"As for the train ride to the camps, well, I don't think the assault weapons ban (which has been law for almost ten years, during which time right-to-carry has expanded to nearly every state) renewal is the slippery slope that is going to get us there. Bush is smart not to fight it. It's simply not worth the political capital."

Yet, the article states that the White House is going to fight this...on the wrong side. If he does, he must pay a price politically...even if that means that an anti-gun nut job moves into his office.

Your point about expanding CCW is well taken...we're on the offensive there and winning. Why, then, do you cede defeat on this front? Because you don't own any of those nasty rifles?

Oh, no. I do! I do! I have the nicest Russian SKS with the works. It's a blast to shoot. I only have a ten-round clip, but that's only because I haven't felt the need to buy the 30-rounder (which is readily available almost anywhere). However, let's be honest. If I was hunting you, would you prefer I have my SKS with a full 30-round clip, or my 30-06 with two shells? I know which I would choose
