[QUOTE="saltydog, post: 3219669, member: 1086"] With all do respect, I use to think the Republican Party was the savior of the second amendment but over the years that’s not been the case. Sure Johnson gave us the gun control act of 1968 and the sporting purpose clause, but Bush senior sealed the fate of semi auto assault weapon look alike imports using the sporting good clause and the influence of Bill Bennett. Granted Clinton gave us the first Federal Assualt Weapon ban that did have a 10 year sun set clause but Clinton had the support of 38 Republicans in the house. I found it odd that 77 house democrats voted against that ban. It passed 216-214.

Obama would have loved to get away with what trump did but he knew legally he could not do it that way.
