    That's the way I felt until he backed away from repeal of the ban.  I've 
been thinking the past few days....  What I've decided is that, come election 
day, if it looks pretty obvious that Dole isn't going to win I'm going to 
vote Libertarian (for President, still Republican for other races).  That way 
when the votes are counted there will be something tangible for the GOP to 
consider when they try to analyze the reasons for their loss.  I'm also going 
to write a letter saying pretty much this to the local, state, and nation 
campaign chairmen.  I want to make it extremely clear that gun owners will 
_not_ be taken for granted, that backing away from the repeal diminishes the 
distinction between Clinton and Dole, and that we can punish those who break 
their promises by withholding our votes and casting them for yet another 
choice.
    What I won't put in the letter is that, in a very close race, I will most 
likely hold my nose and vote for Dole, hoping that he will be more malleable 
than a lame duck, avowed anti-gun SOB should a repeal bill come to the White 
House for a Presidentialsignature.    :-)
