Default AW Ban Reauthorization - HR 6257 - By Republicans?

Ok... This is left field.

I expected an AWB or two to be introduced. I however never thought and AW ban would be reintroduced by 5 Republicans before Obama took over the White House:

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-6257
Sponsor:
Rep. Mark Kirk [R-IL]
Cosponsors:
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen [R-FL]
Rep. Michael Ferguson [R-NJ]
Rep. Christopher Shays [R-CT]
Rep. Michael Castle [R-DE]

...

Maybe Shays wants a 'bipartisan' appointment from Obama.

It just goes to show you that the common non-gun aware folks can't tell the difference between a fully automatic (machine) rifle and a semi-automatic. If it looks like a machine gun, it must be a machine gun..... Maybe it's time to go on a education and outreach campaign one neighborhood at a time in areas that aren't adversely affected by gun violence to see if we can people to understand at least the difference between a machine gun and a semi-automatic firearm.

Seems to have been intro'd back in June, and not acted on since late July. Weird. Shays was voted out, fwiw.

Maybe they're trying to drum up ammo and gun sales?

It's not an A/W ban. It's a "Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act". Didn't you read the title of the bill? It protects firearms use.

Welcome to the new and improved Republican party.

Not a huge shocker by the way they have been leaning as of late.

Dated 6/12/08?

This has been around a while, seemingly going nowhere.
