It is not necessary for Dubya to expound upon the Constiution, the Second Amendment and Patrick Henry the way some knee-jerk "conservatives" demand.

All Congress has to do is ignore it, and they can easily do that if it stays off the radar screen.

Right, but if that comes to pass, then the mouthbreathers will be shouting that Bush wasn't strong enough, that he didn't use his office to push for a repeal of the 1934 NFA, they're not going to make the mistake of voting for a gun grabber like Bush ever again, etc.

One thing I do admire about the Democrats and liberals is that they will take their victories however they get them - legislation, through the courts, through Hollywood, however. We need to be the same way - Bush doesn't have to pount the podium and shout the "Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you!" quote for us to win this battle.

But, some gun owners would rather be a persecuted minority, for that feeds their martyr complex...

When did the Assault Weapons bill fall off the radar screen? There have been dozens of articles in the newspapers and there have been more than a couple online polls asking the readers what should be done.

We need every single Repubican giving speeches why they won't vote for this thing. They need a united front to combat it. If gun control is a dead issue, we have to continue to bring it up by trying to remove it. If the Repubicans continue to mention gun rights with every speech it forces the dems to continue to mention the dying issue of gun control.

Like the Wall Street Journal said:
But liberals didn't care about these details because guns were simply a wedge issue designed to scare suburbanites, and particularly women, into voting Democrat. Now that elections have repudiated the strategy, the party's enthusiasm has waned.

The libs created gun control as a issue, let them fall apart because of it.

Just as some would seek compromise with an Americanized Hitler or Stalin. And convince themselves that they know what's best for everyone else.
