I think they traded gun industry immunity for the Assault 
Weapon Ban renewal.  I can't imagine another reason Daschle 
would support gun industry immunity from lawsuits, even with

Well, no big deal.  You can still have nearly any gun you 
want if you're not a felon or crazy or under a TRO for

House that's renewed the ban on using ATF funds to 
investigate or process requests by felons for restoration of 
gun privileges, every year since the early 90's.

California in February that the group enjoyed "unbelievably
