Where you think your bill "as written above" would fly.

"If you are going to write repugnent bills, and vote like repugnents, why not just define yourself as a repugnent?"

Ok, I'm not going to take this as a thinly veiled personal attack,

BUT,

A. it certainly COULD be interpreted that way.

B. I didn't write ANY bills, repugnant or otherwise.

C. Do you think folks with defining issues such as being pro-choice, anti-drug war, anti-racism, and pro-gun ownership "vote like repugnents" or do you think it be more realistic to say they opt not to vote at all?

"All 3 fly in the face of the party platform, which, as in other threads has been pointed out, repects the rights of sportsmen and legit gun owners. I'm verry serious here, have you thought of the damage to the party this would cause, and for how long that damage would last, and what would be going on all the while? "-beevul

D. have you thought of the damage to the party this would cause, and for how long that damage would last, and what would be going on all the while? This was not a rhetorical question, so please ANSWER it directly.

E. "most of US supports reasonable restrictions"

Oh, you mean places like Minnesota and Wisconsin, Wyoming, Montana, Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Alaska, Ohio, vermont, Colorado, New Mexico, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Illinois, Utah, Arizona, Michigan, florida, Texas, and others which I have forgotten which are either popular hunting states, or CCW states, or both?

Please reconsile this statement-"most of US supports reasonable restrictions"- with the number of CCW states, and hunting states which number in the mid 30's or higher.

D. If you really still don't believe me, try asking in General Discussion about your 3 part proposal, OR , go directly to the horses mouth, and start calling senators and congressmen and representatives,all in different states, and ask them if if thier constituents would support your bill. Then ask them, if they did vote for it,hypothetically, if it would cost them thier seat in the gov.

Don't take this personally, but the truth is going to be painfull for you on this. 80 million gun owners, 90% of them with a big chip on thier shoulder and voting repug. Think about it.
