"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

Ding! Dong!

The so-called "Assault Weapons" Ban is dead... well, close enough for goverment work anyway.

Good riddance to a useless feel-good law that did nothing to stop crime and only served to infringe upon the rights of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms.

The question now is: How will the so-called "life long hunter and Second Amendment supporter" use the sunset of the AWB to try to float his sinking candidacy.

Pointing out that the sunset was built into the law before President Bush was in the White House, or that he did nothing to fight its renewal, or that he said he'd sign it if it got to his desk, would be silly on my part.

These are facts. And things like facts (or truth or logic) don't seem to be strong suits of those trying to "retake" their power the White House.
