" Quite the contrary I am speaking of those who understand that turning on Bush on minor and subsidiary issues is stupid, irrational, pointless and guaranteed to cause more trouble (for gun owners) than sticking with him. It is very simple."

It's not a minor point. It has to do with Freedom as I outlined to Mindbender above.

From #243...It appears that the House will not reauthorize it on their own. It's in your interest and President Bush's interest to make sure that law dies. Any efforts on the part of Administration to undermine the 2nd Amendment will be duly noted and taken into consideration during the campaign and at the polling place. It is very simple.

Compared to the issues of real importance Bush must deal with this is a totally minor issue with little or nothing to do with real freedom merely pleasures and fun. None of those howling about freedom have used these weapons (outside the military service or police use) for anything but pleasure and fun. Using one to stop an assault or a crime becomes a crime itself about the time the first unnecessary round is fired. You can shoot someone in most cases once but more than that is not allowed. Not even if the shot guy needed shooting.

It is interesting to note the fanaticism it has generated particularly when the chance of the House extending it is zero. It won't even be brought up for a vote but that has not stopped the foaming at the mouth, blustering and threatening.

True conservatives are circling the wagons around the President to defend him from the RATmedia attacks rather than posturing and making empty and idiotic threats.
