I don't know if there really is a "backdoor gun registration scheme" in the bill's language. I'm reluctant to take Craig's word for it when I know there are other equally strong pro-2nd Amendment Republicans in the senate who don't agree with Craig on this.

You are forgetting the GOA.

Good grief are you stuck in your own head.

End of story. I'm not going to change my mind just because you and Carry have a different opinion.

This isn't a matter of opinion. Unless you can post facts to the contrary, I'll take the word of the GOA. Their record in defense of the Second Amendment is unbroken.

Larry Craig is just KICKING BUTT on Rush's show. Thank you Sen. Craig. And Thanks to Rush for allowing him time to explain this.

Good grief are you stuck in your own head.

As are you, Carry, as are you. That's what having a strong point of view is all about.

Just so you get it plain and simple:

First, I revere the Constitution -- 100% of it, including the 2nd Amendment, but also including provisions that give the President broad powers to protect and defend this country.

Second, I do not support any language, in any bill, that attempts to weaken or subvert the 2nd Amendment.

Third, to me the Patriot Act is extremely necessary in a post 9/11 world. I believe it is now dead thanks largely to the Left, but also to Craig, Sununu, Murkowski and that POS Hagel.

Lastly, Craig was on the Rush show a short while ago. I didn't get to hear everything he said, but most of it. Perhaps he spoke of the 2nd Amendment in the segment I didn't catch, but in the segments I did hear, Craig spoke only of civil liberties issues that concern him. He sounded sincere, but I couldn't help wonder where his 2nd Amendment argument was given the big deal you've been making about it.
