Sheeple are easy to stampede.
This could be a bargaining chip for another issue. Dems end the judges fillibust if this passes? Tax cuts? Other stumbling block?
Or as a Lautenberg type Midnight Special? An attachment to another bill? The reps didn't even read the patriot act.
Out in Minnesota, CCW was attached as a rider to steamroll the dems that used a procedural method to kill it last time. Nothing is to say that it can't be done the other way.
Columbine II.....with an Arab shooter(I think that could be Port Arthur there.)
Or A "Compromise bill" passes that takes out some of the other models....and leaves the Attorney General portion in, which is the worst part. Or takes out the AG part, and leaves the rest in. Or leaves the M1 Garand and bans the others.
There are too many variables that factor in here.
