I just have a simple question, what were the reasons reported why President Bush did not extend the ban?

The ban was stupid to begin with and did very little to curb the less then 5% of crime commited with "assault weapons" anyway.

IIRC, the real number was 2%.

So why didn't bush try and pass a better version of the AWB?

And what would this "better version" ban?

Well people tend to complain that the AWB didn't do a very good job of banning assault weapons so when not write a better ban if that was a problem with the old AWB?

Again: what would this "better version" ban? And what is your logic behind wanting a bigger, more inclusive ban?

How about it's unconstitutional like all gun laws are?

Not that he's one to give a rats ass about constitution..so I'm leaning tward getting the NRA vote.
