Bush Silence On Repeal Of D.C.s’s Un-Constitutional Gun Ban Shows He’s All Talk No Action On Second Amendment
September 29, 2004
At various campaign stops around the country, President Bush has said, to applause, that he stands “strongly for the Second Amendment, which gives every American the indivisible right to bear arms.” But, his failure to support Rep. Mark Souder’s (R-Ind.) legislation which would repeal all of Washington DC’s laws which prohibit private gun ownership shows that when it comes to the Constitutionally-protected right of individual citizens to keep and bear arms, Mr. Bush is all talk and no action.
As recently as September 28, 2004, the “Washington Post” reported White House spokesman Clare Buchan as having “declined to comment on the specifics of Souder’s bill.”
But, why no comment?
Washington DC’s draconian anti-gun, anti-self defense laws are proof, with a vengeance, of the truthful assertion: “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.” These un-Constitutional laws have only victimized law-abiding citizens by disarming them. They have done nothing to reduce crimes committed by criminals using guns. Had I been President, I would have vigorously and publicly supported Rep. Souder’s long overdue legislation.
