During the bombings of the summer of 1963, her father and other neighborhood men guarded the streets at night to keep white vigilantes at bay. Rice said her staunch defense of gun rights comes from those days. She has argued that if the guns her father and neighbors carried had been registered, they could have been confiscated by the authorities, leaving the black community defenseless.
Rebar said:As Secretary of State, she'll have no impact on the issue either way.
Honestly, I have a feeling that Cheney is going to resign in a couple years, if things are going well for Bush's 2nd term, and Condi will replace him, so that she will be in a good position for '08.
GrayBear said:She has a "handy for us" attitude when the UN's global gun-grab is presented within the next two years.
A point: I'm starting a small campaign to see her referred to as Dr. Rice. How many references to "Hank" Kissinger have you ever read in the liberal press or heard on the TV News?
For a person who has earned a PhD and is going to be Secretary of State, using a cute nickname seems something of a put-down.
JMHO,

http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- IN A PLEASANTLY meandering conversation over lunch in San Francisco last summer, Condoleezza Rice, then still provost of Stanford but already unofficially what she now is officially, George W. Bush's senior foreign policy adviser, was asked her thoughts about gun control. "I am," she answered crisply, "a Second Amendment absolutist." Growing up in Birmingham, Ala., in the early 1960s, when racial tensions rose, there were, she said, occasions when the black community had to exercise its right to bear arms in self-defense, becoming, if you will, a well-regulated militia.
