 RT> Then do so while you have the chance.
You bet!  I November I'm voting against Klinton for signing the Brady Bill
& the Magazine Ban.  I'm voting against Dole for voting for the Brady Bill
Waiting Period & the Magazine/Rifle Ban.  I'm voting pro-gun . . . for a
change!
 
 GP> That's where the leaders come in . . . voters who vote for whom _they_
 GP> want.  You're a follower . . . . .
 RT> I'm a realist.
You vote anti-gun!  You're saying that's "realism?!"  Perhaps you mean
you're a Traitor . . . 
 
 GP>  RT> That is why you need the time to build . . .
 GP> 
 GP> We've got 12 hrs. on election day in November . . . how much more time 
 GP> does one need?
 RT> Time to get some name recognition on the ballot.
You never get any name recognition until you put the votes there, then
_afterwards_ you get name recognition.  Balls come before fame.
 
 GP>  RT> We don't want to shoot ourselves in the foot.
 GP> You've been shooting yourself both feet, election after election.  How
 GP> much worse can you get?  Machine guns can't be built since 1986,
 GP> manufacture of semi-auto rifles banned,waiting periods, infantry rifle
 GP> imports banned, magazines banned . . . . . . . . . . . . !
 RT> How active are you other than in here?  Are you involved in politics
 RT> at a local level?  County?  State?  
On the national level I was on the founding staff of the National Firearms
Association (NFA) formed in response to the 1986 machine gun manufacturing
ban that NRA supported.  Served as President as well as on the Board of
Directors of NFA.  On the state level, as NFA president I persoanlly
organized (it was a bitch, too!) the first pro-gun rally to be held on the
steps of the Texas Capitol in Austin, & the first in the nation that I know
of at a state capitol, in response to George Bush's imported infantry rifle
ban.  On the local level I've distributed ammunition, machine guns, SBS's &
silencers to the law abiding citizens of Texas since 1984.
 RT> If not, why not?
I'm sorry if that's not enough, but I just don't have anymore time . . .
Now, getting back to my question . . . how can you vote to affirm the Brady
Bill & the Magazine Ban?  Is this really what you want?  I want you to tell
me in November how it feels to cast an anti-gun vote.
 
 GP> You can say:  "Look!  I voted for lesser Trash . . . & I got Trash!?  
 RT> No, hopefully I can say I helped to get Clinton out of the White
 RT> House.
Can someone please tell me what the "difference" is supposed to be between
the Klinton/Dole voting records on gun rights?
 
GP> How about Dole's votes for NAFTA, GATT, Brady Bill, Rifle/Magazine Ban,
GP> Terror Bill, etc.?!  Dole's voted for everything Klinton signed!
 
GP>RT> Right now he appears to be the *only* chance to beat Clinton. I sure
GP>RT> as hell don't him back in there.
 RT> I still feel this way.
Well how does it make you feel?  Selling out your family & country & voting
anti-gun . . . . .
... I'd rather be DEAD.........than RED!
