Golly, folks. A bunch of you are being ridiculous. The assault weapon ban defined assault weapons as "guns having one or more of the following characteristics:" which, if I remember correctly, were bayonet, flash suppressor, etc. etc. Extending this bill does NOTHING. If you are going to turn on Bush for this, you are fools. I, too, am a NRA member, and I assure you that most of us have more sense then to get too excited over this. Bush has been very good to gun owners and second amendment watchdogs, and you better not forget it.

Sorry Timmy,

If this law banned not a single firearm, it would still be a bad law. Any law that puts the blame on the weapon and not on the user is a bad law.

Golly, Timmy. (And gee-whiz and golly jeepers to boot!). For being an NRA member, you sure know surprisingly nothing about the so-called Assault Weapons' Ban. Time for you to go to school

"The assault weapon ban defined assault weapons as "guns having one or more of the following characteristics:" which, if I remember correctly, were bayonet, flash suppressor, etc. etc. Extending this bill does NOTHING."

Aside from your errors and ignorance of the law, ask yourself why essentially every military (and many SWAT) rifle has the very features you are delighted to let be banned.

[Travis McGee]

We have seen your type before. You will be happy when the government "lets" you keep a shotgun and a bolt action rifle.

Then they will ban "sniper rifles" (scopes) and you will be fine with that. Who needs to shoot Bambi 500 yards away, right?

Then your "assault shotgun" will go. But you don't own one anyway, so you won't care.

WHAT! You dang well know that this bill shot the prices through the roof for firearms. It also set the stage for lawsuits and other legislation.

[Mini-14]

The so-called "Assault Weapons" ban bans the manufacture of normal capacity magazines.

I agree.

He's slashed funding for the BATF, reassigned prosecutors whos sole job was prosecuting 'gun crimes', busted through the bureacracy so that pilots could be armed after 9/11, and stated the 2nd amendment was an individial Right not subject to restriction by the federal gov't.

Can you imagine if Gore had won the election? He'd have done the exact opposite.

BS.

1. It'll help the dems more than anything in swing states. Bush needs Michigan, Ohio, Penn, Tennesee, Missouri, Arkansas, New Hampshire, and Florida. Angry gun owners will sit home, or vote out of spite.

2. A new bill has to pass. The gun grabbers will want to add more guns to fit the so called 'assault weapons' definaion. Look at Illinois right now. They want to ban all semi-autos and all guns over .50 cal. That's your shotgun.

3. It's a lack of loyalty. Gun Owners worked overtime to help W. If W stabs them in the back, even symbolicly, it opens the door to dems, especially one like Howard Dean who is at least a gun moderate.

Bush has been very good to gun owners and second amendment watchdogs, and you better not forget it.

Bush has done well on symbolic things and did well on giving the UN the finger, but he also signed McCain Feingold and the unPatriot Act.
