Lets stop this nonsense in the Congress!
Yeah, just like last time!
Oh, wait. It passed last time, didn't it. Never mind.
Pardon my pessimism.

Concerning the "1994 Crime Bill" wherein this "assault weapon ban" was implemented...No Title Given
Snip..."This bill is centrist and bipartisan to its very bone," he told members of the International Convention of B'nai B'rith in Chicago via satellite.
Snip...The existing crime bill was passed by the House 235-195 on Sunday, with 46 Republicans supporting it.

And if memory serves the Republicans had the majority in both houses in 1994...

When the uslessness of actions deigned to persuade representatives to vote as their constituents desires is fully recognized as fruitless, then, and only then, will Americans really wake up and smell the coffee. G_d help us, for the battle is fully joined.

It was the 103rd Congress that passed the bill, but there was a pledge to do away with the bill that was never fulfilled.

The Republicans WON control of both houses in 1994, and took control in JANUARY 1995

The dems had control in 1994. They lost in the 94 elections and took control in 95.
