One more reason to believe that gun control, particularly an AWB, has no chance of passage in the 111th Congress (for those who still think it is on the Democrats agenda):
NY governor Patterson is expected to appoint Congresswoman Kirsten Gillebrand to Hillary Clinton's seat. Gillebrand is a gun-toting upstate NY centrist/right centrist Democrat with a 100% rating by the NRA.
Count one less vote for an AWB on the Democratic aisle in the Senate, effectively killing it for certain, if there ever was any doubt.

I just heard her described as a Democratic answer to Sarah Palin.....young mother, hunter, relatively new and unknown in national politics, fiscal conservative....but with a brain!
