#1 Problem for MoveOn is the Bush has PUBLICLY said that if the ban is renewed, he will sign it.

Pissed off a lot of Gun Owners of America members.

#2 Heavens, you mean MoveOn forgot to include that in their ad?

#3 What's amusing is that it's legal to own the fully automatic versions of alot of these 'banned' weapons. Gun control is the Left's way of turning citizens into serfs.

#4 Now repeat after me:

SUVs and guns don't kill people; people kill people.

So, passing laws to prohibit second amendment rights only affects law abiding citizens.

#5 Actually, OldSpook, I'm afraid that that WILL backfire on us, because one of these days a AWB may (probably?) will be passed and then the president would be forced to sign or break his promise, and I'd rather see him do the latter ...

#6 Bush is an idiot on guns. So what? He's an idiot on most things. We like him for the WoT, so we hold our nose and vote for him *despite* things like the AWB, runaway spending and No Child Left Behind.

As for the Anti-Gun crowd, they'll have a lot of explaining to do next week when the world doesn't end. Me? I'll be waiting in a long line to buy an MP5...

#8 "ABCâs research on this story was either incredibly poor or deliberately distorted,"....
Is Dan Rather consulting to ABC now?

#9 Um what makes anyone think that a real patriot obeys laws that are patent violations of the Bill of Rights? Show me where the Bill of Rights allows congress to regulate common firearms. Thats right you can't. The AWB is illegal no matter what SCOUTUS says. The millions of citizens that have built their own "assult weapon" from parts is not reported. ~~Hand Gun Control Inc~~ The Brady Campaign are so discredited they did change their name. Teddy Kenedy has killed more people than any gun I own ever has, Yes even the "assult weapons."

#10 President Bush is anything but an "idiot" on guns, passing the Concealed Carry law in Texas as Governor.
He's not gonna let the AWB expire only to sign another one.
As far was I'm concerned, armed citizens are our front line of defense against a terrorist attack here at home and I'm sure the President thinks so, too.
And I like just about everything the President's doing, not just aggressively pursuing the WOT; that's why I can't wait to vote for him again--for the fourth time (2x for Gov, 2x for Prez).
