[QUOTE="brett636, post: 296533, member: 249"] There always have been, and always will be a few RINOS in the republican party. The major trend, especially on a national scale, has been democrats writing and supporting gun control legislation. The 1994 assault weapons ban was supported by a democratic congress, and signed into law by a democratic president. A lot of the most recent pushes in the federal government to enact stricter gun control has been by democrats, such as [URL='http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-1022'] HR 1022[/URL]. It was the democrats who were crying in Sept. 2004 when the original assault weapons ban expired. Sure President Bush said he would sign another if it were put before him, but the republican congress never put one forth. Case in point, look at the democratic presidential hopefuls, and you will find almost all of them support stricter gun control laws. Barak Obama supports a one gun a month limit, a ban on all assault rifles, and gun registration. Hitlary supports the same. Just because a republican happened to be in office when a gun control law passed does not mean the republicans are as anti-gun as their democratic rivals. I live in a mostly conservative state which has been enjoying increasingly more leniant gun control laws. A bill to go before our legislation this year will allow concealed carry weapons on college campuses. Just last year Indiana passed a castle doctine bill allowing people to shoot first when they are threatened in their homes. Finally two years ago we were blessed with the lifetime concealed carry permit. Historically its your more liberal states that enact stricter gun control measures such as Illinois, New York, and California. Its really not a matter of republican or democrat, but conservative and liberal ideals that best discerns which party is more anti-gun. It does not take a rocket sciencist to understand you have far more liberals in the democrat party than the republican party. As far as your notion that the NRA manufactures opposition its actually quite ludicrous. The NRA is a non-profit organization so it has no real desire to secretly support gun legislation to oppose.
