Tom Delay and Roy Blunt have promised to let AW Ban "sunset." ... but did they promise not to pass something worse?

Yes. Delay controls what is brough to the floor for a vote. He has sworn not to let the AW extension or anything like it get to the floor. Besides, you hear very, very few Rats even mentioning gun control. Both the Rats and the Pubs have been burnt by gun control and aren't eager to stick their (bleep) back into the fire.

I am not aware of anything-either way. Only that the plan is to let it "sunset..." Antis of course have offerred up several tidbits of unconstituional crap, but they always do. This legislation stands little chance. Recall in 1996 House voted to repeal the AW Ban. Attempts died in the Senate. Republicans have solid hold on House-more so if SCOTUS doesn't rule against TX re-districting plan.

I believe this bill also requires that firearms background checks expire after 24 hours.
