I am somewhat taken aback as to how many posters so far have said "this won't pass." Really? Senate is a 50-50 split between R and D. Normally that would make me bite my nails about gun control. But the fact that 10 signed on to the Cornyn gun control package already shows a willingness for Republicans to sell gun rights down the river. So a new AWB has already passed the House, a more realistic 60-40 division in the Senate, and a Democrat in the White House who ran on a gun control platform. I think this has a very real chance of passing. The Heller decision was in 2008 and the Buren decision was just a few weeks ago. I do not even see the Supreme Court helping fight this ban until it has gone through all the lower appellate courts a few times. I know how my Congress critters are going to vote on this, against, and I am still emailing them every chance I get.
