I'm confused: is Bob Barr a flaming liberal?

I'm gonna keep this short and sweet since the mods are ready to pounce. I don't live in fear of terrorists or of Bush's actions. I have great dred in knowing that millions of people have no clue that there are those that will do WHATEVER it takes to wipe this country out and direct their anger at the one man who is doing his best to protect us instead of working together to defeat our common enemy. BTW Bush said he'd sign the AWB to keep the soccer moms happy knowing full well the Republican congress would not allow it to reach his desk, this is the way politics works. I'm sorry but fellow gun owners who believe that most gun control laws will be overturned and that machineguns will become more accessible are unfortunately dreaming. Not in the modern United States which is becoming increasingly controlled by the female voters and other certain demographic votes. Gun owners should be glad that the Republicans have at least held the line for the time being.

No disrespect meant, Art, but I think the AWB issue came up in response to Barr's statement that Bush was no friend of the NRA. Personally I think Barr overstated this a bit, but he did make it part of this discussion. The stuff about campaign finance reform might stray a bit further from the original post, but it still deals with Bush's attitude towards the Constitution, which is what Barr was talking about.

Again, no disrespect meant. I appreciate the work you and the other moderators do on this list.

I think the AWB issue came up in response to Barr's statement that Bush was no friend of the NRA.

But Barr didn't say that... if you read the actual quoted text Barr just said "that it is more difficult dealing with this administration than it was dealing with the prior administration" regarding regulatory matters. It was the author of the article who claimed that Bush was no friend of the NRA.

Correct. My sloppy attention to detail, I'm afraid. But my point still stands.

What I read of Barr's opinion impresses me much more than the interviews he used to give while in Congress. I can't comment about his information he has about dealing with the F-troop under Bush, but, other than that, I agree with his sentiments.
