Maybe not.
Today in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, 65 Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives, led by Congressman Mike Ross (D-AR), expressed their opposition to the reinstatement of the failed 1994 ban on semi-automatic firearms and ammunition magazines. These congressmen cited numerous studies that proved the 1994 ban was ineffective, and they strongly urged Attorney General Holder to stop his effort and instead focus on the enforcement of existing gun laws.Two of those Democrats were Jerry Costello and Debbie Halvorson from Illinois. Special thanks go out to these individuals from all the law abiding folk in Illinois.
NRA would like to thank Congressman Ross for his leadership on this effort. We will continue to work with Members of Congress from both parties on this important issue.

I saw this earlier. I'll be calling Oregon's Peter Defazio to express my thanks. We need to spank our reps when they bend us over, but it's just as important to take the time to call and thank them when they do the right thing.
Wow--Costello and Halvorson signed that? I wouldn't have expected that.
WE know that the AWB was a joke, convincing a libber moonbat like Holder of that is a whole different propsition I fear...
Congrat to your Reps for standing UP!!
They want to be re-elected. They see the outrage, and are trying to save their hash. Even if it passes, they can say, "See, we opposed it!!! Elect us anyway!!!"
No Reps from Mass. What are you guys (and Cali) doing right?
I know Cali has an AWB, does IL?

No, but they keep trying.
Illinois doesn't but Cook County, accounting for over 70% of the states murders, does.
