Obviously we need the House to kill this, but let's keep things in perspective and not give the gun grabbers a far bigger victory.

Posted in another thread:

Also, there's a whole lot of gun owners who will stay home in November if this thing passes.

And my response:

Brilliant. If you don't get 101% of what you want, just pout, stay home, and allow the party that is trying its best to not only eliminate conceal carry but bankrupt gun manufacturers, ban all guns, and confiscate ASAP to take control of the executive branch (executive orders, federal prosecutors, ATF) and further pollute the judiciary (who'd love to completely reinterprete the RKBA.)

Brilliant strategy, just quit and give the Dems a win so they can get 9 steps closer to turning us into Great Britian. Don't yabber on about both parties being the same, that's copout quitter bullcrap. Sure there are some idiot defections and votes(primary battles and donation withholdings are definitely in order), but by and large the GOP does fight for gun rights. Plus get a clue on perspective. Extension of the AWB is disgusting, but it isn't the end of the world. Worth fighting, but not worth self-destructing and allowing far more onerous restrictions and the political mechanisms for such to get enacted because one decided to throw a temper tantrum. Threatening to destroy what it is they claim to defend just because a few battles were lost. Drama queens ignoring perspective.

I'm getting the feelin' he'd be happy to return to Crawford. I think he enjoyed his term, and wouldn't really mind moving on.

I believe the Prez said he'd only sign a clean bill the other day, so I'll take him at his word. Otoh, he has also maintained for a long time now that he'd sign the AWB renewal if it reached his desk. .....so it should be interesting.

GW ....if ya sign this POS...............Bye Bye in November ! Agreed.

I don't buy the "Vote for Bush and keep the Democrats from ruining our country" bullshit. The Republicans are doing a fine job of aiding and abetting the Dems, as witnessed by their votes on this bill.

Remember, Bush even said he's sign the bill if it landed on his desk. Looks like his party's sending it that way.

Are we "Giving the gun grabbers more victories" by not voting? The way I see it, we are only encouraging more of the same atrocities by the Republicans and the President if we reward them with our votes. Most people will simply not vote if Bush signs the ban, but I'll do one better:

I'll vote for Kerry. He won't get anything done with a Republican majority in Congress. Gridlock's really not a bad thing.

You may be right on Bush being gone in November.
I just wish all these single point voters would think about what they will get instead of Bush.
I don't relish the idea of 4 years (or 8) of a Demo President.

Believe it or not you speak for a very small minority of whacked out extremists. Your vote means nothing! Bye!

I for one will vote for Kerry or not vote at all if W signs an AWB. I would rather have one of them screwing us than one of our own. At least the Republicans would stand up to Kerry against something this stupid. I am so Pi$$ed about this. I emailed the Bush-Cheney campaign and asked for clarification about Bush's stance on the AWB. I have yet to get a response so they have yet to get my money.
