Pretty scary that only 6 senators are the margin keeping an AWB ban from being passed!
Very, lets hope they stick to their guns... (pun intended)

I'm afraid that what is going to happen is this thing gets shot down, someone slips in a magazine limit, and the republocrats call it a compromise instantly turning the U.S. into one big Massachusetts.

Even if it made it out of the senate what are the odds it makes it out of the house?
That would be political suicide for many - not too concerned about Rs doing that. They are already reeling from the last election. Never say never though.
Even if it passes the Senate, it still has to pass the House. The House members are far more anti-gun control than the Senate.
Not great.
that's a lot better than we usually get.
Feinstein is hoping survivor testimonials, along with the images of the slain Sandy Hook students, most of them 6-year- olds, will push these Democrats to reconsider their opposition.
“The message to Democrats is, ‘See what your silence does?’ There will be more of these. These won’t end,” Feinstein told reporters.
“If just reading the list of beautiful names and looking into the eyes of some of the pictures of the children slain doesn’t do something to the conscience of America, nothing I can say or do will,” she said.
Maybe I missed something, but do we vote based on emotion or what the Constitution of the United States says? She's such a flea bag.
FIFY
Well on the bright side, if she looses the senate and of course the house isn't likely to approve it, she will probably retire to live out the rest of her years in obscurity. We have to have a party when that happens..

Teddie didn't retire -- he died with his legislative boots on. I expect that Feinstein will do the same, unfortunately.
She's in the majority, has huge seniority, and there is a Democratic president for the next four years. I don't think she's going anywhere.
A "compromise" will be made and something will be passed. At a minimum we're looking at a national mag capacity limit. Watch and see.
i doubt it.
the dems could have a cure for aids and cancer and the repubs in the house would vote it down.
i think universal background checks comes from this.
Thats a pretty stupid statement

They lack the votes until it is made more reasonable, which means not reasonable.

Each one of these "pro gun" senators has a price. We saw it in the healthcare bill. Maybe Alaska will get some exemption, cause who the hell actually cares what goes on there. Maybe Angus will accept a nice new federal building to colo the servers for whatever stupid new databases they dream up.
Oh and don't expect Scott Brown to swoop in and save the day. He's all for it.
