Do you guy's think it will be passed? I have a really bad feeling about it

I am not as well versed as I should be on when the vote will take place; anyone know when it will be voted on?

Ok Here is what is getting sent off. Please feel free to re-use any content. If you want the word document send me a PM i'll e-mail it to you. Mail merge is your friend i'm finding out. I put all of the elected officials addresses into Outlook. Its just point and click once the letter is written. Pretty easy to do.

Dear Senator Ken Salazar,
<O

</O

<O

</O

Subject: HR 1022
<O

</O

<O

</O

On <st1:date Month="2" Day="13" Year="2007">February 13, 2007</st1:date>, Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) introduced the Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act (H.R. 1022). This legislation would reauthorize for ten years the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, which prohibits the manufacture, transfer, or possession of a semiautomatic assault weapon or a large capacity ammunition feeding device. H.R. 1022 has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary, where it awaits further approval.<O

</O

<O

</O

When our Founding Fathers drafted the Constitution, they included the Second Amendment to guarantee people the right to keep and bear arms. This is a fundamental part of our American identity and liberty protected for all law-abiding citizens. The constitution does not differentiate the type of arms one could own.
<O

</O

A common misperception is drawn between law-abiding citizen’s firearm ownership and crime. H.R 1022 draws the conclusion that by limiting gun ownership to law-abiding citizens will somehow protect Public Safety or Law Enforcement. All of the studies completed after the prior Assault Weapons Ban was enacted under President Clinton showed no direct or indirect benefit to Law Enforcement, Public Safety or reduction in crime.
<O

</O

<O

</O

H.R 1022 is not something I am for, I am against H.R 1022 and violation of rights guaranteed under the constitution to all Americans. As an elected official I urge you to vote against H.R 1022. Please help me understand why elected representatives continue efforts to restrict and violate our rights guaranteed under the constitution.
<O

</O

Sincerely,<O

It has not even made it out of committee at this point and there is no equivalent in the Senate...
