I realize W is not as progun as we would like. Just curious if you think Kerry, or Gore, or say Hillary, or Bill Clinton would have signed these into law?

wow, this is good stuff. Or this. Look at who the usual suspects are for pushing for the elimination of hunting on the island. Its always been my dream to kill a santa Rosa Elk.

Wow, all this talk about facts and how NRA and bush are anti NRA, and not a peep from Ifferd, or VC, or any of the super liberals on here. Run boys, run.

Its only speculation but I'd guess that all three of those mention wouldn't have signed that bill. OR, they would have required a number of provisions that would water it down.

I'm sure you'll hear from Iff and vc when they log in this morning.

So mch for the fable about President Bush being anti-gun and anti-hunter. The question was asked on another thread recently, along the lines of "what has Bush done for gun owners?". Answer is in the last article--" I would like to thank President Bush for signing the most significant piece of pro-gun legislation in twenty years into law."

I have no doubts there will be a shortage of things for the bashers to lob--reckon how many of those "bombs" are just fables also?

You know, when he signed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, that was important to me.But the liberals on here won't touch it. Too scared.

"..the prohibition of confiscation of legal firearms from law-abiding citizens during states of emergency........This new law was part of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bill........passed the House on July 25, 2006 with a broad bi-partisan margin of 322-99.........passed the United States Senate by 84-16, the largest margin of victory for a NRA-backed measure......"œThe essence of the "˜Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act"™ was so compelling that it received strong, bipartisan support in Congress," continued Cox.

Yep, given all that, Kerry would have signed this, as would a Libertarian or any other mainstream candidate for prez.

That's "softball" legislation - the vats majority of Americans, even the anti-gunners who supported Brady and AWB like Bush and Kerrycouldn't have oppoed this bill.

Here is how the congressional vote broke down.
