Too little too late. It ain't happening because there is little support for it.

People still have their guns and don't really want assault weapons in their closet. I expect it to be renewed, possibly with some amendments. They will be lucky to keep handguns out of it.

I disagree, the very first day after GW's comments the White House received over 10,000 emails. This is going to be a real fight.

They do want to renew it and make amendments. Good God they just showed where they want to ban Potato Gun's. Give me a break.

Then I expect Bush II will enjoy the same chances for reelection that Bush I did. And the second novel from Uninjtended Consequences author John Ross should be out a few months before the election, so I'd expect that Texas senator Phil Graham's 1996 prediction that Americans would soon be hunting Democrats with dogs will likely come true.

But it won't just be Democrats.
