I probably haven't read even half of the threads debating whether or not Arnold is a Rino but the ones I've read had little to do with taxes and more to do with his liberal bent towards gun control and abortion. Although I'm pleased with what Arnold has done so far I'm waiting to see how Freepers are going to defend Arnold when he initiates more gun control.

Well gee why would I have to defend it?!?!

Even though I wouldn't neccessary agree with him (depends on what he plans to institue). I was fully aware of his stance on the issue prior to voting. It also doesn't seem likely that he'll address this issue this term anyways. The man has a handful of more important issues to address.

So considering the fact that I was fully aware what I was getting into. Why should I regret it?

He won't, he is not anti-gun. The only quotes where he advocates gun control are from interviews when he was being questioned about youth violence and teens having guns.

Arnold Schwarzenegger 1998 - "Outlawing guns is not the right method of eliminating the problem. If you outlaw guns, people will still have them illegally. In Europe, they're outlawed everywhere. They have very strict gun control in Italy. Yet the Pope was shot. They have very strict gun control in Germany. Yet you see pimps shooting one another."
