Stirring up trouble again I see, Todd.

For the millionth time this will be fought in the House, where the 2nd Amendment actually matters the most, local congressional elctions.

In 99 Schumer and Feinstein passed thru a gun control after Columbine, the House passed a different bill with the help of 45 rural democrats and the Feinstein/Schumer bill died in conference.

The President can fend off demo and media attacks that he is a hostage to the gun lobby in an election year and Congressmen can say they protected the 2nd amendment in the 2004 election.

I know, I know, people will bring up CFR, but CFR is totally different, CFR was a feel good issue that actually blew up in the demo's faces since it turned off their tap of soft money and the latest reports have the Pubbies having a 4 to 1 advantage in fund raising and, IMHO, the most vile part of CFR(ad bans) will be thrown out before the 2004 elections.

You can go on with your chest thumping and simplistic rants Todd.

Here is the deal..........

The President said he 2000 he would support the ban. The time to stop it is before he signs a ban.

I call this the Bush ex machina defense. The thesis here is that George Bush is so wise, so infinitely perspicacious, that what appears to be betrayal of gun rights is only part of a Keen Master Plan to befuddle his enemies.

This isn't faith; it's hero worship.
