<img border="0" alt="[soapbox]" title="" src="graemlins/soapbox.gif" /> Greg, don't be so naive to think that all Kerry wanted to do is the re-instate the Clinton Assault Rifle Ban... it was a bad piece of legislation and he is too ignorant to take the time to know that it had absolutely no effect on crime or gun sales... it only inconvenienced gun owners from having the "cosmetic" evil features on the semi-auto rifles they bought until the ban was lifted. When do you think was the last time Kerry went hunting when it wasn't a photo opportunity in a "battleground" state?
Making the AWB permanent wasn't supported in Congress because most politicians figured out it was bad legislation and it was an election year. Given the chance, the liberals will not only re-instate the ban, they will tighten it to include things that also have no effect on crime... For all we know, the next ban will be on ex-military weapons like LUGERS... after all, they hold no inherent sporting use... Don't swallow their agenda if you want your heirs to have the same privileges that you enjoy now... They will remove our "rights" one bite at a time...because they could never be successful in grabbing them all at once. Just look at the history in Australia, and England... the "slippery slope" is not a theory... it is a proven concept... The second amendment is the ONLY amendment that guarantees that the other amendments will exist for our posterity... IF they manage to dismantle that one, there are NO guarantees... < SOAP BOX MODE - OFF >
