Another US House bill

[elsie]

The text of the bill wasn't available when I looked this morning, but the title struck me. IIRC, the appropriation riders were the things that prohibited using funds to create a registry of firearms.

HR 1728 - To repeal certain appropriations riders that limit the ability of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to administer the Federal firearms laws.

That doesn't sound good... sounds like they are trying to slip one past us unnoticed.

I would like to know what those appropriation riders are though.
We could have a national holiday for the day each one was added to the bills/budgets that passed!
