Some good news
First, Harry Reid strips the AW and magazine bans from gun control bill. Not too surprising; the last thing Reid would want is symbolic legislature that puts Demo Senators, and thus the Demo majority, at risk. Sen. Feinstein says she'll offer it as floor amendments anyway, but I suspect he's arguing against it. It's one thing for a California or NY Senator with a secure anti-gun constituency to see those as a good thing, another thing for a Senator from Montana to be put on the spot. Reid's action might be seen as a signal that a "no" vote won't be putting a Demo crosswise with the leadership.
Second, appropriations committees add several pro-gun provisions to their bills.
Just wait. They will try to put it back in as an amendment once the bill is on the senate floor.
