Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said that Americans have "no right to have access to the weapons of war in the streets of America." He criticized President Bush for not doing enough to promote an extension of the ban.

Another reason Kerry won't get my vote.
A rifle was used to thwart a breakin here in Anchorage this week. A drug deal gone bad. One gun used wrong, one used correctly. What a mess. Here is an embarrassing link:

IMO - If someone (like maybe a true leader) would build a smart law that included mandatory sentences for violent crimes that are committed with guns (any guns). That enabled the gun buffs to trade, sell, barter and shoot their guns until the barrels fall off (with intelligent controls). That enables a person to utilize a gun as a self defense tool. Then maybe they could sell it to the American people. Not try to push it down our throats. I mean actually sell it. Even a great leader can't sell shit and say its chow mein.
Personally this ban and all its glory are even more proof that America needs some true leadership.
BTW - Alaskans NEED guns. Just being in the woods can be trouble.
