If GW reauthorizes this, I will never vote Republican again. This is no idle threat. In fact, for the next election cycle, I will vote straight Democrate if there is a AW ban in place.

I'm with you, except for the Democrat vote part. I think I'll just sit out the election or vote Constitution or Libertarian Party. If GW reauthorizes the ban, he will have proven by his words and actions that he doesn't give a rat's hind end about the Constitution or his core constituency. I think we knew that already, though...

My problem with that is that you would then be punishing the good republicans that ARE pro-gun. If a good Republican like Mike Rogers votes against this ban, it passes anyway, and W signs it, why should he get punished by a dumb decision made at the top of the ticket?

Punish the individual, but not everyone. Hell, there may even be a freeper on the ticket. A conservative pro-gunner too for that matter. Last election, I helped one out(not even knowing he was a freeper)
