Best regards to all,
Best regards,
Thank you for posting .
Bump...
I can assure you, this has more than rankled me.
I am a longtime Bush supporter. You can check my posts going back to 2,000 and not find any Bush bashing on my part. It has pained me that he let me down on immigration and I said so, but I sucked it up and held my water.
Shooting me in the back over my 2A rights, whowever, might be too much. If we lose this SCOTUS decision with GWB's help, I'll be more than bitter and certainly not forgiving. BTW, I'm being mild here and not posting my true anger over this.
We are on the same page ... Here’s some info for anyone else who doesn’t know about Flip’s anti-gun stances ....

I share your pain and admire your reserved expression which I find necessary to do also.

Perhaps they fear that the court will actually rule for the 2A as the Founding Fathers intended. Or more likely they are making a bunch of back door deals to get the ruling they want.
More likely all these Big government folks fear free citizens would hamper their agenda for a global socialist utopia.
Hell, if I’d have known that “W” had all these major problems, I would have just gone fishing, instead of hauling my old butt out of bed, to vote for him!
“W” has got to be the biggest let down in my life!
Here’s a better headline:
Bush is a Traitor.
Welcome home.
I remember in 2000 an NRA state director saying that in a video that if gwB was elected “We would have one of our guys in the White House”
And of course the Msm went bonkers over that video
“Why he is the back pocket of the NRA”
I would have prefered if he had been in the back pocket of the NRA, and I also think if one of the Dhimmirats wins in November, GWB’s two terms will be known as the “Happy Time”.

I think most of us here on FR share your pain on this. After voting for Bush twice, I have never felt so betrayed.
myself also. I have never felt so betrayed in my life. anybody heard a response yet from the nra on this latest issue?

How about the “WASTE OF TIME’?
I would never have worked my ass of to get him elected, if I had ever suspected just how bad he was set to screw me over!
Shame on Me, I won’t do that, again!
I wrote snail-mail letters to both Bush and Clement.
The justification in the brief for a lower level of scrutiny is extremely weak. It basically just ignores the Second Amendment. I hope that my request that they withdraw this brief doesn't result in them submitting a stronger one.
The only justification for suggesting that "reasonable regulation" isn't an infringement was one early court decision which permitted a ban on concealed carry. One judge's decision is hardly sufficient to outweigh the Founder's intentions to bar infringements.
I recommend that everybody communicate their dissatisfaction with this brief.
