The problem is, I can see McCain signing a new assault weapons ban as easily as Obama. Maybe more so, since McCain is an appeaser, politically.

I don't think he would do that. He might roll over on some stuff, but he seems pretty firm about the gun rights. I would trust him alot more then that POS democrat that is running. JMO<<<<

"we"? You got a mouse in your pocket or something? Whats this "we" nonsense?

As Texicankid pointed out, mcAmensty is just as likely to sign a AWB. He's even more likely to get it passed since most republicans follow a republican presidents lead to stay "party loyal".

15 million? Wasn't that about the same amount as lapierre's compensation for this past term?

Everyone knows obamma is as anti-gun as they come. Why the nra isn't spending money warning ignorant gun owners of mcAmnestys evils is quite disheartening.
