I wonder just one thing: If this bill comes up for a vote and fails, is it an even bigger victory? Can Hassert be trying to knock off more Democrats by energizing gun owners against those who vote for this disgusting legislation? It's certainly not the way I would like to see it done, because once it's on the floor for a vote anything can happen, but does anyone else think this might be part of their thinking?

In my opinion, this article is more of a sign of frustration and anxiety brought out in RKBA fanatics (of which I am one) by the President's statement that he supports the extension ( making permanent)of the Clinton/Feinswine '94 Sport Utility Rifle Ban, than it is an absolute slam of the GOP. We need to marshall a lot of resources to "lean" on the GOP, the Pres. and the Congress NOT to re-up this worthless and unconstitutional travesty. Threats to withold votes/money might go a long way to help the GOP along. So far, all that has really occurred is a few people have opened their mouths and said a few stupid, premature, and perhaps unimportant things. There is still 18 months before the sunset; I think this fight is going to get more and more nasty as we get closer to that date. So, those with a weak stomach should lay in a supply of antacids.

I think this may be the case. Lately, "gun control" has been a great means for picking off RATS.

I have to agree. Any Democrats (such as Byrd from West Virginia) that insist on gun control, will have a difficult time explaining this.

At a time of raised alert level, we need all the firemarms we can get.
