So they allowed something to NOT HAPPEN? Are you serious? What did they DO, specifically? Allowing something not to happen is not action, it's a lack of action (in this case, that was good).
The Democrats also allowed the AWB to sunset, right? Or do they (aside from the obvious VERY ardent anti-gunners) not get credit because they don't play for your team? The majority of the Democrats didn't make a truly significant push on the issue because of the blowback from the original passage of the AWB, the Republicans had little to do with it, they just got to reap the credit (business as usual in politics).
Again, I'm not asking what they
accomplished or
passed, so your explanations in that regard are irrelevant. I'm asking you to show me what
actions they took to
attempt anything significant when it concerns the
2A rights of the common citizen.
