""Although I voted against the ban a decade ago, over the past 10 years it has reduced crime dramatically and has made our streets safer," Warner said. "The legislation also has protected the rights of gun owners better than many of us predicted." "

Somebody take this guy to the woodshed and set him straight. I can't, I am not near where he is at.

Just what we all need - more legislation. The republican hypocrites think we are all lock stepping with their idiocy.

This bill is the result of the endless law suits that intend to destroy the US domestic firearms industry.

If this bill is not passed, the socialists will outspend the gun makers via law suits. Even if they don't win, they win.

This bill needs to pass without ammendments.

With the help of RINOs. Its DOA on arrival in the House. It will never come up for a vote there.

The House has already passed the liability bill, without the AWB. If the Senate passes it with the AWB, or any other anti arms rights stuff, there will be a conference committee and their will be a vote to accept or reject the committee's version of the bill.

If you guys want to live beyond the reach of these unconstitutional federal meddlings....or at least in a place where the state government is more likely to take your side against the feds... the place to be is New Hampshire.

Also they appear poised to adopt the most gun-friendly laws in the nation (currently they are merely in the top 4).
