Reply #68: Still yammering about Bush v Gore 2000 ; you're lost on gun control so this is what you do

I do not, as you implied in your earlier post think the NRA whispered in the ears of 5 SCOTUS judges and got them to find for Bush.

I do wish they could have found a way to constitutionally do the right thing, and let the hand recounts finish even if meant going beyond the deadline -- but they reasoned otherwise. The solved the dilemma in a way that allowed Florida officials give it to Bush. And it was a damn shame.

Now, back to the topic at hand, if Gore had been an outspoken critic of the AWB instead declaring he would renew it, then the recounts might not even had been necessary.
