Link doesnt work, but I imagine congress will wait to see what happens in DC/Heller and will still likely let it die...

They havent been able to pass another AWB since 96 and it sure as hell wont happen in an election year...

See if this link works.

Hope it does.

Like Ridge, I don't see it going anywhere this year.

What might be more interesting to note, is that it was introduced by a REPUBLICAN.
And, that ALL THREE cosponsors "so far" are REPUBLICANS.
Hmmmmm...........

Wouldn't matter if it did pass, Heller v. DC would invalidate it damn near immediately. Like the NRA is saying.. Heller isn't the end all be all, but a very serious beginning.
