Bush selected Ashcroft for a lot of reasons, I've no evidence that his position on the 2nd Amendment was the issue Bush found appealing. With all the appointments he had to make, the list of high profile, strong advocates of the 2nd Amendment should be lengthy. Instead, I'm not sure it doesn't stop at Ashcroft and Bolton. I'd like to be corrected if the list is longer.
There wasn't any evidence his father, other than some of his personnel moves, felt as he did until later in his presidency. IMHO, GWB's selection of Magaw in the first place, sent those paying attention a pretty solid early message.

In your world, then, I guess Bush getting rid of Magaw now sends the message that he's pro-2nd amendment, huh?
You're seeing things that aren't there, but that happens a lot around here.
