Then we'll have a Clinton or Clintonlike candidate who'll take away all guns.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

coming soon is the day when an executive order declares that the second amendment is an amendment of terrorists, leaning to overthrow the legitimate government through illegitimate means.

after all, that is what the second amendment is all about, not hunting. the patriot act and anti-terrorism laws will make the second amendment, unnecessary and cement it as an assault on legitimate governance.

there are many who view the government as their bread and butter. free men are to be feared and exterminated...

good luck to all

[Joe Hadenuf]

The winner!

So we should support Bush when he takes away our firearms, because if we don't, then the Democrats will get into power and take away our firearms? Hello, McFly?

[satan]

And Bush also said he'd veto concurrent receipt for disabled veterans until they reminded him that without their votes he'd probably lose.

Same applies here. The threat of simply not voting may be enough. That's perhaps why we have a secret ballot.

John Warner is also so entrenched that last year the 'Rats didn't bother to run anyone against him. I voted (write in) for Oliver North ...

If not for this traitor RINO, Ollie might well be in the Senate. Of course there was that diatribe by Nancy that didn't help either.

[itsahoot]

No, "all conservatives" did not vote for him.

No they didn't, I know for a fact.

"It wont be re-authorized."

It's not a bad thing to let them know folks won't be happy if it is. Just in case.

I'm sure you have seen this exchange.

"Knee pad Republicans"

More like "dropped-the-soap" Republicans.

If he pushes it, that will be the final kick in the teeth for me.

After the fact will be too late don't you think? If we can't stand up against them while we're still armed, how can we stand against them unarmed? Without our guns we will be victims. The time to rasie hell is now!

[justshutupandtakeit]

True conservatives understand there is no chance of electing a more conservative president than Bush and they understand that the AW ban is essentially irrelevent to anything. Our nation and its liberties existed for almost 150 yrs before "Assault" weapons were even invented. Such things were never even imagined by our founders.

I am an NRA member who believes prohibition of such weapons is not a reason to refuse to back a good man doing his best to preserve our nation in its deadly fight against an enemy as evil as it has ever faced. Those who turn away from him are neither conservatives nor patriots rather they are such as one would not want as an ally because they will cut and run at the least excuse.

You are either with the President or doing the work of the RATmedia. The choice is yours.

[Stew Padasso]

"If we can't stand up against them while we're still armed, how can we stand against them unarmed? Without our guns we will be victims. The time to rasie hell is now!"

Why do you plan on handing over your weapons if they are able to enforce such measures?

[Badray]

Thanks. My apologies for some of my language in that post, but I just get so po'ed at people who give in so easily and give up so much because they are afraid that it could be worse.

[jmc813]

Stop a moment and think how much the Dems will "negotiate" with you when they pass laws taking away all firearms!

It doesn't matter, because at that point, the "awkward stage" will be over.

[Stew Padasso]

So where do you draw the line?

"Our nation and its liberties existed for almost 150 yrs before "Assault" weapons were even invented."

Everybody hand in your guns and use your muskets to fight off a tyrannical governmnet outfitted with the latest and greatest arms. Yeah, that makes a whole lot of sense.

Next you'll tell us that the second amendment is for duck hunting.

Bump for later review

[spodefly]

The AWB is the line in the sand. If the gun-banning incrementalism doesn't stop when "conservatives" control the House, Senate, and White House, then it isn't going to stop until WE stop it.

[Badray]

"I am an NRA member. . . "

Yada, yada, yada.

You are the one that is cutting and running - from principle. That the Founders never considered the Internet doesn't mean that we should be licensed or taxed to communicate with it. If we allow this ban to stand or be extended, it builds prededent for more bans and more limitations.

Take a stand on principle and quit worshipping the man that is complicit in destroying the Constitution.
