Bush/Ashcroft have made it quite clear that the RTKABA is an INDIVIDUAL right.
Find me another administration who has taken that position.
Cut that sentence short,didn't you? It SHOULD have said "...an INDIVIDUAL right SUBJECT TO "REASONABLE RESTRICTIONS" PLACED ON IT BY THE GOVERNEMENT."
There just ain't no way around it,Bubba-2 IS his fathers's son,a statist,gun-grabbing SOB.
If you bothered to read the position of the RINO Bush gun rights position espoused by Ted Olson, you would know that the position of this administration is that the Second Amendment is a right, so long as the federal government can impose "reasonable restrictions" on it. Who defines reasonable? Why, whatever federal government is in power at the time. If Bush really supported the Second Amendment, pilots would be armed in the cockpits today. If Bush really supported the Second Amendment, he would refuse to sign the renewal for the Assault Weapon ban... something he has yet to sign, of course, but a law which he has promised to renew when it crosses his desk.
The Bush support of the Second Amendment is riddled with loopholes and excuses to impose more government control. But I see the water temperature is being raised to the boiling point comfortably enough for you.
When the government doesn't have enough criminals, it makes them. The people who think that all felonies are created equal are ignorant. Felonies can be created at the stroke of a pen, heedless of their intent, societal harm, or rational. Anyone who believes that they are in compliance with every law on the federal books is nuts. Hell, I had a boat sink once and the Coast Guard was there, ready to charge me with felony pollution from gasoline leaking into the water.
Those of you who think all felons should lose all rights in this day and age of federal tyranny are nuts.
