The tragedy is that you're so fixated on the bullet box that you cede the other boxes to the anti-liberty forces.
Bingo! I like the sig.

SIOP said:Here's a few things the Republicans have done in recent years: Reagan lobbied for passage of the assault weapons ban and the Brady Bill before Congress
He also banned new machinegun manufacture for civilians.
Bush I implemented the ban in imports of "non-sporting" firearms. Bush II stated that he would sign an assault weapons ban, he also expanded his daddy's ban to also include imported barrels and such.
Republicans also banned "cop-killer" bullets and are pushing to close the so-called "gun show loophole".
The Republicans aren't really any better than the Democrats, the only real difference is that the Democrats let everyone know where they stand, while the Republicans talk the talk but screw us behind our backs.
Spare me the "You wasted your vote" line of crap, too.
I really love to vote for the party of people who would deny my daughter an abortion after she's raped by one of the illegal immigrants they allow into the country for the benefit of their corporate donors. I love to vote for the party that established "affirmative action" for the rich by reducing their taxes to historic lows so that we in the middle class can make up the difference. I love to vote for the party that lets polluters write environmental law so people like my neighbors in Cheatham county, Tennessee can get cancer from drinking their well water. I really love to vote for the party that sent my 54 year neighbor (Grandfather of 7) to Iraq
with his National guard unit so he could die for God knows what. I really love to vote for the party that has bankrupted our country and left the bill for my Grandchildren. I really love to vote for the party that steals elections, ignores the law, and tramples the constitution. I love to vote for the party that lets my job be outsourced abroad then allows the company that did it to avoid taxes by relocating its "headquarters" to Bermuda.
I'm conservative, but I'm not stupid and neither are a lot of the other real conservatives--fiscal conservatives, people who believe in the rule of law and the sanctity of the constitution. There's nothing conservative about the bunch running the country now. To the contrary, fiscally speaking they are the most rabid radicals we've ever seen...like drunken teenagers with Daddy's credit card.
I think anything that keeps someone from voting Democrat is a good thing.
After he left office and after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's as well.

The poison pill amendment that a Democrat controlled House committee attached to the 1986 FOPA is well known here and the reasons the bill was signed despite that are also well documented. A quick search on "1986 FOPA" here will show we gained a lot more than we lost with that bill - though it still puzzles me why people blame Reagan for the poison pill amendment that Democrats attached to the bill.

Actually the ban on imported barrels and such was put in place during the Clinton Administration - it was the Bush Administration who opened up the exception for "repair or replacement parts" until that exception was closed by a legal opinion that it was at odds with law Congress had passed.

I didn't realize the John McCain represented the entire Republican party these days. If the Republicans are "pushing" this bill as you claim, then how is it we don't have any bill like that despite a Republican House, Republican Senate and Republican White House?
SIOP said:Doesn't matter who added the provision or what you think we might have gained in the process, the fact is he did it.
And again, your grasp of history is shaky.
The first importation ban occurred in 1989. Last time I checked my history books, Bush the first was the president in 1989. And the fact that a later legal opinion might have closed Bush the second's actions don't change the fact that he imposed them in the first place, now does it?
I didn't say McCain represented the entire Republican party. The fact of the matter is that he is pushing it, and he is a Republican.
We got the best stock market in history and
all economic classes prospered.
The rich control the government these days.
At the time of the first Presidential election in 1789, only 6 percent of the population–white, male property owners–was eligible to vote. The Fifteenth Amendment extended the right to vote to former male slaves in 1870; American Indians gained the vote under a law passed by Congress in 1924; and women gained the vote with the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920.
If you seek out some credible sources you'll learn that Gore won Florida in 2000...no doubt.
John Edwards says we need to do "whatever it takes" to secure our borders and crackdown on Employers who hire illegals.
So, you're more concerned about being able to pay $3 instead of $5 for a T-shirt at Walmart than me being able to feed my family? Nice guy.
If there were no jobs and I had to knock you over the head and steal all your stuff so be it.
Fascism is where the producers control the government
