why would I support anyone's plan about anything without knowing what it is? That is like saying having troops with full auto assault rifles (real assault rifles, not the pretend assault rifle sometimes called "assault weapon&quot is a great idea simply because Boxer is a Democrat.

For either of us know, he could be saying "That Bill Ruger guy had the right idea". and leave it at that. I picture NICS improvement and a return to a the Bill Bennett inspired import ban.
I just find it odd that people are basing their opinions on the irrational and uninformed rants of TV pundits.
