2- A ban on ammunition, especially center fire rifle ammo. 3- A ban on all semi-automatic rifles. 4- Fewer firearms dealers and that means HIGHER PRICES for guns/ammo. DEFEND FIREARMS- DEFEAT KERRY- VOTE GEORGE W. BUSH ON NOVEMBER 2 www.nrapvf.org

When people start using fishing poles to kill one another I'll start worrying.

I think the animal rights people alone don't have the power to make these changes, but many people fear guns and what they can be used for so it gets targeted (no pun intended). Fishing is fundamentally different, it doesn't utilize a tool that could be used for killing people. Plus, this is a BASS FISHING GROUP! Let's keep our posts to that, OK?
