Yet, he signed shall issue CCW legislation as Governor of Texas.

Instead of getting State legislation re-iterating the US Constitutions stance on the Second Amendment, which would have in turn "given" us Alaska style CCW.

This did not bode well for his understanding of what a Constitution is, nor what it is supposed to do. He has proven since gaining the Oval Office to only having a passing aquaintance with the very document that gives him the pwoer he now has.

No reason to expect hims to change his stripes now either...

I really think that there are very, very few elected politicians, both from the RAT and the Repubo parties, that truthfully support the RKBA. The last guy in any level of authority in the political realm that I remember that actually said he is fore square behind the individual right to keep and bear was Ashcroft; and he could take this view because as AG he was not involved in actual lawmaking.

If there was a consensus among a large majority of the electorate that it was O.K. to ban and confiscate guns, then it would have already been put in motion, much like it was in Australia. The Constitution has already been rendered a moot document by the actions of politicians over the last 200 years. The only thing standing in the way of the end of the RKBA is 4 or 5 million rabid RKBA advocates who use their mouths and their money to buy enough of the whores in Congress (and in the many state legislatures) to assure its continuity at least for the near future.
