Most Leftists never put ALL the facts together. They will take a small quote by someone and try to build a philosophy on it. They will take an isolated incident and make it a plague. They sleep through history class yet they think they are experts. So it wouldn't surprise me if the Left's position on this is structured by Hollywood.

They will throw out the Bank of America robbery as evidence. "This is happening" when it only happened once in a huge freak event that never happened before and will probably never happen again.
Hmmm maybe Bonnie and Clyde pulled some similar crap, but still... it was a freak occurance.

We should not let up on this issue. Keep writing/calling your congress people. This law must die, but if we let up, the politics of the situation will be too much for the RINOs to bear, and they will cave.
Today I mailed letters to all 3 congressmen, the President, and Bill Frist and Tom DeLay on this issue. You should too. Forget about e-mails--they are worthless. Mail or call.

Delay sees end to AWB
Well, well, well.

Is it possible the RTKBA is returning to America? Not that it would help us behind the sushi curtain, but I would be happy for the rest of the country. Good luck ladies and gentlemen.

Why on Earth did the president support reauthorization anyway? Doesn't he know that Midwest gunowners(many of whom are slightly left leaning union members) played a major role in winning him the White House? What is he thinking? Does he really believe that that stupid law prevents crime?

My emails get me a detailed letter in reply on congressional stationary, when I call the person on the other end types it into an E-mail as I am speaking.
Snail mail is seldom opened anymore due to the anthrax scare.
Call and E-mail.

It's just politics. I believe he said if it gets to him (wink-wink), he would sign it.

The president's stance has always been (since April 2000) that he will not personnally promote the legislation in order to get it to his desk, but once there he will sign it.
Frankly its a little late to be mad, since he is just following through with his previous campaign promises. Those midwesterners voted for him on those terms in 2000.

This helps brighten my day. I guess I should start saving right now to go out and buy me some normal capacity mags for my Glock 19 when the ban expires. I might even be inclined to get a new gun, just so I will have one that holds more than 10 rounds, hmmm... a new SIG Sauer, or Beretta sounds good.

Yeah, too late to be mad I suppose. But I am mad. I feel betrayed.
I wanted to like him, and I think he's basically a decent guy, but
if he signs a reauthorization I will go fishing on election day. I don't care if he saves the world. I don't care if he runs against Hillary herself. His first duty is to protect our freedom here at home.

citing an article in the Washington Post, the GOP has decided to let the assault weapons bill expire. They will probably stick by this unless we have another episode of idiot mass murder such as happened last year. Maybe even then as the useless pos'es could have done their dirty work with a single shot.

If this ban sunsets, I'm likely to become a very poor man.
Hello? Bushmaster? How much is that folding stock AR with 100 round drum magazine?

Tom Delay "The House will not extend the ban"
A bit of good news in an otherwise anti-gun world. http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/05/13/congress.guns.reut/
My fear is that once the ban sunsets all the grassroots activists will go out, get drunk, celebrate, buy a few high cap magazines and then go home.
This wave of activism must continue, we have a lot more laws to repeal that don't have a sunset clause in them!

Tom Delay is the man who makes things happen, or not happen in the House. If he says he sees an end I am inclined to believe it.

val, no, mags will be more expensive initially (pent up demand, concurrent with increased firearm purchases). However, new ones will again be made.
Buy your mags now, and work like the devil to kill this horrid thing.

Now lets not go fishin' on election day! God knows the second amendment will be in serious trouble if the likes of Hitlery gets into the White House.

I sincerely hope that the AWB sunsets. However, living in the PRK, I don't think it will make much difference. We still have a mirror to that law hanging over our heads

I saw Wayne LaPierre on Fox the other night and he said the bill would never reach Bush's desk. I'm guessing he got a heads up from Delay because he was more confident sounding than I have heard him in a long time.
Keep on writting. Keep the pressure on the Congress and President. E mail and Call often. September is a long way off in political terms. Then pray the Democrats don't retake the House in 04. If they do this POS will be back with a vengeance. It will look like the California bill which is much stronger than the current federal bill.

Good Lord people! Even if W. signs the continuation of the AWB you have to still vote for him! If al-Gore ended up as President then we would be limited to buy .22 shorts in packages of 10 rounds once a month. No matter what we must get W. re-elected. Let's live to fight another day!
