Rep. Diana DeGette of Colorado has introduced H.R.1922. A few years ago, domestic manufacture of large capacity magazines was banned.

KABA NOTE: This bill already has 25 cosponsors. CONTACT YOUR U.S. REPS to OPPOSE this bill! Also, CONTACT THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEMBERS to oppose this bill!

Then why is he trying to ban more high-cap magazines that are currently legal?

Sportsmen have been disarmed but gun crimes still increaseBy Mike Yardley Five years after Thomas Hamilton killed 16 children and their teacher at Dunblane, a ban on hand guns has done nothing to halt the rise in firearms, says Mike Yardley AFTER one man went on the rampage at Dunblane five years ago today, anti-gun campaigners persuaded the government that a ban on sporting handguns would make the public safer. They whipped up such a frenzy that logical debate was impossible. The ban was enacted, the sport of pistol-shooting was destroyed, many small businesses were ruined and the British taxpayer ...

I've spent the last half hour calling my democratic senators, my democratic representative in the house, and my local state democratic committee. I let it be know that if William Daley and the Gore campaign pursue a lawsuit to overturn official results of the election, I will never, EVER support a democratic candidate ever again due to the nature of their revulsive conduct. In fact, I will volunteer my time, my money to every republican candidate I can in order to prevent democrats from holding office. The democrats need to be held accountable for their utter disrespect for the rule ...

If you post an article having to do with gore's lackluster rallies, liberal journalists whining about how gore can't get a break from the 'pro bush biased' press,or how nader's going to ruin the country, please post a link to that article here! ...
