[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2992117, member: 13624"] 1) If I take a "liberal position," it's classical liberal, not leftist, and I'll claim that one proudly. I didn't say "we" anywhere in this thread; I did say "our" side, but that was a reference to us as gun owners, not Republicans. 2) I don't know if I have a problem with the platform or not (though I probably will, in that it doesn't call for enough repeal of existing law); frankly, I haven't read it lately, nor do I need to. This thread is about the actions of Republican elected officials. 3) The action in this case a call for a ban on private sales. I don't care if that's in the platform, not addressed, or explicitly opposed in the platform; it simply isn't relevant. If the ban passes, I can't go buy privately, get arrested, and then argue at my trial that "well, their [I]platform[/I] said differently!" It's as irrelevant as the price of tea in China to what the law actually ends up being; that's controlled by what they advocate for, introduce in the legislature, and pass. [I]This[/I] arse bandit has clearly called for the ban, which tells me that even if he doesn't actually introduce a bill, he's sure not likely to vote against it. [/QUOTE]
