Vultite 57 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Sixty-five House Democrats said Wednesday that they would oppose any attempt by the Obama administration to revive a ban on military-style weapons that President Bill Clinton signed into law in 1994 and President George W. Bush let expire. The pro-gun Democrats, led by Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark., wrote Attorney General Eric Holder that they would "actively oppose any effort to reinstate the 1994 ban, or to pass any similar law." This is from the NRA-ILA website. and article on this... http://www.wtopnews.com/?nid=116&sid=1627648 PS: Anyone here from Arkansas please email Mike Ross and thank him.

Wotan1105 7 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 It's definitely a good thing. If only the 80 million? or so gun owners would vote as a solid block one election. When it's all said and done I'm sure Holder will have the power to do pretty much whatever he wants without needing Congress to sign off. If he can't already. They will have much more clever ways of "banning" things if they really want to. Import laws, ammo laws, could be anything. And since Congress doesn't read what they vote on anyhow they could still slip it through in anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vultite 57 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Well, this does give hope, or at the very least TIME. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joelrod47 373 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Mike Ross is a straight up guy........... He may be a Democrat, but he is a Democrat of the old school, before they were taken over by the looneytunes that are the Democrat party today......... Southern Conservative Democrat (think Zel Miller).......... Actually represents the people of his district......"A" rated NRA......... He can bust hell of of clays, too.............. A really decent guy.......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrance@iacwds.com 716 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Just one little factoid I would like to pass on. When the article says, "President George W. Bush let expire.". That is B.S.! George W. Bush said if they put the bill to continue the AWB on his desk he would sign it. He did not let it "expire"! they (congress) never gave him the chance to make a choice! The Bush boys are not our friends! 1911 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now, Obama could say the same thing, but he doesn't have a clue as to what his party is doing so thats a toss up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

saigafan12345 21 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 they say "bush let it expire" so they can associate bush with the AWB not being around a lot of people don't like bush, and people tend to associate things with other things so if bush = bad and bush = no awb then no awb = bad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rangerdavid 6 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 sw33t!so i am not the only gun toting liberal, who votes, pays taxes and goes to church.. weird. nope, you're not the only one. I think we should all, on both sides of the isle, write our congressmen and women and let 'em know how many of us oppose any such legislation. I really don't think there's a chance of any ban like this passing, under the guise of securing the borders with Mexico, or for any other reason. It is reasuring to hear, though.....
