I was all set to make some phone calls and send some emails until I started hearing this sentiment on some other forums. In a way what the bill does is actually say that if you can get enough votes, you can ban guns. I decided to hold my peace.JJVP wrote: As far as I'm concern, an amendment that prevents congress to pass gun control, already exists. It is called, The Second Amendment.

Senator Lee to Offer Amendment Tonight to Ban Most Gun Control in the Senate
We realize it’s short notice, but we wanted to alert you that, later tonight, Senator Mike Lee of Utah intends to offer an amendment to the budget resolution that would prohibit any gun control legislation which does not have a 2/3 vote in the Senate.
We know, we know. We would prefer to prohibit any and all gun control, even if it had 100 votes.
But if the Lee amendment is passed, the practical effect will be that gun control can never again pass the Senate.
Given the Armageddon-like fight which we are now engaged in in the Senate, achieving a gun-control peace for the rest of our lifetimes would be a good thing.
ACTION: Contact your Senators. Ask them to vote for the Lee amendment which would require a 2/3 vote for the Senate to impose any gun control.
