They could have passed a draconian ban on guns, and overridden his veto.

So instead of standing for his beliefs, he politicized and compromised away the very rights he swore to uphold?

How will it be any different at the fed level ???

McCain can’t beat Hillary. Romney can. I swear, FR in its current state wouldn’t support Governor Reagan in his bid for the White House.

I think either man can beat Hillary, if the GOP grassroots grows up and recoginizes that we are either going to have a GOP president from one of these guys or we are going to have Hillary.

That is the stark reality we are facing and we need to start dealing with it.

Why did the NRA support Romney, and donate money to his campaign?

" [...] I also recognize that some types of extreme weapons, those which were not meant for hunting, sport, or self-defense, have no business being on the streets. " -Romney

Bleah. No thanks. The Pubbies can keep their RINOs. How the hell do they figger He's going to play in the South and the West as a Pro-Choice, Anti-2A candidate?

Sheesh!

Yes. McCain is a lying, two-faced, RINO, POS. And yes, you can “buggar off”.

I doubt the grassroots will ever grow up, as you best put it. Some people enjoy all the whining, or at least that’s what it seems.

You do know that as President Mitt would sign every piece of excrement anti-gun bill that made it to his desk, don’t you?

In that case, we're no worse off than since at least 1/20/89. No better, either, but certainly no worse.

We're going to have to do what we've done for the last 20 years (or more, since that stuff happened for many decades before Reagan), which is to hold our Congress' feet to the fire and their necks to the rope (political rope, not the real thing Mr. Secret Service or FBI Man). IOW, exercise our obligations as citizens to protect ourselves at the least harmful and costly level. This means being active citizens, period.

Perhaps this won't even be an issue anymore, depending on how the Supreme Court rules this Spring. Time will tell.

I'm no Romney cheerleader, and articles like this are why. However, I find him to be the least objectionable of all the candidates remaining in the Republican side...ALL of whom are better than ALL the Dem candidates. I don't like it, but that's our predicament right now. Barring a brokered convention that nominates Fred Thompson or someone like him (and I'm not holding my breath waiting for that), that is reality on Planet Earth.

The NRA is not what it once was. I will trust the GOA.

Did they only donate to Romney, or to all of the the GOP candiates?

It was a bill worked out, by the way, between pro-gun lobby and anti-gun lobby individuals.

Is anyone else bothered by what that sentence implies?
And, more importantly, how it looks in light of Romney's feigned indignance last week when a reporter had the temerity to claim Romney had lobbyists running his campaign.

I’ve said my piece. It’s just a prediction, and if things go well, we’ll see if it’s true in a few months.

Straight-up budget deficit that he inhereted. For what it’s worth, the tax cuts he delivered later probably more than made up for it for anyone who had to pay the fee. It’s $100 for six years rather than $25 for 4.

The same part that 99.99% of the people in the country, including all of our elected officials, don’t understand, according to you — all those who are not looking to repeal every gun law ever passed that restrict access to weapons.

I’m sorry, I don’t understand your point. I’m not a Mormon and I would rather spend an evening that way, too.
