Kennedy is now repeatedly using "Sniper Rifles", "Assault Weapons" and "Armor Piercing Ammunition" repeatedly, in a fevered attempt to link these buzzwords.
No wonder our taxes are so high. Why are they calling roll before every single one of these ammendments? I could have had this project over with by lunchtime. Our wonderful government at work.
If you're not angry enough yet, read through "Guns in America: An Interactive Guide" on the MSNBC page. I suspect it was ghost-written by the Brady Bunch.
Wait, did I just hear that Nelson (FL) voted Aye??? He just voted Aye for the other one. This stupid dolt doesn't even have the common sense to realizt the two amendments contradict each other, even after Craig just said it for them in 5-year-old-speak.
Why are there so many yesses??? Don't they understand that the last vote, which passed by a VERY large margin, was in direct contradiction to this one? i am throroughly convinced now that we are headed for serious trouble with this type of leadership in this country.

Repub's and Dem's are nothing more than names..... They hide under a name to get elected- no matter what thier views are. You have to look at the past record to see if they are for FREEDOM- or against..........
His comment: "Make no mistake. There will be no bill containing the AWB or the gun show amendment that sees the light of day."
They are about to kill it. They will vote in the next few minutes. He did say, as we thought, that there will be enough Dems to vote for S. 1805 to pass it.
However, there are several ways to make sure it never goes anywhere. The most simple is to never let it out of committee.
