Will the ban get another 10 years???

kingjoey

Do you all think the ban will get renewed in '04? Kinda wondering if the NRA or GOA has anybody actively lobbying for its repeal or modification. I'm hoping they get some publicity campaigns going so that we can do away with that joke. Hasn't done a thing to lower crime, but we knew that for some time now.

I've been trading ideas off and on for about a year with an informal "pro-sunset" group. We don't publish on the open internet because we don't want to reveal our selected tactics prematurely. Without giving anything away, the key fight is going to be in the House.

I personally believe that there is going to be some replacement of the ban, just what exactly it will involve is the question. I also believe that the details of the new ban will tell us in what direction our gun rights are headed. If we can roll back even a couple of things, that will indicate the tide has turned. On the other hand, if the new ban is even stricter, then we are still sliding down the slippery slope. Keep your eyes open and your powder dry.

BTW, don't forget that there are a lot of state bans that are either as tough as the federal ban or worse.

Here's what I know about these particular victim disarmament edicts. Should it make it to the president's office, it will NOT be vetoed. That said, if he does, he won't be getting my vote next term.

Those who would offer any interpretation that would relegate Amendment II to "relic" status of a bygone era are blatantly stating that the remainder of the Bill of Rights isn't worth a damn, either.

Almost everything will depend on who can maintain the highest and longest volume in the media spotlight. Nothing of value has ever come from any gun control law save the strengthening of those who oppose them.

As I understand it, the prez would like to see additions to the Klinton/Brady Viktim Disarmament Bill, including the addition of vertical foregrips, lasers, tactical flash lights, night sights, scopes of less than 4X power, and night vision optics as the "evil" features.

K. Joey. If you would actually join one of those organizations, such as the NRA or GOA, instead of sitting on the sidelines, then you would be kept current on what is happening about the gun ban problem instead of having to go around and ask questions.

if they don't want us to have guns for self defense, what do they want us to have?

kingjoey

I stay on top of the issues, I was taking a poll as opposed to the pole that you probably take on a nightly basis. * [}:)]

Kingjokey. Even the anti-gunners can be found to be "staying on top of the issues." Why don't you tear yourself away from your computer and spend a little time and money actually helping the gun rights movement. Although doing that is not as much fun as posting a stupid frowning face with the "*" attached. In all my postings I have never sunk so low as to do that. Hey, it that a "booger" hanging out of your nose?

Whatever, troll. Poof clock's a'tickin....Oh, almost forgot

Kingjokey, look left, look right, and look behind you. Not that I claim to have any friends or supporters on this forum, but for the moment at least, you don't have your usual gang of idiots, losers, and bums behind you. Oh, and by the way, why don't you spell out LOUD AND CLEAR for all of us exactly what your "*" means? Or are you too cowardly to do that?

It means "good for you", isn't that right? Well, probably.

TR fox In my term here I have never pointed a finger at anyone or judged anyone. KingJoey did in fact ask/raised a valid point

Now your response to that question is:

That almost sounds like a Clinton'esq response to me In this forum.

You two should maybe take your personal disputes to Dr Phil.'He's there for us.' Ha Ha KJ the info I've recieved does not go into detail, but I think with the current number of pro-gun reps in office after the last election things look pretty good for the good guys. If we can keep the psycho's from shooting up schools and such for a few years we can really get back some lost ground. BDJr

I do not believe that anyone will rock the boat on this issue. There are too many other issues worth the battle. What ever is decided on or changed will not amount to a hill of beans. I say look for the same ol same ol. My 2 cents [8D]
