The AWB never stood a chance.
Every democrat knew it.
But they do talk a good game

You might want to pay attention to your state legislatures. Lots of fringe group laws being proposed. Most will go nowhere, of course, but a few may slip through.
The President is in MN today. Originally to discuss immigration, but now will be talking about his gun control plans. Our legislature is having hearings right now, and our governor can be a little flighty at times.
"May you live in interesting times"
"May you come to the attention of those in authority"
"May you find what you are looking for."
Purported Chinese curses, in order of severity

If you think restrictions is what we need...
How many mass murders in a year we had let's say 40 years ago. Did the gun laws relaxed since then? No, but different things changed. Education went down. Ignorance (and arrogance) went up. Definitions of right and wrong washed out. It's OK to lie now, even for elected officials (seems, nobody minds their lies even before they get elected). Obviously, Hollywood did not do enough to kill the good morals, so video games appeared. And if in the beginning kids were killing all day long unreal monsters with unreal weapons, now they are shooting people with shotguns on their screens. Do it long enough on the screen, and "You shall not murder" gets wiped out of your mind. Should I go on?

I don't think the bill as proposed by Feinstein stands a chance, but we're in for a long 4 years, during which they will certainly try to attach pieces of her bill to other legislation. We're in for a long fight.

The NRA has about 300 members of congress rated pro-gun.
Obama backed down when he signed his 23 executive actions, he pretty much just tightened up existing firearm laws.
As written the AWB will not pass. If anything ever passes, it will be a diluted much different version.
I recommend:
1. Keep writing your local, state, and federal representatives
2. Support or join the NRA

Its not dead, it will never be dead!!
Seems not long ago I was told
The health care law will never pass congress.
The courts will not allow the health care law to stay.
Obama cant win a second term.
Obama does not want your guns.
Taxes will only go up on the top one percent of earners.
Soon I can add, the assault weapons ban that will never pass!

Note that the President is traveling to Minnesota on Monday expressly to push his anti-2A agenda. He certainly hasn't given up his goal. We'd be foolish to underestimate the administration's capacity to propagandize the nation.

You bet they will. But, to be realistic, it is not just the Democrats that are for gun control with the Republicans against. It's not that clear cut. There are pro gun and anti gun people in both parties. I think it's a mistake to believe that just because someone is a Republican or a "non-lib" that he or she will be on our side. Frankly, I don't trust any of them.

And we must be especially diligent on the state level. It seems the lunatic fringe resides in state government. Witness the New England states that are passing draconian legislation. I'm waiting for the shoe to drop in my state of Illinois. I'm sure Rahm and his cronies in state government are cooking up something repugnant.
I got this info from my niece this morning:
Senate Judiciary chair rejects Dianne Feinstein’s assault weapons ban - Politicssource - timesunion.com - Albany NY
I played all those "horrible violent video games" while growing up as a kid and I have yet to go out and commit mass murder along with the hundreds of thousands of other kids who have and still to this day play those "type" of games. Using the video game industry as a scapegoat for mass murder is just as bad as blaming the AR-15. Being a bunch of hypocrites will not get to the root of the problem.

Seems to me that a high-cap mag ban will accomplish more than an AWB in terms of restricting gun rights. One possibility is a "compromise" of a 25-round limit.

Joewisc,
No! No! No!
30=25=20=15=10=5=0
These people are IDEOLOGICAL ZEALOTS PERIOD.
COMPROMISE IS NOT OUR OPTION,
They'll compromise till next week, next month, next year,
UNTIL THEY HAVE IT ALL!!!!!

Of course we have to remain vigilants!!! There are more than 20 Gun Control bills in the Congress right now. Joint NRA, write your reps every week, this battle is just starting.
