Reply #108: It's a regional issue.

If you live in a suburban/rural area where hunting/guns are a tradition (like I do), it's a bigger issue. But those areas are already fairly conservative/Republican.

If you live in cities/urban areas, I think the concerns of AW outweigh the limitations that that the law presents.

I have a .22 that I have fired in 25 years. Personally, I don't know why you need to have armor piecing bullets to hunt deer. If you need to shoot a deer at a 1000 yards, you aren't much of a hunter, anyway.

Anyone that would vote against Kerry/Edwards based on this vote is not too bright, IMHO. Perhaps these people need to suck it up and put the interests of this country ahead of their personal obsessions with guns.
