Each name has a "D" behind it. What does that mean? D for dummy?

I'd encourage everyone to read the bill.

Here's a partial list of the garbage in the bill:

Guess the true 3% will come out then

Could be done with far fewer than 3%, as described in "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross. Outstanding book - a signed paperback copy can be purchased from the publisher "Accurate Press". It's 861 pages, mostly on guns and gun culture, worth every penny of the $34 price - I think shipping was $9 - it's huge: 6"x9"x~1.75".

97% of 387 Amazon reviews rate the book 4 or 5 stars. How many books can beat that?!?!

Hopefully HR 5717 will not even make it out of the House.

'Altercations' and 'Azz whoopin' is fun to discuss but it's little more than 'flowery' talk.

As I have said before gun control for most antis & libs is purely conceptual for them. They sit on their self righteous high horses and hurl their 'concepts' at us and we scramble to fight them off with little more than a number and a letter.

They are very much on the offensive and have nothing to lose - and nothing to lose is a very powerful weapon.

What we need to find is something we can go on the offensive with - something of theirs we believe needs to limited, controlled or taken away. Unfortunately until this happens I see little changing with this 'war'.

A DGU resulting in a thug getting snuffed seems to set their collective bubblegum on fire, and renews calls for more bans, confiscations and other useless laws...
Yet, a very large proportion of these very same antis seem perfectly fine with killing unborn, defenseless babies...
Howz'bout we start there??? Cuz, ya know, "...if it saves just one life..."
