Senate to vote on Clinton Gun Ban today


iconGun fearing wussies are going to try to take away more of your rights today. The Senate is scheduled to hear amendments today on the reauthorization of the Clinton Gun Ban, and on requiring private citizens to get permission from the government prior to selling a firearm at a gun show. These gun control amendments do nothing to deter crime. Banning a gun based on whether or not it has bayonet lugs or a flash hider is ludicrous.

I will not vote for any politician who votes to expand or reauthorize gun control. That includes Senator Warner, and if Dick Cheney is called upon to cast a Senate tie-breaking vote, that may include the Republican Presidential ticket of 2004. I will not support gun banners. Not now, not ever. I'm firm on this.

UPDATE: Fox News reports that the Senate has passed both of these amendments, giving a major victory to the gun grabbers. Combined with the mandatory gun locks, this bill to prevent frivolous lawsuits has been loaded up with lots of poison pills. Will the NRA continue to endorse the bill? In my opinion, it contains more bad than good, and it should be killed.

UPDATE2: Geek with a .45, who is watching CSPAN and blogging this live reports that the AWB is dead!
