I dunno... the anti-gun crowd definitely does *not* want the legislation granting firearms manufacturers broad immunity from liability lawsuits to pass in any form. This looks like a "poison pill" to me. Of course, while we're looking at this, they're probably working on another plan. Besides being attached to this bill as an amendment, is not Feinstein's AW Ban re-up (and more) still active as a stand-alone?
Indeed it is. As active as any bill languishing in committe can be that is. It will never be passed as a standalone, but if she fails in getting it attached to this bill, there are many others she can attach it to. The original ban passed as part of the omibus Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994.(H.R.3355).
