and sport a quote from Clinton in your sig line. Yet, under Bush we have had more restrictions placed on our freedoms than under any President in my nearly 50 years. All in the name of "necessity". Just saying that is an odd thing to be sporting as your siggy on this progressive site as you talk of freedom at all costs.
Those more articulate on gun issues might also point out that another right wing hero signed some pretty damning legislation against rights of gun owners...
{hint}

"You do know that I'm a member of the NRA, and my position on the right to bear arms is well known...But I want you to know something else, and I am going to say it in clear, unmistakable language: I support the Brady bill, and I urge the Congress to enact it without further delay."
"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves." -- William Pitt
