I lol'd having left burgers on the grill!

Yeah what you write is true. At this point it is a waste of time and energy getting worked up over this bill. However, there is legislation that is going forward that could use some citizen attention long before wasting a second worrying about H.R.45.

for example:

Senators Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) introduced S. 941 -- the "Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Reform and Firearms Modernization Act"
While the house regularly introduces and sometimes passes such language a similar bill has never before been introduced in the Senate. If you wish to be energized by legislation then get motivated to call your senator and ask them to sponsor some 2nd amendment friendly stuff like this.
