We have already lobbied congress on the issue, and will continue to do so.

NEW YORK: “Attorney General Eric Holder’s push for the renewal of the assault weapon ban has put Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) between a rock and a hard place,” The Hill reports.

Dingy Harry and Stretch are just waiting until they get their socialist agenda passed, then when the time is ripe, and there is blood to dance in, they'll "cave" and go with the President's "emergency" request to pass the new and improved, and permanent, AWB.

Meanwhile maybe they'll move HR 45, which has the somewhat more innocuous name of "Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009"
