Assault weapons ban won't be in Dems' gun bill

[koalabear]

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has decided that a proposed assault weapons ban won't be part of a gun control bill the Senate plans to debate next month, the sponsor of the ban said Tuesday, a decision that means the ban stands little chance of survival.

Instead, Sen. Dianne Feinstein said she will be able to offer her ban on the military-style firearms as an amendment. Feinstein is all but certain to need 60 votes from the 100-member Senate to prevail, but she faces solid Republican opposition and likely defections from some moderate Democrats.

It failed that's what. According to Reid, it wouldn't gotten 40 votes.

It was a dumb idea and they realized it.

Isn't that the way your system is supposed to work?

I'm sure it's not the end of it...

See! I said this was DF grandstanding and it wouldn't go anywhere. This is Congress, it's not like they want to get anything done.

The USofA is a gun culture and it is bone deep so grandma's guns will be handed down. Plus, the NRA is so powerful the gun companies, who really don't have much of a problem with gun control (so what if guns are registered), are cowered not wanting to lose money from a boycott. CCW classes are at a record high.

Laughable. S&W went along with the Clinton gun ban. S&W went bankrupt shorty thereafter.

It proves your ignorance, much like S&W's.

Nice edit.
