Thanks for sharing that message. Lately, when it comes to the NRA, as Truman said, "... you'll have to say I'm from Missouri - you have to show me."

Also see post 77 above. The key is fighting to keep any bill from reaching the President's desk.

I read that and I didn't want to believe it. Then I realized that I was doing a disservice to myself in being in such denial.

When the CCW law was proposed in Texas, Gov. Richards said she wouldn't sign it even with if the voters wanted it by referendum. Bush said he would sign it if it passed by referendum. So Bush scored some high marks by bowing to the will of the People. He didn't sign it because he was Pro-gun.

That lead to discussions in our household between by son and I. I said that "As a Good Polititian" Bush bowed to the Will of the People. My son called him a coward because he didn't stand up for what's right.

This is going to be a landmark for the Bush's Presidency. Will he act as a "smart" politician or defend the written law in the Bill of Rights?

Liberty Forum I think.....home to many a disgruntled or banned FReeper. The site gets panned a lot because they don't delete "offensive" stuff....so I hear.

Indeed, it's LibertyForum.org, and it's now open to the general public.

The owner of the site, John Deere, believes that in a free marketplace of ideas, things will sort themselves out without the need for admins and moderators censoring and deleting peoples' posts. While this DOES result in a lot of silliness being posted, it also results in grown ups being able to freely discuss anything under the sun without fear of reprisal.

Works for me :)

I'll ask you too. What the heck is LF? Some other chatroom?

See my post above.

This Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 needs to go. It is absolutely rediculous.

I have a magazine extension that adds a one round extra capacity to a glock magazine. If I put this on my ten round magazine that makes the capacity eleven rounds, I have just committed a felony. It is a felony to modify a firearm magazine to hold merely one more round than a ten round magazine! What exactly makes the 11th round so evil that I could go to prison for it?! Answer: FEDERAL REGULATIONS of the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994. Of course the police can have magazines that hold eleven rounds or more because we know that no cop is a bad cop.

You can bet I will be writing Senators and George Bush about this one. I will not vote for George Bush or anyone who votes to renew this totalitarian ban on firearms.

Thats not really a fair comparison. Schumer had part of his teck removed...

[gnarledmaw]

You will not write a letter to your Congressman...soccer moms will.
The NRA launches a campaign to educate everyone on the right to hunt ducks, and how an icky "AW" isnt needed for that.
The law will be renewed in 2004.
The President will sign it.
You will vote for the Republican candidate anyway.
