How can you call yourselves democrats...
Then not support the AWB?

John Kerry spoke clearly, the AWB makes it dangerous for cops. AK-47s are copkiller rifles and the AWB made them ilegal. Democrats are for the AWB, if not, you're no Kerryist.

2. Because
i agree with democrats on abortion, gay marriage, foriegn policy, healthcare, and almost every other major issue. Just because I disagree with the party in this one area doesn't make me any less of a democrat than you.

3. That's why...
The NRA is so powerful. Their people care about gun rights, they vote on gun rights. To democrats, guns are a non-issue so we'll never get anywhere until we punish those who support guns.

Problem is, you may agree with all of the democrats platform, but it won't matter if there's an AK bullet in your head.

5. WHEN John Kerry wins...
He will bring back the much needed AWB, which is a step in the right direction. Yet, a lot of so called democrats here would rather side with the NRA.

6. Hmm...
So, I guess since I believe that marriage should not be limited to a man and a woman, that makes me a bad "democrat" too since John Kerry believes the opposite, right?

7. DUH!
Why the hell would you call yourself a democrat when you don't agree with the candidate? Though it that case, Kerry isn't as bad as Bush who wants an amendment, but in the case of the AWB, Kerry supports the AWB!

Kerry is no damn gun-nut, Brady campaign gave him a 100 rating!!!! He's no cowboy like Bush.

10. It appears that you need to learn a bit about the defunct AWB
The AWB did not make AK's, SK's, AR's, M's, or any other weapons illegal. What it made illegal were accessories for those firearms.

Get a clue about the topic before you post.
