Buy time for two years, BS !!
We need somebody with the cohones to tell FatTeddy to stuff it.
The NRA, and it's director Craig, need to go back to the original Bush/NRA position -- S. 1805 needs to go forward as a "clean bill."
The again, who is sitll suffering under the delusion that we are still free? Try and open carry a firearm ANYWHERE today and see how long it takes for the gendarmes to come ask you what you are doing. I live in Austin, TX and I wouldn't care to try it. So much for the cowboy mythos. ;-)
There is still time before the vote for them to reconsider the amendment. Failing that, there is still the committee. Failing that, there is still the President who clearly stated that he wanted a "clean" bill. Not holding my breath that Rove will give George back his Veto stamp, but you never know. He has to break it in sometime, may as well be on this core issue.
Failing all of that... it very well could be hog feedin' time. Again. For the upmteenth time.
