In Monday's edition of the Washington Post, Dana Milbank was kind enough to report on the results of KeepAndBearArms.com's poll slamming President Bush for his support for the Clinton/Feinstein 1994 federal ban on various semi-automatic firearms and on effective-capacity magazines.
The Post even pointed out the strange silence from the NRA's "leadership" on Bush's promise to follow in his father's footsteps as a gun banning backstabber.
Here's the Post's paragraph:
"The National Rifle Association, which opens its convention in Orlando this week, has held its fire after a Bush spokesman said the president supports reauthorizing the assault weapons ban. Not so the pro-gun Web site keepandbeararms.com, which did a somewhat, er, loaded Web poll. Asked whether they would still vote for Bush if he signs a renewal of the ban, 79.6 percent of respondents chose the option, 'Hell no, and I'll tell all of my friends to abandon him, too.' Three percent chose the less extreme option, 'Yes, I would still vote for him, even after he proves that he's a traitor.' "

If you've ever seen NRA's Executive VP, Wayne LaPierre speak publicly, you know the man has a way with words. The cat doesn't get Mr. Smoothtalker's tongue. His silence is deafening.
MESSAGE TO WAYNE LAPIERRE AT NRA:
Playing "politics" with our rights again? If you fellas sell us out on the so-called "assault weapons" ban, everything in this archive: http://KeepAndBearArms.com/NRA will look sweet, kind and gentle compared to the active, aggressive, continual public awareness campaign aimed at NRA's leadership that will be launched. Gun owners are fed up with compromises and political games being played against our rights. The vast majority polled promise they will not cast another vote in Bush's direction if he signs this ban. Do you honestly believe your membership tally won't suffer a similar fate?
The sunsetting of the Clinton/Feinstain gun ban is our line in the sand. No compromise. None. Sunsetting the ban is the only option...
