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.

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)

I agree with this--we should not punish the good guys. I will vote for pro-2A candidates, if given the opportunity, regardless of party lines. As for GWB, he has made it abundantly clear that he is NOT a pro-2A candidate.
