I want to see a nice pro-2a AG.

I don't think you'll get one.

Bush doesn't need the conservatives any more -- that was last week. It'll be all about his legacy now.

He doesn't care about RKBA: that big, fat hedge in the Emerson brief that conservatives hailed because it argued that RKBA is an individual right? Well, look again, because it also walked all over "shall not be infringed"; it specifically left the door open for tight regulation. If the language of the amendment is discarded, what's the difference between Ashcroft's brief and a Clintonoid one? The BATF still comes to your house in black BDU's and balaclavas to kick your door down in the name of State confiscation. So what if the operative theory changes a little, if you get the same result?

I expect Bush will roll over on 2A eventually. Then tell us it's the consensus.

Why do I think this? Because I think the regulation hedge in the Emerson brief was Bush's, not Ashcroft's.

Do you have a link to the Emerson brief? I'd like to give it a read, maybe over the weekend, to see for myself.

You're a nutcase. I'm sure you were one of the foolios GUARANTEEING that Bush would renew the AWB.

You're so bitter and negative that you just can't accept victory!!!
