"Security trumps all other issues..."

It doesn't trump liberty. Bush may find that out if he signs the so-called "Assault" Weapons ban.

Dittos. The Bush advisors would be well advised not to take their supporters for granted.

You'd deny Bush your vote because you can't get
a machine gun to kill deer and call it sport?  Mercy.

It would be nice if the single issue gun nuts would keep their posts on the thousands of threads already dedicated to threatening not to vote for Bush because of the AWB.

Vote for Bush or don't vote for Bush, but for Pete's sake we've all heard the threat ad nauseum already.

Ah....so we can't have security and liberty.

You're going to find out that, even with an AWB, most Republicans will support Bush, and he will pick up support from the independents.

You overestimate your power.

Bush will lose more votes from "Soccer Moms" if he vetoes the ban than he will lose from gun owners if he signs it. It is a lose/lose situation for Bush

Best that the bill never sees his desk (which is what I am sure Bush is hoping for).

Excellent point!

I'm an Irish girl, but as far as I know the 'assault weapons' ban was introduced by Clinton initially. So you would not vote Republican, but support a Democrat because the Democrat introduced it in the first place?????(Now my head is spinning!!)
