The bad news: it might pass in the Senate, but only by a 51-49 vote.
The good news: it will NEVER get introduced in the House. THus, it is dead meat as we type.

Funny isn't it, but none of the guns that assasinated or attempted assasinations of our presidents or other political pundits are included in this ban.
Lincoln - single shot derringer.
Garfield and McKinley - revolvers.
J. Kennedy - a bolt action rusty Italian army rifle.
R. Kennedy - a cheap .22 revolver.
King - a pump action Browning hunting rifle.
Reagan - .22 revolver.
Ford - revolver.
Proof positive that it is not the weapon, but the shooter behind it, that is, the deadliest weapon. Gun laws are all about getting the politicos re-elected.
I would feel most well armed with a lever action Winchester in .30-30 and a S&W .38 K frame. Not banned a bit. Got weapons slated for banning, but got weapons un-banned and effective.

If they want to "renew" the "Assualt Weapons Bill" why don't they just ammend it to delete the sunset clause?
Because THIS IS NOT A RENEWAL OF ANYTHING. This is MORE laws resticting more things that are currently legal. There are politicians who know exactly what they are doing when they write this. Many of the "moderate" legislators will will go along with it.
Even if this doesn't pass as written, there will be compromising and ammending when it is debated. Something could still pass and it could still be more restrictive than current legislation.
Unfortunately, there are too many gun owners who are the one-box-of-ammo-a-year deer hunters who are either ignorant or simply don't care.
I really don't understand why MOST politicians will say it's okay to have some arms but not others. If people are too dangerous to be trusted with the listed weapons in this bill, should they be trusted with any weapon? I realize there are a few politicians who would ban all if they could, but those compromisers are the real problem.
This bill clearly establishes that guns should only be possessed for "sporting" purposes; the definition of sporting being vague intentionally.
If this does pass, what will be introduced ten years (or sooner) from now?
The NRA says they opposed the "Assault Weapons Ban" "Renewal". They also say the "laws on the books" should be more strictly enforced. If this passes, will they then support it?
