Sorry if I didn't make my views clear. I think that Democrats should force the Republicans to vote on the AWB and the Magazine restrictions. Both measures are supported by a solid majority of the voters. Since this is a democratic republic, the representatives are supposed to reflect the voters views.
If someone's guns are so important that they would vote for a Republican because those damn Democrats made them shoot from a 10 round magazine and took away the pistol grip on their rifles, then they probably should.
