| I've heard lots of great things about this group. Luke should try to get them to sign on as a sponsor. |

Even if John McCain wins, the Democratic-controlled Senate would never approve his Supreme Court nominees, so he may have to appoint liberals to appease the Democrats and fill Supreme Court vacancies. As for your statement that the NRA did not sell us out on the AWB, it was the NRA who, instead of outright opposing the AWB, provided the definition to include any weapon that had two or more of any of the following: detachable magazine, bayonet lug, pistol grip, grenade launcher, heat shields, and collapsible/folding stocks. It was also the NRA who, instead of outright opposing the bill, made sure it had a sunset provision. If the NRA were so intent on standing up for gun owners that time, it would have opposed he bill outright rather than trying to water it down. |

| What about us Black people and OUR guns? Or does he buy into the stereotype that the typical gun owner is a bigoted, white, Christian redneck? |

| Personally I would vote for McCain. I hope some of the dems in office get booted. And I wonder if Biden would send his son off without a weapon to fight? I think any ban would only take firearms away from law abiding citizens and create more crime, only the criminals would have them. I think if we are disarmed and a criminal has a gun, he would feel he could get away with more without consecquences or very little punishment. Honest people right now are on the street wondering where they can get a meal and a place to sleep, why should we give criminals more? Firearm related crimes should be a max punishment and maybe less will use them for criminal acts. Jobs for Americans is the big thing I would like to see from our government. Anyway my 3 cents. |

Similarly, the House has 235 Democrats and 199 Republicans, so they have a 54.3% majority. Most votes are not strictly along party lines - there's people from both sides that will waver on particular issues. The dominant party can sometimes get enough of the minority to go along with things to overturn a veto or break a filibuster. From 2005-2007, it looked like this: Senate Republican - 55% (55) Democrat - 45% (44) House Republican - 53% (229) Democrat - 47% (202) So, the Democrats now have a slightly larger proportion than we did at that time in the House - but at that time we vastly outdistanced their current numbers in Senate. House Republicans tend to be somewhat more conservative than their colleagues in the Senate, so that's actually our strong area because they're more likely to remain more unified on votes. Notice that the bailout got hung up in the House on the first trip around but passed when it came out of the Senate (with tax breaks to make it more tasty).

| So I'm not saying we should all get complacent because the NRA, GOA or whoever is going to shield us. Nope...I'm saying, even if Democrats kick our asses this time around, don't despair, because we'll return it next time. This is a good excuse to get every breathing person you know to sign up as a member of a solid gun rights organization, even if you have to give them the money for the dues. We should also get everyone we know to get a CWP and to shower their elected officials with gun-related correspondence. Support gun show vendors, write letters to the editor, do whatever possible - 130% effort - to see to it that our rights continue to be protected. If anyone needs any motivation, just carry around a wallet-sized picture... ![]()
