I too am of the mind that, as long as Republicans hold the congress and white house, we will not see it up for re-authorization for quite a while at least. The world will sit in wait for the full auto shoot outs and mass murders to come, and when they dont the AWB will fade like a bad memory. That is NOT, however, an excuse to not write your congresspersons and the president persistantly and urge them to not vote for any of that kind of "junk" gun legislation.
