Do you spend all your time apoligizing for Bush? Maybe the first thing he signed into law was concealed carry, I don't know and, based on what I've seen of your posts, can't be sure you know either. I do know that his father crowed about his Life Membership in the NRA when running for office and, once elected to the Presidency, did his best to demonstrate he'd joined by mistake. IMHO his son is cut from the same cloth. Who can forget his hunting trip in 1999 when he stood out in a field, trying to look comfortable, and showed off the dickey bird he's just bagged. I'd ask you to give me some evidence Bush really does believe in the 2nd Amendment and would stand up for it even if it would hurt him politically but, having seen some of your other posts, don't have feel I have the time to wade through a mountain of BS right now.

Uh, he appointed John Ashcroft AG. Ashcroft has asserted that the an individual right to own firearms is part of the Constitution.

Your gratuitous insults aside, you've given no evidence that GWB doesn't believe in the 2nd Amendment.

Instead, you bash his father.

You're a hoot!

"That’s why I’m for instant background checks at gun shows. I’m for trigger locks."
George W. Bush - Source: St. Louis debate Oct 17,2000.

MORE INJUSTICE ON THE WAY - Bush GUN CONTROL
"Gene Healy, a Cato Institute scholar, recently provided a thorough exploration of the unintended consequences of one law, the new Bush-Ashcroft plan to federalize gun crimes, known as the Project Safe Neighborhoods program. The unintended consequences of this law are frightening."
NOTE: Same Article in Washington Times.

There Goes the Neighborhood: The Bush-Ashcroft Plan to "Help" Localities Fight Gun Crime, by Gene Healy

"W. Wimps Out on Guns"
The Bush package includes several pet causes of the gun-control lobby, including $75 million for gun locks; $15.3 million for 113 new federal attorneys to serve as full-time gun prosecutors; and $19.1 million to expand a program by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms aimed at preventing youths from obtaining guns. Although Bush stressed that he simply wants to "enforce existing laws," the fine print of Project Safe echoes the gun-grabbing Left's call to ban the importation of high-capacity ammunition clips."

Project Safe Neighborhoods, A Closer Look

LAURA BUSH:
"During her San Diego speech, for instance, she said nothing about the school shooting that occurred 20 miles away in El Cajon the day before, although in a television interview she condemned it, adding that she thinks more gun control laws are needed.

"I think that's very important," she said when asked by CNN whether stronger gun laws are needed."
