" What is the difference between myself as a former Officer in the U.S. Army (Infantry) and now as a civilian, that I cannot be entrusted with virtually the very same firearm I carried in defense of my country ?"

As our service members begin rotating out of theater and return home (hopefully soon), I can imagine the "nakedness" one would feel by being denied this very basic fundamental right.  

George W. Bush knew the AWB would never get to his desk.

As for my vote, I say "4 more years"

Does anyone know of or can find the statistics of American prior service personnel in this country.

Every one I've been in is nothing more than a watering hole with cheap  booz .

I certainly believe the gun control crowd fears a nation full of skilled veterans.
