    The expiration date was written into the law.

      Why aren't more gun laws written in that manner?

        The only way Clinton could get it through the Republicans was if there was an expiration date written into it.
        I think it can be confirmed that an alien xenomorph is absolutely no match for good ole' Alabama black snake!

        and

        If you're in a survival movie and the hot blond twists her ankle and can't walk, you damn well figure a way to carry her. If it's a dude, you shake his hand and say "best of luck".

                Both houses of Congress where controlled by the Democratic Party in 1994, as was the Presidency. The Senate had 56 Democrats and 44 Republicans. The House had 278 Democrats and 176 Republicans.

                The 10 year sunset clause was included to get enough votes from both parties.

                      Just so folks remember, the sunset clause was pushed by the NRA....successfully.

                        I think this is a better idea. Maybe if our legislature had to spend all their time debating old laws they wouldn't pass so many new ones.

                          What!?

                          The Sunset Clause is what the Liberals threw as a bone to the NRA to let the
                          crappy Ban go through.

                          The NRA went down so hard on them on that, they could have filmed it and
                          had Porno of the Year.

                          Funny how the NRA called me the night BEFORE the Ammo Bill was finalized,
                          but never mentioned ANYTHING about it while pictching renewal.
