Please explain further about the "sunset" aspect and what exactly is our, and our "representatives", responsibility.

Basically, the parts of the 1994 "crime bill" that make magazines of larger than 10 rounds, "semiautomatic assault weapons" and the like illegal automatically goes away on the date mentioned as long as congress & the pres don't enact a law to extend it or make it permanent.

As this is very close to the most repugnant, unconstitutional, prior restraint piece of garbage ever enacted, we should do whatever we can to ensure that it is not made permanent. The rats, of course, are looking to do just the opposite, with the "assault weapon" re-demonization going on now - HCI/BCPGV included making permanent the ban as part of their "anti-terrorism" recommendations just a week or two ago.

I'm with you, man - lets dump this turkey. Anyone that votes to extend it should be immediately tarred and feathered.
