I knew that I would stir up the pot by posing my thoughts on the subject. Some of you have posted some solid reasoning, and others have resorted to the age old rights hyperbole.(I declined to make the requsite howitzer reply) It has been interesting all the same.

To summarize, I feel this battle, at this time to be a fools errand and would not think of asking Bush to allow the sunset for a variety of reasons. (most are stated, and most are shared with the majority of voters)

The most difficult obstacle is the fact that this is happening at a time when the FBI is rolling up terror cells in 40 states. The AK is their signature weapon of choice and you are advocating the legalization of the import and sale of said weapon.

I just do not think it is going to happen.

How about a compromise with another devious sunset provision so that this can be looked at again when the weather cools off a bit?

Nope, now is the time to be most vigilant, not only to our President (yes, I voted for him) Bush, but every politician that represents you including your local
city/county/state and federal representatives.

Everyone keep sending your cards and letter’s. Keep the message easy to understand, Mess with the Sunset, and you will be gone. And, do it regularly from now until 2004.

Wrong… Explosives, especially the “human detonating” kind are. And, BTW you can get a brand spanking new AK (variant) any day you want, right now.

And, if you believe the Media/FBI… Well, nothing else need be said.

“How about a compromise with another devious sunset provision so that this can be looked at again when the weather cools off a bit?”

Not only NO, but HELL NO, no compromise at all, no matter what the weather is.

"...The AK is their signature weapon of choice and you are advocating the legalization of the import and sale of said weapon...."

Sarah Brady propaganda.
