This “ban” AFAIK, is a repeat of the old ban, including the 10 year sunset. To be honest, that’d be a lot better than a whole new ban that actually bans something and which also does not have a sunset clause. We’re on thin ice here with the dems at the helm with such large majorities in the House and Senate, and Obama in command.
Now, if we could count on the 41-42 Republicans in the senate to simply filibuster any ban, that would be ideal.

Introduced in June, last action in July. It’s not going anywhere for a while. Prepare, but don’t get alarmed about it.

I doubt we can count on that many reps. to filibuster but I think we can count on at least one of Al.’s senators and maybe both, plus my congressman.
