Look at it this way -- they at least had the decency to put this piece in the opinion section, instead of the Front Page News section.

More Guns -- Less Crime.

More gun laws -- More fatalities.

The Dems didn't have the stones to push this - they lost Congress after it passed the first time.

Congress chooses not to support a weapons ban that would only be obeyed by law abiding citizens and infringe on their constitutional rights.

"Several lawmakers lost re-election..." because of the NRA.
I'm the NRA, thank you.

Non-crminals with guns don't kill people, criminals with guns kill people.

Just for fun, let's do it freedom's way. Everyone who wants to have a gun for protection, fun, or just because the Second Amendment recognizes this right, can purchase any gun they have the money to buy.
Those who do not wish to accept the responsibility to protect their lives, their families, and the freedom of their country, can cower under the bed as they dial 911 and get a busy signal.
That's how freedom works.

For those who believe the ban should not have been renewed, the Star says otherwise.

Me too! However, look at this is
'Payback is a B*tch' for the unconstitutional
invocation of Senate cloture rules to prevent
up-or-down votes on Federal Judicial
Nominees who would otherwise be confirmed.

Then, pop a cold beer and smile!

Yeah...when I read the title, I thought they decided to extend the ban!
