Bush, through his political spokesmen, has also stated that he would sign an Assault Weapons ban renewal should such a bill reach his desk. Well, why not? He hasn't vetoed a darn thing so far. It'd be almost inconsistant for him to do so at this point.

Not sure I want another four years of that crap. Is there no one else in the GOP that is worth a damn? I KNOW there isn't on the lefties side of the isle. I wouldn't even vote for Zell due to some of his lefty BS.

Failing a Bush re-election bid, a Republican majority IN BOTH HOUSES, and getting just the right justices nominated in time to hear just the RIGHT case, what other unlikely events need to unfold before you come to the rational conclusion that the system is irrevocably broken?

That's why I vote Libertarian.

I am simply analyzing the situation, and pointing out that the best chance (not necessarily a good chance) of recovering our Right to Keep and Bear Arms is if Bush appoints Justices during his second term who are more receptive to pro-2nd-Amendment arguments.

Do I like the situation? No. Am I advocating that people vote for Republicans? No. Do I think that a heavier Republican majority would have some bad effects outside of the arena of RKBA? Yes (e.g., continued runaway federal spending and pork barrel politics).

I am simply trying to objectively analyze the situation. If Silveira had been accepted by the Supreme Court, the results would likely have been disastrous -- far worse than the status quo. At least now there is a chance that a future Supreme Court with a better makeup might some day act to uphold the clear language of the Second Amendment.
