“This election was crucial for the Second Amendment,” said NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. “The NRA stands for freedom, our members are defenders of freedom and we are proud to see that gun owners across the country came out and voted for freedom.

Of the 251 candidates endorsed by NRA for the U.S. House of Representatives, 241 candidates won. 14 of the 18 NRA-endorsed U.S. Senate candidates won their races.

Wrong again

Hardly had the exit polls shown that 22 percent of the voters named "moral values" as the issue mattering most in their choice for president when Andrew Kohut, the president of the Pew Research Center, called that conclusion misleading. On the Wednesday edition of "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer," Mr. Kohut rightly pointed out that moral values may have ranked ahead of jobs or terrorism because it was an ambiguous, appealing and catchall phrase.

It is true that if the exit polls had constructed an equivalent catchall economic category adding concern about health care and taxes to that about jobs and growth, it would have been the top concern of 33 percent of the voters. If the poll findings had combined concern about terrorism with concern about Iraq, as apparently many voters did, the resulting category would have ranked first with 34 percent of the voters.

...

So level-headed observers like Mr. Kohut are wise to warn that no one quite knows what reality lies behind the moral values catchphrase. But isn't it important to find out? The fact that 80 percent of the voters listing moral values uppermost in their minds voted for Mr. Bush suggests that there is some unifying, underlying reality there. Anyone seeking to understand American political culture should be more than a little bit curious, to say nothing of Democrats contemplating the future of their party.

Where're the guns? They aren't in there. It was a non-issue for this election. Did you notice that neither Kerry nor Bush mentioned it in their campaign?
 
Didn't have to mention it. Kerry has a 20 year record as a gun grabber.

Bush signed into law concealed carry for Texas, allowed the AWB to expire, armed airline pilots, and will apoint judges who defend the 2nd Amendment.

If you thing this doesn't matter to 90 million American gun owners, your another one that doesn't get it.

Remember, the dems lost their control over Congress (by a landslide) right after passing the AWB. They haven't regained it since then.
(oh yeah, all the exit polls were wrong).

Why didn’t you hear? Kerry was going to take everyone’s Bible and use them for a big fire to melt down all the guns.

It was obvious to anyone with half a brain.

Just ask anyone with half a brain.

Soo... We have the most important issue of the campaign... Which neither candidate had to mention, so they didn't... and which no-one in the exit polls mentioned... Because the exit polls are wrong... And I don't get it.

One of your guns went off near your forehead, didn't it?
 
The NRA wouldn't know freedom if it bit them in the collective @$$. They're a shill for the Republicans. They have no problem with second amendment restrictions that Republicans pass and support, and they actually advocate enforcing the 20,000+ unconstitutional gun laws on the books. People who call up the NRA asking them about support for these laws and for anti-gun Republicans get hung up on.

They're not into protecting gun owners' rights; they're into getting gun owners' money.

Gun Owners of America is a much better organization, as is Keep And Bear Arms.

Agreed. I like guns, but don't like the Republican Party. I would consider joining the NRA if they weren't the GOP's lapdogs.

There are ZERO unconstitutional gun laws on the books.


(In case you don't understand the concept of ZERO, it's the same percentage of the vote Badnarik won in the recent election)

What a coincidence, it's also the same percentage of brain matter that currently occupies your cranium.
 
Ok, just one, because It would take me all week to cover all the laws in the country.

Illinois requires a license to buy, or own a gun. I don't see anything about having to have a license in the Bill of Rights.

But is there anything in the Bill of Rights that forbids licenses?
 
Thanks, I have a copy hanging in my living room.

Heres the relevant part. "...shall not be infringed. You can fill in the rest.

would this mean that it is unconstitutional to charge money for guns? After all, high cost would infringe the rights of the poor to be tooled up....

FREE GUNS FOR FREEDOM !!!

Three point shot Fool!

This has to be funniest and most pointed reply I have ever seen to a RichardG post.

:D

And just a quick note to RickyG should he happen to be reading, the bit about "shall not be infringed" refers to the arms that would be used by a militia, and not to individual owners.
