Lawsuit Protection bill with Assault weapons renewal and ant-gun show riders dies in Senate.

Hat tip: Instapundit.

Just as well, it will be better to have a clean bills passed next year without these ridiculous amendments.

Now that Edwards has dropped out, as long as Bush does not pass any anti-gun laws this year the choice on whom to vote for becomes clearer for gun owners at least. Hopefully Bush will do something proactive such as pushing to make the tax cuts permanent and try to reign in government overspending, not to mention continue to vigorously prosecute the war on terror and the contrasts will become even greater.
