If a campaigning liberal democrat promised to let the AWB sunset I would interpret his words as empty pandering.

Pro-gun and pro-UN are mutually exclusive.
If the democrats became pro-gun and the republicans became anti-gun I would vote democratic. |

There are several issues I feel strongly about. The republican party doesen't share my feelings on all of them. But as the saying goes, The Second Amendment makes all the others possible.

I am one issue in as much as I see the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as one issue.

I would trade getting rid of all the gun laws for legalization of drugas and slightly higher taxes.
Oh and they can abort all the little democraps they want also. |

Does anyone else see the danger in this logic? The only danger I see is the complete lack of logic in your hypothetical. |

In 2000, Howard Dean was given an "A" rating by the NRA. No way in hell could I vote for him...

[^] One Amendment, does NO good, if it's not used to enforce the Whole agreement, (contract), between the People, and the govt... Funny thing is, the 2nd, is prolly the LEAST violated, of all of them!!! [ROFL] |

Why is it on the AWB, so many people seem to contradict themselves regarding the impact of the legislation.
On one hand, we say that it is meaningless because it only effects the cosmentic features of the rifle. This is evidenced by the number of post-ban rifles that perform exactly as the pre-ban rifles do. THe only difference is the absence of bayonet lugs and collapsible stocks. On the other hand, so many people are willing to throw an election away because of the inability to acquire new weapons with mere cosmetic features saying that it is a huge infringement on our Constitutional freedoms. I want to see the AWB die as much as the next person but I am not going to roll out the red carpet for Howard Dean for it. |

You're wasting your time with this sydney. This argument has occurred many times here. Logic does not apply. Many would rather see a democrap take away our rights "faster" so we can get this all over with and have a revolution and things will go back to being like the garden of eden, before politicians got involved -- just like in the movies.

You are SOOOOO enlightened, aren't you? Yeah, us knee-jerk, narrow minded, stupid hicks might ruin it for everybody. No, WE have a PRINCIPLED stand, not one of slowly pissing ourselves down the tubes. I'm not a big "revolution" guy myself, but I'll be damned if I'll cast a vote for ANYONE who has a hand in the AWB renewal. All those politicians (Bush included) can say all they want, it's their actions that count. If a renewal never gets to his desk I'll vote for him in a heartbeat. But if one does and he signs it, well HELL NO!!!! |

But if one does and he signs it, well HELL NO!!!! Why would you vote for him if it never reaches his desk? This is a president who has stated that he supports the ban. What happens if the Democrats gain seats in the House and/or Senate and two years from now it gets to his desk? Then he would certainly sign it. If you are making your stand on principles, why would you vote for a man who supports the ban whether it reaches his desk or not? Sounds pretty hypocritical to me |
