I'm in favor of gun rights-but not for terrorists

I agree but by and large, I doubt your average terrorist runs down to the local gun shop and plops down his DL to get his weaponry.

I'm glad that at least so far it appears that Ashcroft is sticking to his support of the right to bear arms, but if the gun industry is to be saved then more is needed than maintaining the status quo. The status quo is so burdensome that some ludicrous percentage of FFL-holders have turned in their licenses since '92. (Did I hear 75% somewhere a few months ago?) While the propaganda war was/is being constantly waged on the visible stage, the real strategy has been going on behind the scenes. That strategy is to eliminate the dealer base. Get rid of those pesky dealers and the manufacturers are absolutely sure to follow, as many already have. The firearms industry in the USA is in a death spiral, my friends.

"We're going to hammer guns on the anvil of relentless legistlative strategy! We're going to beat guns into submission!"
