...they'd vanish right into thin air. It seems that everyone (GOP and Dem) is walking on eggshells with the AWB simply because of the negative imagery the words "assault weapon" conjure.
Also, a lot of the vocal anti-gun advocates are people who lost loved ones (or were injured) by guns...so there's a sympathy factor at work. People are reluctant to slam a "victim," no matter how wrong that victim might be.
