Bad, but Bad, but I can understand the administrations position.
What is their to understand in "the administrations position"?
This is a time bomb waiting to go off 2 months before an election, by taking this position the administration shields itself from the bombardment of the mainstream press ready to pounce and shout, "Bush hostage to gun lobby".
Is that what you're calling "the administrations position"?
Would you rather the non-mainstream press, which has far more influence than the mainstream press after years of their shoddy work, shout "Bush hostage to gun control lobby"? Looks to me that that is what is happening, and rightly so.

You're all too aware of the incremental approaches of the Socialists (you've even used that as an argument against me basically calling me what I abhor) yet you shrug this off with your "but" position.
You know this is bad legislation and you know it is going to lose GWB votes if he renews the ban, but you and others are willing to hand over our political birthright for a mere four years in a game of political expediency!
I'm sorry, but I simply don't understand that way of thinking.

And before you start...I don't want to see another Democrat elected into the Presidency. I'd rather see a Constitution Party member or a Libertarian elected before that ever happens again.
I'd prefer a Republican who understands and upholds the Constitution. I'd prefer a Republican who understands that a Republican is supposed to support a republican form of government. I'd prefer a Republican who acknowledges that rights are inherent in the people and that government is our servant and not our master.
I'll sit home again and trust my Electors and take some, but not much, solice in that.
