Re: 2nd Amendment misunderstood?

I don't want to give the wrong impression about my responses, btw. I think this approach has merit, but without it getting House and Senate sponsorship, and without an executive with a spine, this can't see the light of day.

Moreover, as I've implied before, the left states will sniff this out as an erosion of whatever control they still have, and will fight it tooth-and nail. If we take the senate and POTUS this Nov, you may only have a two year window to get it passed (just like the Dems did with Obamacare).

Anytime somebody proposes a new law, I fantasize what that law will look like after it passes through congress. Most times it looks a lot like hay, after it has passed through a horse.
I know it could be possible, but couldn't it also be possible to prevent that from happening within a bill? I don't have the answer, but I do see conservatives paralyzed by fear of the possibility of what the liberals might try. The problem is that we, conservatives, are truly concerned what others think, while liberals don't care.
You're thinking at the Texas level too much. Federal level, no way. CA and NY wield WAY too much power over bills.
