I think we all have a right to a \u201chigh five\u201d over Harry Reid\u2019s announcement that the assault weapons ban is going to be dropped from the Democrats\u2019 current legislative package in the Senate.\u00a0 However, it\u2019s far too early to declare victory and go home.<\/p>\n
Dianne Feinstein has already announced that she\u2019ll try to restore it as a late amendment to other legislation before the session is over.\u00a0 And there are still the matters of the proposed ban on standard capacity magazines, and the \u201cuniversal background check\u201d remaining before Congress.\u00a0 The latter, of course, has particularly huge loopholes which promise to criminalize the innocent, and <\/i>create the gun registration which, historically, has been a precursor to gun confiscation.<\/p>\n
And, the fight continues in numerous theaters.\u00a0 New York, where the already passed and ironically named \u201cSAFE Act\u201d waits to trickbag citizens of the Empire State.\u00a0 Colorado, where Governor Hickenlooper is expected to sign a truly Draconian anti-gun package into law this very day.\u00a0 Connecticut, where some totally off-the-wall legislation is under discussion at the state house. And the rest of the country.<\/p>\n
