Regan machine-gun ban

The way I see it, is our posterity will pay for our sins, if we continue to vote for the Repubs. If we don't vote or vote demos. we will get to fight.

In defense of Ron, the 86" Machine Gun ban was part of a greater bill that restored MANY firearm rights. He did NOT have a line item veto cpacity.

Bush Sr. remains an asshole.

Republicans are the lesser of two evils. But voting for third parties (ie. Libertarians) usually results in the in a win by the GREATER of two evils. Result, 8 years if Bill Clinton.

They ain't gonna save us but I vote Republican in presidential races and Libertarian in lesser races where they actually stand a chance.

The best thing each of us can do is support Libertarian candidates in your LOCAL races. These are the people who make the laws that MOSTLY effect YOU.

i think a point often lost in these kinds of discussions is that it is not the prezes who are solely responsible for the legislation that passes.  there's this group of people called the Senate and this group of people called Representatives that have a hell of a lot of control over these issues too.

you HAVE to look at the big picture.  some people can't seem to recognize the forest for the one big tree standing in their way.

If a Libertarian takes federal funding you can be sure about one thing: He isnt a Libertarian.

Libertarians dont believe in federal funding of *any* political point of view.  To use federal tax money to support a political party or candidate is to FORCE another to pay for a candidate or philisophy he or she may find abhorrible.

This is at the heart of Libertarianism.  It isnt acceptable to [red]initiate[/red] force against another human.

Republicans profit mightily from being not-Democrats.  It isn't that Republicans are pro-gun, it's that the Democrats (some real important high profile ones, anyway) are anti-gun.  I honestly believe that the Republicans don't really want you to keep your gun, it's simply that there are other aspects of their agenda that are more urgent for them right now than disarming you.  If you study the history of the US, whenever there were laws passed designed to disarm some group or prohibit some class of weapon, the Republicans were right in there as part and parcel of it.  Just now, it is very convenient for them to have you think of them as on your side.

I agree 100% with you on your point. The Republicans have had their share of hare brained ideas. Many of the Republicans have oher priorities, such as religion, abortion, taxes, workers comp. etc. Just voting for Republicans will not protect your 2nd Amend rights, because there a number of anti-gun Republicans. The gunners should watch them pretty closely. Here in Calif, the Republicans will change sides if it suits their political needs. Has anyone actually participated on the local grass-roots level of the Republican party? The is the level of involvement will keep those anti-gun Republicans in line and that will assure the future of our 2nd Amend rights in the USA.

I would like to add that the original 1989 AW ban in Calif. was signed by REPUBLICAN Gov. Geo. Duekmejian, an Armenian who has forgotten what the Turks did to the Armenians in 1919.

Are you sure? Those folks may lay low during the Bush Jr. administration for now; but if a person like Al Gore or Hillary Clinton came to power, you can bet that gun control will be on the front burner. The socialists can't control you 100% until they take away your means to resist them, even if it is symbolic. Those people has a long-term plan of 10-20 years, and they are relentless, whereas when the gunners win one, they go to sleep.

Agreed, but this is the best we can do. Humans are not infalliable. Until something better comes along, this will have to do.

Democracy requires the participation of all of the people. Just think, only one-half of the eligible people actually register to vote; out of that only one-half of them actually vote; and out of that only a few actually participates in politics, i.e. working on a political campaign, and even fewer actually run for an office.

I agree.

But the work against Sen. Bob  Smith was attributed to Sen. Lott in the press I have read. It is ostensibly about low polling numbers for Sen. Smith against a popular democRAT, and a Republican Senatorial challenger that appears stronger in the polls. The fate of the Senate may hang on this vote.

I have 2 cents about Sen. Lott: Lott is/was one of the most powerful men on the planet, yet he lost the majority to a friend. Yes Jeffords was a Lott personal friend. Lott several times released to the press he was waging war and calling for war against the democRATS. This "big hat, no cattle" behavior does not make sense. If one has power one wields that power, not talk about wielding power. If I did not know better I would say Lott was a beard, a front for another power. And I don't know better. At best I would say Lott has remarkably bad judgement for someone who has gained so much station and power.

2 cents.

Douglas Adams might well have been writing about US politics....

"On its world, the people are people.  The leaders are lizards.
The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."

"I did," said Ford.  "It is."

"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't  sounding ridiculously obtuse,
"why don't the people get rid of the  lizards?"

"It honestly doesn't occur to them,"  said Ford. "They've all got the vote,
 so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more
 or less approximates to the government they want."

"You mean they actually *vote* for the lizards?"

"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug,"of course."

"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"

"Because if they didn't vote for a  lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard
 might get in.  Got any gin?"

Don't vote.  Don't elect Republicans. Don't get off your ass, and guess what?
You now have Democratic domination, and if you don't see a difference between the two parties, then you are an idiot, and further discussion is useless.

Here is your choice:

A)
Static or lower taxes
Increased enforcement of laws
Static or reduced gun laws
Energy independence
Stronger military
Increased or Static property rights
Static or reduced social spending
Personnal freedom/responsibility

B)
Static or higher taxes
Reducted enforcement of laws (but 100,000 more cops)
Increased gun laws
Reduced energy production and consumption
Static or weaker military
Decrease in property rights
Increased social spending
Corporate regulation/liability

The majority of Republicans fall into category A.  Not all to be sure, such as the idiots running around New England.
The majority of Democrats fall into category B.  some Southern types may not apply.

Pick your poison carefully.  Your freedoms over the next 50 years depend on it.

Reagan did not ban machine guns, you can still buy them (in states that allow MG ownership).  Also, can't you make a new machine gun with a new pre '86 registered auto sear?  I've heard about FN-FNC full auto conversions going on since 1986.

If I recall correctly Reagan re-legalized gun shows, and re-legalized interstate sales of firearms.  Can anybody enlighten me on the specifics of the 1986 firearms legislation?
