From what I've heard, the lawsuit protection bill for the gun industry was sabre rattling towards the democrats financial backers, but with the ruling on finance reform today, the sabre has no blade. It's understood in NJ that the bill will come to vote in the Senate, where they almost have the votes, then including a few GOP crossovers for the House, it will make the news. Jim, I've been here a long time now, the WashPost isn't doing anything more than floating balloons for the people pushing the renewal, they are not creating the agenda for this one. Too much money is at stake for the trial lawyers, who want to use the renewal bill to counter the lawsuit protection bill. And let me add, I haven't believed an article in the WashPost this millenium yet.

This site once railed against the use of words such as fringe, the "fringe" should continue to have a seat at this FR table, and should continue to be the mainstream conservative view on the 2A issue. I contend that this will be a point of contention here in a few months,
