Columbine dad to protest Bush for end of ban:
Tom Mauser, the father of Daniel Mauser who was killed at Columbine, plans to protest Tuesday during President Bush’s visit to Colorado. He says that President Bush has done nothing to encourage Congress to act on renewal of the ban. I feel bad for Mr. Mauser since he lost his son to our two favorite scumbags but the assault weapons ban was in effect for 4 1/2 years when Columbine happened. Many things could have prevented Columbine, Harris and Klebold’parents, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Dept. if they had executed their search warrant, but not the assault weapons ban. The only difference I could see in my research between “assault weapons” and non-assault weapons is that assault weapons have a “military” look to them. The common misconception is that assault weapons are fully automatic machine guns, which are illegal to own. So the ban only prevented people from being killed by military “looking” weapons. No to mention that the ban only prevented private citizens from owning the weapons. Criminals didn’t really pay much attention to the ban. President Bush is on record saying that if Congress had passed an extension of the ban he would have signed it. So why he’s protesting the President is beyond me. Maybe he should be more dedicated to getting legislation passed that would make much harsher sentences for selling guns illegally that are then used in a crime. Mark Manes, who sold his TEC-DC9 to Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, only served 19 months. But hey, it’s his life.
As always it was your pleasure.

I’m glad the ban is going away. I like military-style rifles and I hope to get an AR-15 someday. Anyway, now I can finally get high-capacity clips at a cheaper price now since they are going to start making new ones again for civilian consumption. During the ban, it cost a $100 to get a pre-ban 15-round Beretta 92F clip. Good times are here again for gun collectors.
Yeah, it’s all Bush’s fault. Ignore the fact that *Congress* is the one who can renew the ban, and they let it expire. You know, I’m sure Bush broke into Congressional buildings in the middle of the night, and then stole the ban legislation so it couldn’t be renewed. Kerry is dissillusioned and should consider mental counseling. Maybe he and Al could form their own support group.
Of course; Bush is the antichrist, after all. And we all know this because of the startling evidence that he’s a Texan, white, moderately rich, and has a Harvard education. The villain! Don’t even get me started on the fact he’s a Republican, and we all know that Republicans are heartless, soulless baby eaters who’d rather make a buck than save our beloved Alaskan Man-Eating Platypus and legalize drugs.
I AM SO SICK OF POLITICS….
