Agreed...the CongressCritters have got to know that such a bill, if passed, would start a civil war, most likely, and at least result in the sort of low-intensit unpleasantness we've been seeing in Iraq...and I don't even like to THINK about how nasty you could make life for some poor Feds with that .270 of yours. You're prolly right, this particular -version- of the bill will die quick.
My big worry is this;
1: This bill dies. Another, slightly less onerous bill, is introduced. That one dies.
2: Still another, still slightly less onerous, but still more severe than the AWB, bill is introduced. This one, perhaps, allows only one "ugly gun" feature. This one passes.
3: Anti-gunners get more legal toys to play with, ATFE gets to shoot some folks, and the "pro gun" pols can point to the original bill and say "Yeah, this one's bad, but look what we saved you from!! Vote for us next term, because we saved you from THAT horrible monster!" While conveniantly leaving out the fact that the just-passed bill is only a slightly smaller monster, with green scales instead of pink fur.
Hopefully I'm wrong about this, but this is the same scenario that got us GCA68, the Crime Bill, and the AWB in the first place...compromising away our rights. It sucketh.
