We lost enough gun rights under Clinton. Which, if any, of those LOST RIGHTS have we regained under Bush? He ran as a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment....at least thats what the NRA and other gun organizations said. Well, does that just mean pro-gun in comparison to Clinton? If that is the case, then that's pretty sad. More Bush smoke and mirrors...just like his daddy.

His daddy, if you'll remember, issued an Executive Order (sound familiar?) that banned the importation of the wildly popular and very inexpensive Chinese 7.62x39 ammo as well as the importation of the extremely well made and extremely expensive HK PSG-1 semi-auto rifle...a "sniper rifle" but not one ever used in any crime. And, hell, my customized M1A is darn near as good....is that on a list somewhere? An amBUSH list?

I have been closely watching both Bush 41 and 43, ever alert for Constitutional conflicts just like those EO's. Now, I agree that the situation would be about 1000% WORSE with Gore as President! But if you "Talk the TALK...you'd BETTER walk the WALK!"

I am so sick of Republicans taking gun owners for granted because "they have nowhere else to go." Democrats learned that hard lesson and they are acting on it this time around. Bush had better remember that.

You can't own a cannon either. So what?

Republicans can take all issues for granted because voters believe they have nowhere else to go.

Short course in Politics 101.
First we get more pro-gun people in Congress and the Senate. Then we tell those pro-gun politicians to vote for pro-gun bills.
Then Bush signs those Bills.
Easy.

If we don't do this, we keep punching more holes in the lifeboat like this article is doing and we lose.
That's easy too.

I concur in part - the PSG-1 was banned from import by GHWB, as were many other semi-automatic firearms of military pattern. Care to guess who was clamoring for that ban? Along with the usual suspects, you can also include the domestic firearms manufacturers, who resented having to compete against the imported stuff.

Shiploads of SKS rifles and MAK-90s (post-ban legal AK), and countless rounds of 7.62x39mm ammunition still poured in from China, well after Bush the Elder left office. It was Clinton who banned those particular imports.

I'm not defending Bush 41, just placing blame where it belongs.

Not true. This type of gun was used by jackbooted thug and perjurer Lon Horiuchi to murder Vicki Weaver, and probably some Branch Davidians as well.
