This thread is really amusing and gone so far from reality. I don't think there's going to a big backlash b/c he's upholding the assault rifle ban. Whether it's a good law or not, a vast majority of people don't think people should be buying assault rifles, RPGs, landmines, and other weaponry of the like.

The people here can say "I'm not voting for him every again.".. that's your right... but your right will elect a democrat who's all about taking away your right to own a gun and all sorts of other negatives that come with the liberal left.

Well, all those are already illegal without a "NFA class 3".

Even so, you are not seeing the big picture here.

1. It's assault 'weapons', not assault 'rifles'. There's a big difference between the two. An "assault rifle" in the TRUEST definition of the word is a firearm that can shoot full and semi-auto. Those are illegal without a NFA Class III

2. An 'assault weapon' can be anything the government decides it is. This can be your grandfather's shotgun. In Illinois, Daley wants to ban ALL .50 calibers as assault weapons. Almost all shotguns are over .50 caliber. That puts things in perspective.

3. Gunowners were probably(besides Right to Life) Bush's biggest base in the 2000 election. Ask Gore and Klinton. Turning on them is a slap in the face to the voting block with the longest memories in politics.

I was an independent in 2000. I was not a Republican then. My vote for Bush was due to guns(and Janet Reno/Andrew Cuomo specifically).
