Even if this petition doesn't cause him to change his mind he will still have to defend it some way, which could help us because he would pretty much be forced to lie or show that he knows nothing to defend banning the import of garands when there are plenty of hunting rifles that can do the same thing (such as the Remington 750 except it holds 5 shots instead of 8 and has the advantage of being shorter, lighter, being able to shoot a wider variety of ammo, and can mount a scope). Remember, every politician that spews ******** gives us more of a chance of discrediting that person to anyone on the fence who will listen, the same thing has happened with marijuana, even to the extent of converting people who were for keeping it illegal.
