Gun Owners Beware!

[earthside]

The BIG story out of these hearings ought to be that Bush and "Squeaky" Gonzales are asserting the president's power to do almost anything. Period. So, gun owners beware!

Now we have the words, or lack of words.

Gonzales refused to answer if the Bushites are or can open First Class Mail without warrants. (Leahy question)

Gonzales did not answer if the president could suspend all or part of the Posse Comitatus Act. (Feinstein question)

Democrats should be screaming about this --- and this is the point they should make for maximum political effect.

If Bush can claim that being 'commander-in-chief' permits him to secretly spy on Americans without warrants, why can he not then keep all the records on gun sales? Why can he not keep a secret list of all gun owners in the country -- after all if there are al Qaida here, they almost certainly own firearms. Can't you hear this statement from Bush: "If al Qaida is buying guns in this country, we want to know about it." Sounds pretty reasonable, doesn't it? How much do you want to bet that this collection of personal information isn't already going on?

This means that every Republican, NRA, gun owner in this country is now or can be under survellience!

If the Bushites are going to be stopped, we've got to undercut their base -- and scaring gun owners about their rights is a great place to start!

1. "Democrats should be" yeah but they won't

there is no real opposition to bush that wears a suit and tie.

You should know that.

2. A lot of those morons are still fascinated with the POS*.

The smart ones see * is evil and the downwards spiral he's taking our country in.

The other idiots still think their precious 'caches' are safe. "El Dorko Alioto seems pretty 2nd Amendment friendly" is their mantra.

They love Red Dawn so they know the evil military dude sent troops to the sporting goods store to pull the 4473 gun registration forms.

If these morons stopped fondling their guns for one second they'll see our rights eroding under this jackass.

They should also be weary about those new so-called immigration detention centers. Armed and dangerous get first dibs.

3. If they start fucking with the NRA, that should be fun to watch

No better way to piss off thousands of rednecks (who they normally depend on) than to threaten to take away their guns. Like them or hate them, the NRA is a very powerful, formidable force.
