A lot of hunters happen to belong to unions. They have been taught to fear the GOP by their union masters.

[What Is Ain't]

MY QUESTION....How can any gun owner support the Democrat party?

[Senator_Blutarski]

The plot line is simple: If they Federalize hunting regulations they can use "hunter safety issues" to enact national gun control regulations. With the help of Senators from places like New York and California they can then whip states like Wyoming and Texas into line.

We need to stop this fast!

[solo gringo]

How can anyone trust a democrap on anything?

[WFTR]

At least we have a Republican President that has actually been out in the field hunting and he can veto any such stupid legislation if it every happens to pass!

I like President Bush, but I don't see him having the courage to veto anything that comes from Congress.

Remember two things

1.)The purpose of the 2nd amendment has nothing to do with hunting and sport shooting. It's about the ultimate veto power of the soverign people

2.)Most of us are already armed

[Lancey Howard]

How can any hunter support the Democrat party?

How could any taxpayer support the Democrat Party?
How could any (real) Catholic support the Democrat Party?
How could anybody who is not an "oppressed minority victim", not a hairy, screeching feminist, not an illiterate welfare mother who has babies like flies, who is not a parasite..... support the Democrat Party?

How could anyone who is not a scumbag support the Democrat Party?

There is no explanation. Many, many people are incapable of linear thought.

I saw a bumper sticker on a pick up here in St. Louis that said "Sportsmen for Carnahan"...I almost drove off the road, I was laughing so hard.

He ought to have a "I'm a moron" on his bumper.
