Whatever. My case of .223 was delivered by the nice UPS lady yesterday. Ms. Plastic Face is welcome to come and (try to) take it and the Bushmaster it is intended for.

Pelosi pledges compromise on assault weapons ban @ 10:29 am by Michael O'Brien
The ball is in Congress's court to craft a compromise in reinstating regulations on assault weapons, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) acknowledged Tuesday.
During an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America," Pelosi said that the Congress will work to find some middle ground between the previous ban, which expired in 2004, and the precedent laid by the Supreme Court in a ruling enumerating more concrete gunowners' rights last term.
"We have to find some level of compromise," Pelosi said, citing 53 victims of gun violence nationwide in less than a month. "And we have to rid the debate of the misconceptions people have about what gun safety means."
"Yes, it is," the Speaker said when asked if the ball is in Congress's court now that Democrats control the White House. "And we are just going to have to work together to come to some resolution."
Pelosi indicated that new regulations might entail registration and prohibitions on transporting some firearms across state lines.
The Speaker also expressed displeasure at the attachment of a gun rights provision to legislation that would grant Washington, D.C. a voting member of Congress.
"Right now, we have the debate in Congress over the District of Columbia wanting a vote on the floor of the House, something we all want. That's a civil rights issue," she said, pledging to find "middle ground" on the issue. "And, yet, they want to put a gun…bill, attach that to that. I don't — I don't think that that should be the price to pay to have a vote on the floor of the House."

Meaning giving her half of what she wants, but not getting anything in return. She'll be back next year for half of what's left.
HR-45, or it's key provisions, is a near shoe in at this point. Congress wants it, the Resident wants it, and MSM is shilling for both of them. No further "incidents" will be required...but then again if there is a conviently timed one, "never waste a crisis".
How about this for a compromise, Nancy? You don’t pass an “assault weapons” ban and a really pissed off crowd doesn’t tar and feather your ass. Work for you?
