Lets hope all the gun bills go this way.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein emerged from a closed-door meeting with Majority Leader Harry Reid on Monday — but her ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines didn’t.
Mr. Reid turned down her attempt to bring her ban on 157 different weapons and ammunition clips aboard the Democratic Party’s comprehensive gun bill, Politico reported.
“My understanding is it will not be [part of the base bill],” said Mrs. Feinstein, California Democrat. “I would like to [see it moved], but the leader has decided not to do it. … You will have to ask him [why].”
Her bill instead will have to go forth separately or as an amendment — and that means it’s probably not going anywhere.
Conservative blog Hot Air characterizes its chances for passage by itself as near zero and counts supporters at about 35.
Mr. Reid’s decision was likely aimed at bolstering the party’s chances to pass some gun control, even if it’s not as restrictive as many on the left would like. As Hot Air noted, Mr. Reid can now play the two bills off each other and make the case that he kept out Mrs. Feinstein’s more controversial version.
Mr. Reid is also likely looking at the 2014 elections, when several Democratic Senate seats are open for contest in conservative states, analysts say.

You've got to love a blue dog Dem. They beat a moderate Republican everyday, as if guns become a purely partisan issue we're screwed. I hope DiFi chokes on her own bile.

If DiFi were going to choke, she would have done so one of the first times she looked into a mirror.

Reid is still a POS.
If he thought it had a chance of passing he would have included it with his other Constitutional violations.

You are absolutely correct. Harry Reid is a flaming asshole political pragmatist.
Look for the Wicked Witch Of The West to offer her AWB as an amendment once the package reaches the Senate floor.

What budget ? We haven't had one for over 4 years, the only one that was proposed was blocked by Harry Reid.
Article 1 - The Legislative Branch
Section 7 - Revenue Bills, Legislative Process, Presidential Veto
All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.
