Yes, I agree that we are not home free, but there is a growing sense that the AW Ban is a sham and a bad law. The House leadership has no intention of revisiting the issue (Hastert's spokesman said so), and Republicans are damned sure to remember the lesson that Al Gore learned in West Virginia, Arkansas and Tennessee in 2000: there are millions of single-issue, pro-gun voters who will crucify you if you betray them. From Bush's POV, he can make it clear to Congressional Repubs that he in no way wants to see that damned AW or Mag Ban on his desk ready for a sig 6 weeks before he stands for re-election.

Why should he care, though? At that point, it will be illegal for anyone except a member of the media to mention the legislation, and the media will either toss the story down the memory hole or spin it into illegibility. Thanks to McCain-Feingold, the safest time to ban guns is right before an election!

Let's not stop hounding our congresscritters on this issue. The press-democrat party axis will try to manufacture support for extending the ban.
