Actually, my point was meant to be denigrating toward Collins and Snowe for voting to extend the AWB. In a small way, I contributed to that, by voting GOP instead of lesser evil. GOP has my vote. I'm not happy with the GOP.

Let me qualify that last statement a bit -- I'm not happy with the votes cast by Collins and Snowe re: AWB, nor their positions on certain other issues. In some regards I am disappointed in the GOP, in other regards I am happy with the GOP.
Opportunity did not mature into fruit, on this one. Too bad. I think that the firearms industry will survive, and the direction of court decisions is to dismiss frivolous lawsuits anyway (i.e., legislation is superfluous to some degree). Better the act die, than have an extension of the AWB. Lots of Senators will be able to use the history of this bill to buffalo voters in their favor.
