Call your reps, now. We are in for a fight. The last one is good at least.

What is bad is that the titles are chosen very carefully. Most do not seem offensive, especially to non "gun people." Its the little things that will be hidden in the bill that are bad.

I mean, i doubt that anyone would oppose "greater safety in the use of a firearm" but we all know that they don't mean to do that by encouraging people to take training classes.

more like requiring that bullets come with individual locks or guns have to be unlocked between each shot.

I like the last one.,

And most of those were introduced my McCarthy. No surprise there.

When big gov social policies fail or make things worse the pols need a scapegoat. Guns are that scapegoat.

So h.r. 72 puts more ATF at the border to stop the sale of guns to the cartels? Haven't we seen how that ends? Fast and Furious 2 anyone!

Yep, you got this right. Most ignorant people in this country see something called a "Patriot Act" or "Affordable Health Care Act" and think what a great thing it must be.

Wasn't ATF the ones "running" "walking the guns in the first place?
