She is a strident hack, who would not be in her position if she had to run most anywhere else. I do not think that all or most Democrats are against gun ownership. For one thing, I have alot of friends who have guns, who are also Democrats. I don't really want to endlessly argue who loves their "stash o' weapons" more, just know that not all Dems are anti-gun, and probably most would be happy to let things be as they are. Any time one of my friends who is not necessarily pro-gun ownership has a question about my position, I like to ask two questions. 1) Do you trust the current administration? 2) Do you think they should be the only ones to have guns? If you can't answer yes to the first, how can you to the second? Bernard |

The democrat _people_ aren't - they're union members, a lot of 'em, that aren't at work on the 1st day of hunting season. They're a lot of the makeup of the citizen's militias that sprang up in the mid 90's, that the news media tried to make out to be racist, but they were actually pro gun ownership people that were scared that the government was about to turn into something it was never meant to be, taking as evidence the events at Ruby Ridge and Waco.

They know they can't come out and say so, especially now that we (the NRA) have taught them the politcal realities, but they'd sure _like_ to collect up all the guns. >For one thing, I have alot of friends >who have guns, who are also Democrats. Yep. These are the democrat people. The democrat elite even have guns, too.

It seems that, at this particular moment, there are no pending bills of that sort on the Federal level. That doesn't mean much, though. The reversal of the so-called assault gun ban dealt the anti-gunners a real blow,and trhe re-election of Bush dealt another. They were really counting on Kerry winning, as he's never met an anti-gun bill he didn't like enough to either co-sponsor or vote for. There will be more, count on it. The anti-gunners haven't given up.
