Hasn't Congress adjourned for the summer today?
If so, I am obligated to state that I was wrong about the pubs in Congress, at least Delay and the house. I really didn't expect them to hold off the AWB extension.
For the dems to get a new semi ban they have to start from scratch in the fall during the final run up to the election.
That will be tough going.
The concealed carry for cops could be positive, if it is a step on the way to true national concealed carry for citizens.
A lot depends on who holds Congress.
Guess I'm voting (republican) after all, at least as long as Cheney stays on the ticket.
Guess that means I will be badgering and browneating everyone unfortunate enough to come in contact with me into voting too.
Yes, they're supposed to adjourn but I heard them talking on FOX News this morning like Bush might ask them to stay to implement the 9-11 commission's recommendations.
...badgering and browneating ...
WTF?
Brow beating.
I think they have a final week before it sunsets. However, in that time it would have to go through the committee, go through the Senate and I think there isn't that much time. There would have to be complete co-operation between both parties. The votes aren't there. That's why the NRA had said the fight was during the last elections. We needed our votes to stop it.
Ignoring the Republican majority, kicking RINOs out and returning control to the anti dems would have put the AWB as an amendment to an unrelated Bill. It was supposed to happen on this police officers CCW Bill. When that didn't happen, I was relieved.
It just won't be over for the anti's. Expect more articles in the papers, possibly something as bad as Matt's book, Enemies, Foreign and Domestic and the dems working behind the scenes. The dems will never admit to destroying the Second Amendment. They'll continue to claim they support your use of a single shot .22 or an over and under.
The fat lady hasn't sung yet, and lets save the celebration until she does. If nothing else, the gun grabbers are sneaky. Not to mention underhanded and lying.
