The last attempt at an AWB had a handful of supporters in the House and NO companion bill in the Senate. It was DOA.

I agree that a very small minority of members of Congress have "banning guns" on their agenda and such bills will be introduced every session...and it will be DOA again.

No member of Congress can be prevented from introducing a bill....there are 10,000+ bills (and resolutions) introduced each session of Congress....at best, maybe 100-200 are enacted.

There are bills introduce every session to make Christianity the official religion of the US.

As a DC resident, I am not worried about the bill that we see every other year to cede Washington, DC back to Maryland.

Dennis Kucinich will introduce his annual bill to create a cabinet level Department of Peace.

Objective observers take these for what they are.

unfortunately, the NRA, although it knows the truth about the recent gun bills as well as any inside observer, is not objective and uses these "no-chance/doa" bills and grossly exaggerations their remotest (zero) possibility of passage for fund raising purposes.
