The NRA is about to find out what it feels like to be at the receiving end of Compassionate Conservatism. Get out the vaseline.

"There are a lot of gun owners who worked hard to put President Bush in office, and there are a lot of gun owners who feel betrayed by him," said Angel Shamaya, an Arizona gun owner who runs a Web site called "keepandbeararms.com."

Way to go Angel. Keepandbeararms.com is a great site. I recommend it to everyone. We must keep their feet to the fire on this one. If we can stop the renewal of the Ugly Weapon Ban, we will have, for the first time in 70 years, have rolled back some of the unconstitutional infringments that have been enacted over that period. The anti-freedom people will be livid. They have always felt that they woud win with incrementalism, if only they never, ever, ever allow a move toward greater freedom. We have made progress in the States, but this would be a great first at the Federal level, and would indicate a turning of the tide, in my opinion.

We have several things in our favor:

The War on Terror

The Constitution

The Facts

Election coming soon

Republican House

Republican Senate

And, Most Importantly,

An increasingly free New Media to compete with the OldDominantLiberalMedia

You can count President Bush as an advantage if you like, because I don't believe the administration will actively push for the bill, and will actually push to have it killed in the Congress so he does not have to deal with it.

What did you expect? He's running for re-election. Would you rather have John F Kerry or John Edwards signing every piece of anti-gun legislation that crosses his desk?? Try dealing with reality instead of impossible absoloutes. And yes, I'm a Life Member NRA.
