Pollitics: Too Little, Too Late

All the sudden, Dianne Feinstein is pushing to renew the Assault Weapons Ban that expired a few months ago after ten years. Given that the AWB was pretty darn ineffective (even the NRA thought so!) because slightly altered versions of the assault weapons could stay on the market, this seems pretty empty. New Assault Weapon Ban legislation? THAT'D be sweet. But simply renewing the crappy old one? Eh. It smells too much like politics and not enough like actually protecting the citizens of our country.
