Gore's new, muted approach to guns reflects a sensible awareness of political reality. The reality is based not just on what Gore's internal polls on guns must be showing; a realistic approach to gun politics must also take account of the history of one of the greatest Democratic debacles in presidential history — the 1988 Dukakis campaign.

A guy in California is marketing kits to converty AR-15's to try to get around SB23.
The fact that people have to scurry around and behave as if they were criminals...simply for owning militia rifles...is starting to make me think American Revolution Version 2.0 is very, very close now.

NO DOUBT gun control is a central issue in the presidential campaign. For a year now, Vice President Al Gore has painted Texas Gov. George Bush as an extremist, a pawn of the National Rifle Association who recklessly endangered people by signing a concealed handgun law. Gore has gone as far as linking Bush's signing that legislation to last year's fatal shooting at a Fort Worth church. Gore's use of type-casting is made easier by the stereotypical view held of Texas... |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
