[snip] Surprisingly, the issues that have most alienated many gun
groups from the Bush administration have little to do with firearms, but
rather with the Patriot Act and other homeland security measures
instituted after Sept. 11. Opposition to such laws has aligned
gun-rights activists with unlikely partners, such as liberal Democrats
and the ACLU.
"It's not just gun rights for us, it's the Bill of Rights," [snip]
In a sense, the foregoing is true. Many SA supporters are truly BoR supporters that any infringement of those guaranteed rights tends to get our attention. I guess we're all libertarian freedom lovers at heart. But the bottom line is that we cannot back off Bush now and let Kerry get elected. That is purely unacceptable to my one issue voting arm when I get into the voting booth.
