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.

The assault weapon ban is useless as it stands now. What the hell is everyone complaining about? Currently, I can go to any gun show here in Florida and buy enough fire power to take over Iran. Heaven forbid, he is doing exactly what he said he would during the election. Honor is a hard thing to find in a president, but evidently this means nothing.

BTW, we don't live in a perfect world. You will never, I mean never have a president that is 100% lock step and barrel with your beliefs. You have to learn to take the good with the bad, that is part of growing up and life. If you are worried about a police state, the banned weapons are not going to help. I police forces are armed to the teeth now, since 9/11 the police force in Lakeland where I live can carry any weapon they want (they are loaded for bear) and have M16s.

I disagree. I voted for him so that HE would lead, and protect ME (and my liberties). I have no intention of protecting him from the unsavory task of upholding his oath, and sending a message to the gun-grabbers that the era of encroaching our rights is over. Thia is his job, and if he won't do it, I'll find someone else who will.

I will vote for the most viable candidate (including a Dem) that takes a courageous stand to defend and restore my constitutional liberties, particularly firearms rights.
