Republicans have controlled Congress most of the last 20 years. House 16 of the last 20 years, Senate 12 of the last 20 years.
And more to the point, the Republicans have controlled both House & Senate since this bill was introduced.
And what do we have to show for it? Nothing. And the Trump payback is the result.
Lots of things could be accomplished. First would be to vote on it, so we know who are friends are and who are not. Another would be to force Obama to veto it, and use it as an election issue as we did with CHL in 93. But since Obama has already passed 15 pro-gun bills (3 involving pro-carry), compared to Bush 1, I would expect he would sign it like he did other pro-carry bills.
