...and if Democrats want to be portrayed as gun-banners in the 2008 elections, then so be it.

I read that someone here has an inside scoop, it's a done deal.

Meaning Bush will sign it.

Meaning it's not just the Democrats who will want to appear as gun banners.

It looks like -- if this goes through -- the sellout is complete.

It’s not your father’s Republican party anymore, kid.

WE MAY HAVE BEEN HAD!

MY SEARCH FOR S1237 CAME UP WITH THIS:

"S.1237 Title: A bill to expedite the transition to digital television while helping consumers to continue to use their analog televisions. "

Can anyone confirm the source of this article, the web link for SAF has no home page?

Hell, just send him to canada; he’d fit right in. The RCMP Firearms Officers can enter your home without a warrant and search your home for any firearms violations or unsafe storage and they can seize your guns and ammo for any reason any time they want to. Any time, and without a warrant. And, guess what! You will never get your guns back, and your firearms acquisition and carry permits are taken from you on the spot and never returned. All on the whim of some french RCMP officer. And this is all legal and spelled out in the criminal code. So let’s fight back with all we have to prevent this happening here. This is not some little unimportant chickensheis stuff here. This is the real battle. Freedom of speech pales by comparison.

For God’s sake, don’t address them in their own language - it only serves to encourage them.

In the existence of multiple independent sources.

All that I can read is the opinion of one individual; Alan Gottlieb. Perhaps I missed the second page of his email which sources the AG, or anyone beside the author?

I'll say it. He's ruining our country, through action and inaction.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Man oh man.......the Bush administration is looking more and more like a dictatorship!

I guess this Affirmative Action hire can’t read the constitution, but was hired anyway.

Dear God, Please don't let the help the BUSH BOTS see the light!!

[redgolum]

Glad Pres. Bush went to bat for him./sarcasm

Looks like the ground work for the confiscation of all fire arms has been laid.

[redgolum]

I have friends there also, and to be honest after talking with them last summer my support for this game has waned.

The ROE are such that there are “safe zones” of operation set up by the Iraqi government. We are not allowed to follow the enemy into his home. We are fighting this like Nam, and if that doesn’t change will loose like Nam.

[FroedrickVonFreepenstein]

I want this incompetent stooge hosed for good.

Bush or Gonzales?

[redgolum]

Bush has never been very strong on gun rights.

"Called the “Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2007,” this legislation would give the Attorney General discretionary authority to deny the purchase of a firearm or the issuance of a firearm license or permit because of some vague suspicion that an American citizen may be up to no good."

Are they insane???


Yes.

LOL! I didn't see an entry for that load on the ballistics charts. Got any info?! ;o)

SAF is a reliable source. What was the year of the S1237 you saw?

[Carry_Okie]

Perhaps I missed the second page of his email which sources the AG, or anyone beside the author?

See Post 296.

IIRC, it was the Ashcroft DOJ in August 2004 which issued that particular opinion, or at least did most of the work on it.
