They "should have" got that message
when he purposely let the so called
"assault weapons ban" expire.
But, noooooooooooooooooooo,
it's much more fun to bash Bush.
So much for the "Bush is dumping on gunowners" rants.
All it argues is that there is an individual right.
There is nothing to undermine the Bush doctrine of "reasonable restrictions" which is exactly the Schumer/Feinstein doctrine.
Read the part of the memo relating to Miller, and consider the obvious unasked question: "if a sawed off shotgun isn't related to military use and thus may be restricted under the NFA of 1934, WHAT ABOUT MACHINE GUNS!!!!?"
Bush supports 1934, 1968, 1986, and AWB. He loves restrictions. I guess like Kerry, he believes there is an individual right to have shotguns and hunting rifles for certain people who jump through certain hoops. Big deal.
Bush has perfectly fallen into the trap set by the antis. They present an absurd position (collective right) as if it is a legitimate dispute, then Bush crows, and his gullible supporters applaud, when he says that the absurd is incorrect. Imagine how excited you will be when the Supreme Court finally rules that it is an individual right. Big deal. Decades of creeping gun control, and some gullible people will think that "we" will have gained something. In fact, we are fighting on their turf, instead of discussing repeal of unconstitutional gun laws like 1934, 1968, and 1986.
JFK used federal powers to keep states from opressing blacks. Bush hasn't lifted a finger to releive the oppression of residents of DC, for instance. And his minions have continued to toss people in jail for possessing guns that should be legal under the Constitution.
So much for the "Bush is dumping on gunowners" rants.Bull.
This is what I mean when I say "Second Amendment".
I mean, suppose there's a LOT of deer? Suppose they are all inside armored vehicles? What do I do then, hmmmm?
