Well, first thing: GWB is NOT the GOP
second thing: GWB needs to play such games to get reelected, sadly. I think he needs to play these games a bit more cautiously - he could simply have said: I have no opinion on this law. That would have been more prudent than saying he supported it.
third thing: I really doubt the GOP congress will renew this law.

GWB needs to play such games to get reelected, sadly.

I've seen this 'sad' opinon before. WHY? - IMO, it isn't true at all.
If the GOP fielded a true constitutional conservative, he would win hands down. -- They won't, cause the GOP is controled by Rino's.

I think he needs to play these games a bit more cautiously - he could simply have said: I have no opinion on this law. That would have been more prudent than saying he supported it.

This type of political 'prudence' is destroying our free republic.

third thing: I really doubt the GOP congress will renew this law.

If they find it politically possible, they will. Bet on it.

So we have to work together with the gun groups so it doesn't reach his desk. That will take more time and work than simply sitting out the election in case he does sign the Bill.

I don't want to wake up some morning and find out the Bill was passed because I spent more time on threads like this instead of writing the White House.

What two votes is he going to get to make up for my wife's and mine if he does not demonstrate leadership on the AW ban?

When offered a major tyrant and a minor tyrant, I'll support neither.
