Repped.

Please explain how Dubya or Mittens would have differed?
Both, at the very least, stated a willingness to sign an assault weapons ban.
The time for partisan politics is behind us. If you wish to cling to your dead Party and frolic in the ashes - no one can stop you.
We Libertarians are a fickle bunch. Are you not a Republican?
You are also are dismissing gun owners that disagree with your skewed view of the world when we need them most.
Pretty sure the Democrats didn't sink the U.S.S. Liberty. Where the hell are YOUR allegiances???
The debate is not about who is worse, but about defending the Constitution. The liberals are determined to destroy the republic to establish their own permanent hold on power. Many of the Republicans have joined them (Lugar, McCain, etc.). Others simply help them for personal political gain. All must be rejected.
The best way to eliminate rot is to eliminate the source of it. Thus, it is best to remove the liberals from office. Then the RINOs will be force to stand on their own and be easier to remove from office as well.
Dianne Feinstein CAN'T dismantle the constitution.. she can't. I'm not sure what you're missing. The AWB went through in '94 by ONE vote... and that was a completely different political environment... With the entire "gun owner" party, which is basically what we've become, especially the rural areas where much of the voting republican party resides, the push back against ANYTHING restricting our rights regarding firearms has been quick and VERY strong. The senators and representative presiding over those sates and districts know that if they screw over their base, this will be their last stint in office. Youve got voices, use em.
Please enlighten me about how my view of the world is so skewed, oh wise one. You are always good for a chuckle.
Out of ideas, huh?
Pick up your rifle and fall in - try not to **** off the rest of the platoon. Navy guys know how to use a rifle, right?
Troll on, brother. If you're looking for someone to rise to the bait and get banned, keep looking.
Let me get this straight. Your response to something that is already unacceptable is to suggest that it be made even broader? Just because we cannot at the present get rid of that aberration does not imply that it should be made even more sweeping than it already is.
You might also note that being forced to deal with something and willfully accepting it. No, I do not willingly accept background checks. Personally I believe that every legislator who supported it in the first place should face criminal charges for violating their oaths of office. Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do about it.
let me see... Dianne Feinstein got her panties in a bunch about guns period. Some wingnut took semi-auto rifle and gunned down kids which kicked this whole thing off. Considering how much the media ran with the whole "assault weapons" and plastered those kids pictures over the airwaves 24/7, how could you NOT expect a response. Even now, the teeth of the supposed AWB are gone.. they KNOW they won't get the ban through both house and senate. What you're looking at is at most a UBC and magazine limits.. just something to shut the frenzied public up.. and since most of you already OWN mags that hold more than 10 rounds, what are you crying about? Sure, voice your opinions, write your congressmen (I did it through the Ruger site) and protest! by God, I never said you shouldn't. (by the way, you should write down what YOU think liberal means, and then go look it up and be amazed that your definition doesn't match.)
i don't own a weapon that holds more than 10 rounds. why do I need a mag? I wouldn't mind owning an SKS down the road, but I'm not interested in slapping an extended mag on it. Just personal preference.

by the way, most criminals get their firearms through burglaries and unsecured weapons...

HOW in the hell are background checks on law abiding citizens going to stop this?!
You just blew a hole in the bottom of your own logic boat.
Progressive liberals lack common sense. That is the problem.
I don't consider anything "willing" that I did not consent to in the first place. We are forced by law and threatened criminal penalties if we do not comply. There is no willing consent on my part because I live and breathe under that which is forced upon me.I think you should probably re-read what I said. I was talking about having to pay a "reasonable" fee to have a NICS check when selling a gun... and we ALL jump through the NICS hoops when we buy a gun from a LGS... so you're already WILLINGLY accepting the "infringement" of a background check anyway. I'm not sure if you guys read what your stepping in. The UBC stops you from selling to a private party without a criminal background check.
while I get the slippery slope bit, a background check for a gun purchase and a magazine size limit doesn't infringe your right to bear arms. You get to keep your guns, and shoot them... if you've done something that would disqualify you from owning a firearm, I could understand the background check issue..
