That would be difficult considering Harry Reid Adjourned the Senate yesterday and said he doesn’t plan to even call it back into session until the last week in January...

I wouldn’t believe a damned thing Harry Ried says.That guy would call the senate back into session in a New York minute if it would benefit Obama and push through a more rigid Assault weapons bill.You can count on it.

Yes, but unless the constitution has changed, there is the little matter of the House. I have been calling the office of my Representatives and the Republican leadership and have been told flat out "There is no Assault Weapons Ban. Period." No bill has been introduced. No debate is scheduled, nothing is on the calender, and its is not part the Republican leaderships agenda". (I was actually told by Representative Capito's office "They aren't going to touch the AWB with a ten foot poll.") There has not even been a bill introduced into the committee process (Pelosi introduced one right after the Sandy Hook Shooting, but it died in committee with the Republican Chairman taking no action or even scheduling debate, at the end of the last congress.)

Now I'm certainly not saying concern isn't warranted, and we shouldn't be calling our reps and keeping the pressure up (like I said I've been burning up the phone lines myself). But saying some nonexistent Assault Weapons Ban is not only imminent, but is virtually assured of passage is nothing but hyperbole, unless somebody can provide some evidence to the contrary, I don't see the Republican leadership ever even letting such a bill get out of the committee process.
