RE: "assault" weapons ban--definite??
The AWB passed the House by one vote: 216 to 214. Here is the math on the AWB vote in the US House:
Democrats
For: 177
Against: 77
Not Voting: 2
Total 256
Independent
For: 1
Republicans
Against: 137
For: 38
Not voting:1
Total: 176
Barring a call for a new AWB by President Bush, itcannot pass the House.Thereabout 22 fewer Democrats in the House than when the firstAWB was passed.Contrary to popular belief, there are quite a few pro-gun Democrats inthe US House.
