I seem to remember reading that the Senate already passed an extension this spring - and that is just had to get through the House (which I agree is unlikely). Now you folks are going to make me do some research.

This spring the Gun Manufacturer's Lawsuit Immunity Bill was debated in the Senate (a clean version had already passed the House). Kerry and Edwards returned from the campaign trail to vote on this issue , and Feinstein, Schumer, et. al. got an amendment attached to the Immunity Bill to reauthorize the AWB. When a final vote was taken, the supporters of the immunity bill scuttled it by a margin of 92-8 or something along those lines rather than allow a tainted bill to pass.
A pretty clear line in the sand has been drawn re: gun control. I think the vote in support of Feinstein's amendment exposed those that would curtail our rights.
