The Republicans were in office 12 years and mostly rewarded themselves. Anybody remember any gun rights laws offered in that that time? Nope.
You're right... However, I also remember AG Ashcroft stating that the 2nd Amendment affirms the individual's right to keep and bear arms.
I miss AG Ashcroft.

Well actually, yes. The House, under Mr. Newt, passed a repeal of the original AW ban in it's first days in office, in 1995. Of course the RINOs in the Senate just couldn't bring themselves to consider such a thing. The House is now majority Dem, with some RINOs and the Senate is also majority Dem, with lots of RINOs.

I remember quite a number.
The bill to require all states to recognize all concealed carry permits.
The bill to enforce rights to self defense with firearms in the national parks.
The bill to restore the right to own handguns in DC.
There are quite a few more. Most got very little press. Blame the MSM.
