You are "--- an NRA member who believes prohibition of such weapons is not a reason to refuse to back a good man ---"

Thus, you support a man who says he will sign a bill prohibiting such weapons. -- You support signing the bill..

You are committing a retroductive fallacy of soundness (somewhat taking the form of the Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc fallacy). To wit:

  1. Jsuati supports George W. Bush.
  2. George W. Bush supports the AW ban.
  3. Therefore, Jsuati supports the AW ban.

Allow me to demonstrate by example where this fails:

  1. Roosters crow in the morning.
  2. In the morning the sun comes up.
  3. Therefore, roosters make the sun come up.
