Updated Title: Gun Bill Is Dead
Reed is up urging defeat of the whole bill. Craig is urging defeat as well. Good.
After a week of debate, compromise, and work, both sides are saying No! Rather a waste, I would say. But I am glad. The immunity bill is not worth the amendments.
Update: Hearing lots of Nos and only one yes. Good.
Update2: A thought: This will likely be the last talk of gun control until after the election, which would mean the Assault Weapons Ban is done. Good.
Update3: Not passed. 8 to 90. SayUncle is currently doing the happy dance with his roommate Balkie who is from an undisclosed location.

Look on the bright side: if they hadn’t wasted all this time, they might have considered some even WORSE legislation.
I can’t imagine what, but I suppose it’s possible.

On or after september 14, 2004 assuming the gun bill is not renewed by then, yes you can.

It must have been the emails I sent to my Senators. Yeah, that’s it. I asked, they did it. Yea me!
