There are too many voters, now, who don't remember the great Gun Control Wars of 1990-1994 (ish). Possibly a few congressthings that don't remember them, either.

We need to dredge up all that ancient history ... make sure it doesn't happen again. Getting the sunset clause in the original ugly-gun ban was a huge stroke of luck. Or genius.

I don't want to spend another ten years waiting for it to expire, and I sure don't want to have any more idiot laws that I need to pressure my congressthings to repeal.

You have to understand, the past doesn’t have any affect on liberals. A rational argument, like the AW ban did exactly zero, has no effect. Not one vote will be swayed by that argument.

It’s a common fact, one can’t be liberal and rational at the same time.
