The "PATRIOT" act and domestic wiretapping have infringed our rights 10x more than any assault weapons ban, but you won't hear a peep out of the Red Staters about it.
I doubt the "PATRIOT" act would have happened under Kerry. Given the size and scope of the document, it had to have been written well in advance, just waiting for the right moment to be introduced, and with a name like that, under the circumstances, it would be tantamount to political suicide to oppose it.
