Zero chance it will pass in the current Congress. This is exactly why it is important to keep control of the House and Senate this fall.

Yes it does. Fortunately, it will also get nowhere this session. PLEASE vote in November and don't throw it away on some goofball third party candidate that hands control back to the Democrats. I guarantee you Ron Latz would throw his support behind the Slocum bill if he were committee chair again.

I prefer bills to be extreme. The ones that border on logical scare me.

IF this passes, which I don't see happening, there will be a crap load unemployed. The unemployment will be one of the main reasons it will not pass but am sure the NRA will take this all the way to the supreme court to state it is against the 2nd amendment. Hard to say how it will go though. When you see how it was written, and bolt rifles are not covered in the ban, the courts could rule in favor of the ban. the 2nd Amendment doesn't actually state what kind of firearm. This is starting to get ugly so hope the republicans will fight for the 2A and not screw us.

No, they’ll be numbers on your arm. You’ll get them before the free train ride.

I plan to share the above Link as part of email to reps regarding the house bill just revealed. What a piece of crap. Nothing like creating a class of criminals out of law abiding citizens.

These idiots who are pushing gun control don't realize if this crap passes, the government could go after other amendments too down the road. Just a mater of time.

We didn’t have to, but those of us who did are now one step ahead of the game.

They do realize it, hell, when they're in power they try to invalidate the first amendment. "Fairness" Doctrine.... Any place conservatives have a voice (Fox News, radio, and internet) they must be muted and give half their time to fascist democrat communists. Any place where fascist democrat communists are the only voice is good-to-go as-is (The other 175 channels on TV, 99% of newspapers, 99% of magazines, all of Hollywood...).
Science: noun, Whatever answer will help to advance communism.

Then the Democrats will pass anti gun legislation and we have to rely on Trump to hold the line. That doesn't fill me with confidence.
