Ah, another thread the B____ & Moan wing of the party will choose to ignore.
Don't Diddle on my neck and tell me its raining;-). Where in the Second Amendment does it say that restriction of certain types of firearms particularly suited to criminal misuse is ok? This is a priori banning of guns for political correctness, exactly what the gun grabbers have been advocating for years.
"Restrict assault rifles because they are the favorite of criminals"...never mind they aren't. In fact, the favorite gun of criminals continues to be handguns. So you Bushbots think that its ok the Bush administration would be open to banning certain guns based on their design characteristics rather than the criminal misuse of guns...Sheesh. Of course, you realize where this is heading...Bush will support and sign the Assault Weapon Ban renewal using this "logic" of gun grabbers everywhere.
Unfit persons...who exactly decides that, and what does it mean? Under current ex post facto law, if you have ever been convicted of certain assault cases, even threatened or alleged assault, you cannot own a gun. What other classes of unfit people do you think a well-organized federal bureaucracy can come up with to eliminate your right to own a firearm with no due process or criminal convictions whatsoever?
Don't forget, Bush administration does not support the right of airline pilots to bear arms...they are unfit, apparently, to be allowed to carry in the cockpit a gun particularly suited for criminal use.
This is Clintonesque wordsmithing at its best, courtesy of the "Compassionate conservative". Bush sold out the First Amendment already, also the Fourth with the "Patriot Act". Maybe he isn't going to eliminate the Bill of Rights in order, but he WILL sell out on the Second Amendment when the chips are down.
