Bush is screwing the pooch.
I won't vote for em if it makes it thru congress and he signs it.
Will wash my hands of em.
No matter what else he accomplishes.
Government needs an army with tanks and planes. But no soldier or police officer should be singly better armed than any citizen concerning small arms. Once it happens we live in tyranny because there is no fear for corrupted politicians, IMO we live under tyranny now.
For those who don't understand, the 2nd was put in so we could fight the govt, protect ourselves from criminal elements and for invasions.
Bush better hope congress don't re-approve it.
I don't give a flying rats a$$ if he's just saying it knowing it won't pass congress. This is not the way to keep a healthy number of your base happy.
Some people have thier basic core issue, and this is mine.
To: Southack
My thoughts exactly. When Ari or Bush stated publically that they will sign the ban extension, then I think the anger and disappointment will be justified. In the meantime, email the WH and your representatives to keep the pressure on.

This thread is full of disruptors whose purpose is to get everyone stirred up against our President. It sickens me. I smell a DU attack here.

This could be a maneuver to keep the Sucker Moms happy.
For the Ugly Gun Ban to be renewed, the authorization (a new law, in effect) has to pass both the Republican-controlled Senate and the Republican-controlled (and much more conservative, despite what this press release says) House. If he actually pushes such a bill, that's one thing; if he pays lip service and lets it die, that's another.
It never pays to misunderestimate Dubya. :-)

If this is true, then it's like I was afraid of, he's no better than his father - a damned moderate, not a true conservative
To: Ford Fairlane
You actually thought GWB was a 'true conservative'?

Wow. I must be breaking the law; I have a factory high cap map in my Beretta 92.
Oh wait, you mean the BAN doesn't actually BAN anything?
But I must be in violation of the law because I own a Franchi SPAS-12, a weapon listed in the assault weapons ban. What, you're telling me that the Assault Weapons BAN doesn't actually BAN them? Now I'm confused.
"Common Sense" gun control sure doesn't seem to make much sense to me.
To: pabianice
President Bush indicated as far back as the 2000 campaign that he would "probably" re-authorize the Semi-Auto Gun Import Ban.
He has continued to indicate the same position since then, with no change in status.
As Gun Rights are a Priority with me, this is one of the Top Issues that I voiced concern over then, and do so now.
The Ban must be ended, completely, irrevocably, without argument over it's merits.
It has no merit.

No, I never did, but every time I bring that up here one of the BushBots gets pissed at me
(Not that I really dislike our President, I just wish he was more conservative - he's better than the alternative)

I was only 15 and not a gun owner when the 94 Bill went through, so I'm a little hazy on how things were pre-94. If the ban ends, does that mean that HK91's, semi-auto FAL's, SKS's, etc. can be imported and sold again? And does it mean that pistol mags will now be sold with factory high caps?
If so, do you think any gun manufacturer's will give people a trade-in credit for all of their worthless 10 round mags? I think that would be a great promotional idea, and a good way for weapons makers and gun owners to finally purge all memory of the Clinton years.
To: steplock
Who needs an automatic?
One Shot - One Kill is the motto, no? Sounds like you might not even know what the law says. If this ban expires without renewal, "automatics" will still be "banned". This law bans semi-automatics because of their evil appearance and because a gun is much too deadly and dangerous for law abiding civilians with 11 "bullets" but not with 10.

I'm probably one of the leading Bushbots, and I never thought GWB was a 'true conservative'- whatever that is since so many have their own definitions for that term.
I thought he was the best man for the job. Do I agree with everything he does? Nope. And I don't think many here do either- including several Bushbots.

McClellan is the admin's low level trial balloon floater...now the question will be raised on Meet the Depressed, the Gore Stephalookatpuss Show and all the other communist networks...and so it goes. It's time to buy all you can, legally in private arrangements on the qt and BLOAT.

Bush promised to "support existing law" regarding RKBA. He will keep that promise and hope the House can kill the bill.
Bush hired the first Attorney General in my lifetime to argue that RKBA is an individual right, so no-one will convince me he is an enemy of the 2A.
He just can't break a major campaign promise like his Daddy did.
