Bullsh!t. You haven't watched the CCW Bills where 100% of the Republican Party voted for gun rights. Who introduced the AWB ban? A dem or Republican. Which party voted the most for it? The dems or the Republicans?
Yes, there are a few RINO's but they are also in states where conservatives can't get elected. Dole is from Kansas which doesn't even have a CCW law.
So don't tell me a bunch of crap when you mentioned a dem president can be a good thing.

I believe that you will find that the ONLY reason I said such a thing was to generate gridlock with both houses Republican. I believe that gridlock is a great thing.
I apologize if I led you to believe that I was positioning for a verbal battle. I thought we were in a discussion. There was a time when I defended the Republicans and the NRA with equal veracity. I then began to pay attention to what they did not what they said.
Much like one of the other posters I am very tired of simply selecting which I believe to be the lesser of the two evils. So far that has been the Republicans on a Federal level. At our state level we have many Dems who are both Pro-Life and Pro-2nd. I've not voted for them because of other issues but they were there.
Personally there are two issues that I have no compromise on. The first is abortion. ANY individual who believes that it is OK to grind up a child and suck them out of Mom with a Vacuum us simply unfit for any public office because they fail to understand the very essence of life.
The second is firearm ownership - there is simply no room for compromise.
And finally, I think that if you will investigate further (I can't speak for every instance, just my own (Alabama) and a few others that I did check into) I think that you will find that the NRA backed CCW bills either strengthened or started the Firearms Owner Identification Card - another compromise. Thats what we fought here in Alabama. The enemies of the Republic could care less which they register - the weapons or the owner.
As far as which party voted the most. Hang on, I'll see if I can get you some numbers. You may be surprised - and then again I may be.

I'll have to dig up the bill number for the 1994 Omnibus Crime bill from the stuff at home.
