It seems that, at this particular moment, there are no pending bills
of that sort on the Federal level.
That doesn't mean much, though. The reversal of the so-called assault
gun ban dealt the anti-gunners a real blow,and trhe re-election of
Bush dealt another. They were really counting on Kerry winning, as
he's never met an anti-gun bill he didn't like enough to either
co-sponsor or vote for.
There will be more, count on it. The anti-gunners haven't given up.
You can go here to see what, for example, the Brady Bunch is doing:
