Repealing the assault weapons ban right now just isn't good politics, Bush has other things to worry about. The way to win the gun rights debate in this country is to keep pushing for CCW in new states. States that get CCW turn pro-gun. Then in a few decades the assault weapons ban will die a quiet death and few people will get very excited about it.

You're right.....Bush is more worried about "good politics" than upholding his oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

I guess 20 years isn't too long to wait to be a law-abiding citizen again. (For some. Not me, of course.)

You mean like they said in 1994? "Oh, it'll sunset in '04."

A few decades? How many generations have to be disarmed?

The way to keep this travesty from reoccurring is for the government to Do Nothing. There is no legislation to defeat if the government does Nothing.

Jiminy Christmas.

Leaders persuade through an honest public debate of facts. The 'assault' 'weapons' ban is a pile of warm horse dung that stinks worse than the 'Campaign Finance Reform' bill he signed, the Kennedy 'Education' bill he signed, the Agriculture (welfare) Subsidy bill he signed, the 'USA Patriot' (UNconstitutional sneak-a-peak provision) he signed, etc. Bush is exactly what I expected when I voted for him; if someone better challenges him in the primary, then we'll see.
