The fight to renew a favored ban on assault weapons effectively died Tuesday after the lead Senate sponsor of a bill to continue restrictions on the sale and manufacture of some semi-automatic weapons conceded defeat.

Good riddance, you unconstitutional MF'er

A survey released this week by the University of Pennsylvania's National Annenberg Election Survey in Philadelphia found that 68 percent of Americans want Congress to extend the gun law.

I'll bet that 95% of those people don't have the slightest clue as to what the AWB's provisions are - and I'm sure that at least 95% of those 95% think that "assault weapons" are full auto guns.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, questioned the effectiveness of the current ban....

Putz. The AWB must die because it is unconstitutional, not because it is "ineffective." What, if we became a police state and some gun control scheme successfully reduced crime then he'd be for it? Moron! However, I'll at least give him the credit for being against renewal.

Oh, Diane: F U!! Same for Admiral Kennedy, Chuck the Schmuck and that hag, Sarah Brady.

19 out of 20? I suspect it's more like 199 out of 200.

68% of WHO? Americans? None of the Americans I know. Not one single one I've talked to about this thinks the AWB was having ANY effect at all! Most the rest will even agree after a bit that the correct, legal way for the FedGov to restrict them AT ALL would be only after Amending the Constitution. Now that would be a political fight that would make the record books.

Makes me wanna go shoot something...

Oh yeah... Here's that thread I started about Sunday....
