What if...
What if no AWB or any other gun control amendment is offered to the UBC bill?
What if PRO Gun ammendment(s) is/are amended?
How many republicans do you think would jump the fence if, say, reciprocity were added?
Lots of ways to skin this cat. It ain't over.
The more useless pro-gun amendments they tag on, the greater the chance for them to completely dissolve the second amendment and the fourth amendment.
Say for example, they lift the ban on machine guns but enact a 10 round magazine limit. Lots of people will become complacent. I already see them trying this by removing the necessity of NICS for LTCH holders.
No, you want them to make it as bad as it can possibly be so it doesn't have a chance of passing.
