		Johnson's bill exempts producer-owned co-operatives from the ban, in addition to packing plants that slaughter less than 2% of the national annual slaughter of beef cattle (approximately 740,000 head), hogs (approximately 1,900,000 head), and sheep (approximately 69,2000 head).
		Johnson's bill was added as an amendment to the Senate version of the farm bill, but was stripped out of the final farm bill at the insistence of the House Republican members of the conference committee.

		John Thune, left, and Sen. Tim Johnson have proposed a ban on ads from political parties and other groups in their U.S. Senate race in South Dakota.

	The information resource for the expiration of the 1994 semiauto ban!
		But the odds she faces to pass the weapons ban in the current Congress are probably steeper than they were in 1993, when the Senate narrowly approved the ban, or last March, when it passed 52-47 before dying in the body.
		Thus, it is deceptive at best to suggest that, had the ban been renewed, the shooting would not have happened, and is yet another example of an opportunistic politician exploiting a tragedy as a tool for pushing her twisted political agenda.
		While the so-called "assault weapons" ban was never really at the forefront of the presidential race, we don't need to be reminded of the promise anti-gun forces made that voters would retaliate en masse against President Bush for not actively pushing for the ban's renewal, resulting in a decisive defeat.
