The AWB is a meaningless "bone" for the gun control nuts, let it be. Has anyone found it so bad. Everyone knows it's a phony ban to start with so what's the big deal.

I'm so glad you said that because I was thinking the same thing. If the ban is useless, why fret about it, if it is only 'feel good' legislation? I think that Dubya is very astute when it comes to things that congress tries to shove on he plate. He took the same stance with campaign finance, and let the courts kill most of it as unconstitutional, rather than take the political hit. I think he believes this type of thing shouldn't reach his desk.

I agree with you overall but remember there is one part of the campaign finance law that made signing it worthwhile, the "hard money" limit was raised. Great for the GOP. To me the whole thing was a show by the DEMS, they just got caught up in their own BS, not unusual, they don't really like it either.

Why don't you two actually READ what is in the existing ban and then read what is being thrown into the new ban.

If you don't see a problem then you are not supporters of the Bill of Rights.

Why fret about an overt attack upon the Constitution? Because there once was a republic, the United States of America, that was based upon a Constitution.
