Not a flame, just a reality check.

There is nothing in the law restricting imported high cap mags (Feinstein wants to fix that) nor is there any restriction on selling US-made preban mags (she'll fix that too).

Feinstein can do whatever she wants, but it doesn't mean a hill of beans until George W. Bush signs the renewal into law. (Which he has promised to do when the bill reaches his desk)

So, in reality it'll be Feinstein and Bush who'll be fixing these "loopholes."

The difference between Feinstein and Schumer and Bush in "fixing the loopholes" is a subtle one since as you said, they all have to work together to screw us, but it's worth mentioning.

Feinstein and Schumer want to screw us and could care less about the Constitution or our rights or our feelings. Bush (I think) really is with us and doesn't want any part of this BS. However, Bush is a political survivor and will (probably) sign anything they get to his desk, now that he has committed himself to signing it in the hope of deflecting heat from himself.

So is it better to be screwed by someone who really wants to do it, or by someone who just says "oh well, now I have to sign it, sorry about that"? It really doesn't matter once we're screwed. I just hope Bush comes home to his base and grows some Texas-sized pelotas in case that awful renewal does somehow make it to his desk.

Wouldn't that be refreshing to see a politician stand up and say "I cannot sign this unconstitutional, ineffective law"?
