Everything on that list already is illegal for the masses to own. Perhaps you should do a little research. You might find out when the AWB was passed the very next election the Dems lost control of the House and Senate. Polls may say one thing, but voters are telling you something else. Much like the pre Nov. 2 polls or the exit polls from the election itself. This is also why when it came up for renewal, noone in the House or Senate wanted anything to do with it. I couldn't understand why Kerry didn't just leave it alone. Maybe he thought having his picture taken with a few shotguns, with one of which would have been illegal under the AWB btw, would shake his voting record in the Senate and his promotion the same on the campaign trail.
It even cost Al Gore the election last time around. Someday, hopefully soon, the Democrats will realize polls are misleading at best. I predict as soon as the Democrats leave these and other extremist views behind they will become a viable alternative to voting Republican once again. Shoot, even some of the old Democrats don't believe in their party anymore, Zel Miller is a perfect example.
