KEEP in mind that both Ketchup boy and Breck girl (both for the ban) will be campaigning on super Tuesday so they will probably miss the vote!

I'm sure they'll find a way to make it back to DC, probalby courtesy of the USAF, in time for the late night, (or early morning most likely) vote.

[El Gato]

Agreed. According to Delay, the pro-AWB supporters are no where near close to getting enough votes. Let the Senate pass it. It won't become law just because 50 or so idiots think it should.

Only providing they are willing to throw out the baby (lawsuit protection) with the bath water (AWB, Gun show ban, ammo ban, whatever). The House has already passed it's own "clean' version of this bill, so it won't be a matter for committee, other than the conferance committee, which is where Delay has the most sway.

Id there an exact date that this law ends? Could there be a grace period of a few days or weeks were there isn't any ban and all purchases are legal and justified. Just curious? Cause I need pick up a few things and Ill be happy.

[Travis McGee]

I'm so used to being stabbed in the back by RINOs on the 2A, that I can already feel the spot where knife is going to go in this time.

[Ancesthntr]

The AWB expires on 9/13/04. I imagine that if it sunsets then, prices will be very elevated for a couple of months after that, as pent up demand for normal capacity mags and other verboten accessories will be high. After that, if it is renewed our lords and masters will likely make things retroactively illegal to 9/14/04. Ex post facto laws have been allowed to stand before, so it wouldn't surprise me this time.

[IGOTMINE]

Allen's office told me that he "promised Virginia" that he would vote for renewal. Move him into the "Y" column.

[OXENinFLA]

That and Pres. Bush has already said he would only sign S1805 if it was 'CLEAN'.

[IGOTMINE]

It would be his first veto.

[OXENinFLA]

Yup, to bad he didn't veto CFR.

[Cyber Liberty]

Put McCain on the "Yes" list. He's pushing for "closing the gun-show loophole" laws.

[unixfox]

I guess we'll find out next week who the traitors are.

Hell, we already know that!!

[TigersEye]

And there's a durn lot of 'em too!
