Over the weekend, Sebastian commented on a PA legislator who had signed onto H.R. 1022, a new assault weapons ban introduced by Carolyn McCarthy. Pat Murphy Jumps on Gun Banning Bandwagon is the post by Sebastian that caught my eye and caused me to look and see if there was any new activity on H.R. 1022.
It seems that H.R. 1022 has gained a few new cosponsors since my last check. H.R. 1022 now has 66 cosponsors. The most recent 6 have signed on in just the last couple of weeks. Someone is stirring the pot and pushing this horrendous piece of legislation. More than 15% of the House are now signed onto this bill as cosponsors. Not bad for a bill that everyone insists is dead in the water.

I sure do wish that rebate check would hurry up and get here, I want to buy my new XD-45 Tactical before it becomes a banned assault weapon...
Here's my opinion. I have studied the list of those who have co-sponsored this bill. The majority are from inner-cities and far-left burbs. Almost every one is either rank and file or fringe democrat.
The fact that so many reps have co sponsored this bill is of concern, which is why we must stay vigilant.
However...most moderate democrats are on the side of republicans on this bill, since this was one of the major reasons they beat the republicans in the previous election.
I don't think the bill is dead just yet....but it is certainly not going anywhere.
