A bit of a rant by the author, but one point comes through....

If the assult weapons ban is not allowed to sunset....

There will be alot more disgruntled gopers

The problem is that both major parties want gun control to continue - the demos want a total ban and the Repubos only want to maintain the staus quo. That's what led to Angel's rant. I don't completely agree with the whole article, but the one thing that really sticks in my craw is the Bush administration's position on the AW sunset. Its not, however, that Bush was dishonest about that. His campaign website said he was in favor of the AW ban.

I am hopeful that we (fervent RKBA advocates, Shamaya included) can lean on Bush enough to have him change his mind. There is plenty of ammo published about the worthlessness of the 1994 federal AW ban, some of published by the US (Clinton Administration!) DOJ itself which commissioned an independent study in 1996 or so, which concluded that the ban had absolutely NO positive effect on gun crime/gun violence.

Bush's action (assuming he's re-elected)on the sunset of the AW ban (due in 2004)will tell the tale about the Repubos and gun control.
