It's too late to wish for conservative candidates for the sunset now if they weren't elected back then.

That's rather obvious - and I'm glad that the NRA tried to do something about it in 2002. If they hadn't, I might not have continued to be a member. I just hope that the NRA is dead serious about this issue, and is not willing to compromise it away in return for S. 659. I recall reading that it is, and that no such compromise will be accepted - I hope that this is true. If so, and if we win on both issues (which we should), then the NRA deserves major kudos.

It's not very obvious to a lot of people. If the votes simply aren't there or we're stabbed in the back by someone on a committee, I'm not going to blame the NRA or the Republican Party. I'll only blame those individuals who caused the sunset to fail. I won't even blame Bush because I already knew where he stood, again, BEFORE THE ELECTION.
