38. I am sure you and he...
are acting in good faith. Condi supports the right to bear arms because she saw how important it was to the safety of her family. I have no problems with that.

Daly will undoubtedly go for high costs...and that will be the basis of the next suit.

I recommend you get away from the "progressive" and "Conservative" categories when it comes to guns. I consider myself extremely liberal and have participated in more actions and volunteered more time to "progressive" causes than most, I think. I am pro-choice, pro-Obamacare, Pro sticking it to BP. I am also very pro-gun, because I value ALL the bill of rights...and after listening to Bush argue against the 1st amendment for 8 years, it feels wrong to use those same arguments to argue against 2A.

The other thing you need to realize about gun politics is that the higher in power you get, the less truly "pro 2A" you tend to be. There have not been a lot of republican presidents championing gun rights. Bush's team sat out the Heller decision. Bush said he would sign an extension of the Assault Weapons Ban. At that level it becomes more about "control"

Thanks for joining the debate!!!
