That it won't wither and die but we'll get a new and better political climate for legislation. I'm on the verge of adopting tom clarke's take on you... <g>

Hopefully, you are wrong. That it won't wither and die but we'll get a new and better political climate for legislation. Article: “Clinton Cites Officer's Car Death In Opposing 'Cop-Killer Bullets'.” By Peter Baker. The Washington Post, October 26, 1996. This article states: "During a campaign visit here this week, President Clinton met with the widow of a police officer killed in the line of duty and later during a political rally cited his death as a reason to outlaw armor-piercing bullets. … With nearly 20 uniformed officers flanking him on stage, Clinton boasted about legislation he pushed through Congress to put 100,000 more police on the streets and mentioned the first death of one of his program's officers. … Neither a bulletproof vest nor a ban on "cop-killer bullets," however, would have saved Officer Jerome Harrison Seaberry Sr., 35. He was responding to a radio call for backup on Christmas night last year when "he lost control of his vehicle, going too fast . . . hit a tree head-on and the vehicle burst into flames," said Lake Charles Police Chief Sam Ivey.”
