

"We were not attacked by people who entered the country illegally at any rate."

Maybe not, but they were here illegally. They had overstayed visas, thus they were illegal aliens. His proposal would also forgive/pardon them. Sorry, he needs to push enforcement of current laws.
