    Committee hearing just ended. Pretty pissed. Muse is a *******. Went back on everything he said. AWB, Licensing, no mention of the mag limit yet but I'm sure that will be a go too. The kicker...NOTHING to address mental health was agreed upon. There is no hiding it now. This bill is a FULL-OUT gun-grab. Only person consistently on our side was Jacobs. Brochin held his own for somethings like taking G&S out but was for registration, so he's no friend to me. Want to say more but it won't be helpful. Blow these assholes up ESPECIALLY MUSE.

    Also, Brochin tried to address the transport with regard to "assault weapons." Frosh wasn't having it. They claimed briefly that they would pick it up in the Senate. I SINCERELY doubt it.

    It might not have been so excruciating if not for the laughter.

    HAHAHAHAHA!!!

    "Stupid rednecks think they have a right to own an assault weapon! What is an assault weapon? Hell if I know, but it sure sounds scary!"


    I think that I've always known that the Constitution wouldn't be shredded by some military coup - it would be drowned in the babbling of morons.

    It wasn't about shutting it down. It was about delaying it for a floor vote to poke more and more holes in it. I was hoping at worse we would get hit with an AWB and mag restriction. But things like licensing got through scarily easy.

    So now we get to choose whether or not we want to be the generation that quietly gave freedom back to the monster our forefathers fought to cage.

    4. no need to re-register AW's purchased as regulated firearms - ADOPTED


    ??? :confused::confused::confused:

    I guess that means they just mail us a bill. So what happens when you don't pay it? They come to collect? It's too bad all of my regulated weapons fell out of the boat last week. I'd love to play that game.
