A "poison pill" is an ammendment to a bill that makes it so unpalpable to those who in support of the original bill that they vote to kill it.
In this case, Feinstein managed to attach an AWB extension to the Gun Manufacturer's Immunity Bill, which caused those supporting the original bill to vote against it. (90-8)
