Gun control advocates are always complaining that we should be willing to comprimise with them. That we as gun owners should be willing to give up or have tightly regulated restrictions placed on our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms enacted back in 1775.

Yet these are the same people that would scream bloody blue murder if anyone even talked about restricting the rights that they hold dear or think are important.

Just because the rights I hold dear are not the same as yours does not mean I am right and you are wrong or vice versa.

During the last election Gun control was an important issue to me. It was not a side issue. I am not a single issue voter, but that was one of the main reasons that I voted the way I did, as well as my feelings on the war in Iraq and on terrorism, and a few other issues.

Yet the current Democratic party refuses to leave my firearms alone. The posterwoman for gun control (Sen Fienstien) made an announcment yesterday or the day before about trying to get some BS anti-gun ammendments added to the current Manufacturers liablity protection bill coming up in congress.

There are already more than enough regulations affecting firearms ownership, what needs to happen (and I have stated this time and time again) Is they need to enforce the laws currently on the books, not make more BS laws that 1) will not be enforced, 2) will only be followed by the law abiding, 3) that waste time in congress when they could be more concerned with things like unemployment, Social Security ETC ETC ETC .

I've said before, and I'll say it again. By banning any kind of firearms you are only making it worse for the actual decent people. All this will accomplish is decent people not being able to protect themselves. Criminals will find ways to get guns regardless, we as citizens should be able to protect ourselves. I am not a gun owner, but I agree with you whole heartedly.

It's obvious that Feinstein and her ilk (and we know who they are) are not concerned with Howard Dean's stance on the gun control issue and leaving it up to the states. Feinstein and Kennedy are comfortable in their attack on our rights, because of the comfortable constituency they emanate from. They don't care about the damage that they may cause to the Democratic Party as a whole.

In the Senate, Republican Leader Bill Frist, amid the shrieks and howls of the Left, took up S 397, the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act," which would protect businesses involved with the firearms trade from frivolous lawsuits. The Senate voted 66-32 to curtail lawsuits that harass gun manufacturers by suing them when virtually anyone gets struck by a bullet. On Thursday, by a 70-30 vote, the senators added to the proposed bill a mandatory trigger-lock provision, requiring gun sellers to include a gun lock with each purchase. That is an inauspicious start for modifications to a good piece of legislation, but the senators can always discover a way to mess up a good thing.


And so it starts.......again! anger.gif
