Citizens are the terrorists... You didn't get the memo?

so everyone wins ?! [Beer]

Does that mean...can it be? Are there people in government who are still sane and responsible to their constituents?

The House is the people's house. It's the closest you may get to sanity in what they call the Federal govt.

Isn't this ultimately meaningless unless the Senate passes it too, and obama signs it? Or am I missing something?

Lets hope something comes of this!!!

Kind of funny that the photo is all reloads...

Apparently, some Congressman wasn't able to find any range ammo at the store.

Noticed that right away too. Don't look like very good reloads either. Resizing die isn't set right.

Its an amendment

Wonder if they claim it on their taxes as a business expense??[Dunno]

Wow, did not expect to see this. But awesome - I'll wander in to Walmart tomorrow to pick up a couple bricks of 22 that I'm sure will be on the shelf now, right? ;)

While I am one to say that the DHS has gone a bit overboard, the DHS ammo purchase isn't just for them, but is a line item that multiple agencies are pulling from...I don't see this going anywhere
