If you were a member of the NRA, you would know exactly where they stand on the issue.
The people who are saying that they won't vote for him somehow must have sat out the election because he said BEFORE THE ELECTION he would sign it if it reached his desk.
During the last election, we worked hard because I and the other NRA members knew that the people who were going to be voted in would be deciding the AWB. We had NRA members working in the offices of the A rated candidates.
That's why today, we have the votes to stop it in the committee before it reaches Congress. We now have to remind those elected why they're there in the first place. It's up to us.
Let's remind Bush and the members of Congress who put them there.
But I am in no way going to go back to putting the dems back in the White House. We have to go forward, not back.

What makes you think Im not? I never said I didnt understand where the NRA stood on the AW sunset. I asked if theyve made a stmt concerning Bush's willingness to sign an extension.
As for the NRAs influence...yes, but not nearly so as real people writing to their reps multiple times on the same issue. If gun owners would get off their collective duffs thered be no (not much anyhow) need for the NRA in the political field. The money better spent on shooting than lining lawyers/activists pockets.
Sorry, I dont recall Bush making mention of the AW sunset during the election.
Anymore, the dems and rebuplicans are blending so theres little distinction. Its just a matter of which is worse than the other. The spector of a renewal isnt going forward.
