While many of us have been wondering just how old Dubya was going to handle the sunset clause in the Assault Weapons Ban, lo and behold the congressional Republicans have devised a way to rescue their boy and keep the AWB, all at the same time.

Word is out that the Republican lawmakers have contrived to include the extension of the AWB into legislation that will also ban lawsuits against gun manufacturers. By so doing, they are providing themselves a way to make the AWB permanent while being able to say they voted for a bill to protect gun manufacturers.

Be forewarned; the buzzword for the Republicans in their colossal sell-out will be “compromise.” Naturally, the lapdogs down at the NRA will jump on the bandwagon and support this piece of socialist drivel, just like they have every other sell out of our Second Amendment rights in the past.

The Republican leadership will point with pride to the fact they have backed their opponents, the “Democrats,” into a corner and forced them to support the legislation that will stop all these lawsuits against the gun manufacturers, while in reality, Schumer, Feinstein, Boxer and the other socialist democrats will be laughing up their sleeves because they have exactly what they want: the continuation of the AWB, which they will be able to amend from time to time, adding never ending new groups of firearms to the ban. Eventually, all we will be allowed to own is a starter pistol that fires nothing but blanks, as all others will have been re-classified as some new form of assault weapon.

Never forget, an assault weapon is whatever the government says it is. First it will be semi-autos, both long and short guns. Then it will be all center-fires and then finally it will be any firearm that fires a projectile.

Of course there will be the appropriate heinous use of a firearm by some nut that will lead to each and every one of the aforementioned firearms being banned "for the good of the children".

Just exactly how long is it going to take for the fools in this country to realize that if the State will send your children into foreign lands to die for corporate bottom lines, they will have your children die in their schools and playgrounds to insure their dominion and control over the people?

A free country is an armed country! Obviously, neither party wants us armed. Go figure!
