The mear fact that it has been introduced "now" is in no way indicative that it can and will be re-introduced in its current form (maybe even improved upon more) when and if the liberals gain control of the White House, and maintain even the slim-est of majorities in both houses...
If it dies in committee, that only tells me that it will be revived in a little over two years from now in that situation...
I would not be surprised if it is pushed through...Nothing is really there to stop it...And if the Liberal leadership determine that it will not damage the '08 elections, you can bet it'll get pushed, regardless if it passes or not...
And the failure will be complete when the President signs it, which he has stated he would...
The libs saw what happened when they abandoned the anti-gun rhetoric. I doubt if they will risk this gain before the 2008 elections are over.
If the libs maintain control ofr Congress and DO take over the Presidency, thye most definitely WILL introduce it.
If Bush is smart - and os far his intellect hasn't impressed me, he will eithjer veto the bill, exercise a "pocket veto" or consditionally veto it until it is retaylored to its original form.
Gun control is merely ONE issue in the continuing culture war against American traditons - but a VERY IMPORTANT ONE.
As someone said in his tagline "The Second Amendment is the reset button for American Government" and the libs KNOW it.
