They combined the legislation. It is the way of the rat and they let them do it and poison the bill.

The rats wanted the legal protection bill defeated and put the AWB in a fix.

So that is exactly what happened.

Nice political maneuvering by the admin and GOP leadership.

The GOP lost their issue, but it was a sacrificial lamb to begin with.

Passed 52-47

What's up??

The amendment to S. 1805 to extend the Assault Weapons Ban passed by 52-47. However, as explained on this thread, all of S. 1805 - including the renewal of that odious POS law limiting our RKBA - was subjected to a 50 megaton nuking. Thus, the renewal of the AWB is NOT a fact - and the clock is ticking toward 9/14/04.

Feinswein and Upchuck won't be able to sneak the renewal through - too many folks are watching, and calling their Congresscritters - and when the sun rises on 9/14, we'll all be able to buy normal capacity mags for normal prices again.
