The AWB renewal is dead.
It is not necessary for Dubya to expound upon the Constiution, the Second Amendment and Patrick Henry the way some knee-jerk "conservatives" demand.
All Congress has to do is ignore it, and they can easily do that if it stays off the radar screen.
It would be nice if Dennis Hastert would say so, however.

Right, but if that comes to pass, then the mouthbreathers will be shouting that Bush wasn't strong enough, that he didn't use his office to push for a repeal of the 1934 NFA, they're not going to make the mistake of voting for a gun grabber like Bush ever again, etc.
One thing I do admire about the Democrats and liberals is that they will take their victories however they get them - legislation, through the courts, through Hollywood, however. We need to be the same way - Bush doesn't have to pount the podium and shout the "Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you!" quote for us to win this battle.
But, some gun owners would rather be a persecuted minority, for that feeds their martyr complex...
From where I'm sitting, it looks like Bush does the absolute minimum in defense of the 2nd Amendment. Unfortunately, he's a real chip off the old block.
Do you really believe that we "knee jerk conservatives" should just roll over like a "lewinsky democrat" when we believe that we are about to be, uh, screwed?
The rants, the table pounding, and the threats were all necessary and appropriate. Apparently the message is getting through to ALL of these political whores.
It may not be "necessary" but it would be nice. It would certainly raise my morale several notches.

But Lizzard Face, Fineswine and pretty much every talking head in the country aren't going to let it stay off the radar screen. Several convenient bloodletting may also help keep it "on screen".
