GWB's administration is the first to come out and take the un-equivocal position the Second Amendment protect the the right of the individual to Keep And Bear Arms. Thereby ensuring that the measures taken to fight terrorism will be kept in check in the way intended by the founders.
I would also like to add that in times of war, the federal government has always assumed additional powers, only to return them to the people when the war is over.
And before you slam Bush's budget compromises, go take a look at the one's Reagan made with the Dems. And remember that, just as they did then, the Dems are failing to live up to the agreements they made in the compromise.
How soon we forget.
So... when does this war end? And how soon can we expect our powers returned to us?

No declaration of war. Where is bin Laden?. Care to extrapolate with any examples of "only to return them to the people when the war is over.". We've already been told that this war will go on for a long time.
Look's like you've swallowed the hook, line and sinker.

What kind of drugs are you on?. Reagan's "compromise" was the largest increase in federal spending every recorded, subsequently increasing the deficit by something on the order of 400%.
You need a reality check.
