Do they have to pass it to find out what's in it?

May we, huddled masses yearning to be free, know, too?

I suspect you are probably correct, and this will die in the House prior to the election, after some weeks of being bandied about. However, I think that what bothers everyone so much is that assuming what you say actually happens, it still gives a bad appearance. Namely, that the generally law-abiding firearms owners in this nation, the tens of millions of them, should be the ones to bear the brunt of having somehow done something wrong, instead of only the filthy low-life Wahhabist terrorist (hat-tip Beiruty) who murdered the people in that club. ALL condemnation should be on the terrorist(s) and THEIR actions, not against Americans who've done nothing wrong, and are getting rather sick of being blamed for these violent attacks.

Maybe, but it doesn't look to me like we will be getting [anything] if it is looked at realistically. It is uncomfortable to have to deal with it, and I've given up saying "that could never happen", especially after Beiruty pulled up the item about that Baptist(!) lunatic in Sacramento.

I try to avoid unreality, irresponsibility and irrelevancy whenever possible.

Here is more comfort, if you need it.

In the last twenty years, the more the Communists formerly known as Democrats have thumped the tub for gun control, the fewer of them there are holding office.

Doesn't that make you feel better?

To the Commies formerly known as Democrats, that hardly matters.

Feinstein would pick up every gun in America if she had the votes. Anything that makes buying and owning a gun more of a hassle, more expensive, less useable, she favors. You can't get anywhere if you let a crisis go to waste.

For crying out loud!

There is a 55-45 majority in the Senate. Let 'em vote. If by some chance it passes the Senate, we'll know who needs to be flipping burgers somewhere.

What is the count in the House? 247-188

As Professor Lyndon Johnson taught, "When they have the votes, you do things their way. When you have the votes, they do things your way."

The peculiar rules of the Senate are there as "the lubricant of democracy."
