Second Amendment Guarantee Act

This would be cool if it passed. It eliminates all state level gun control laws.

I am all for states rights. That said, if Gov. Cuomo is against it, I'm all for it.

Lots of references to mentally ill own weapons but nothing addressing engaging mental illness.

If only the house and senate were under Republican control, then it might have a chance.

LOL, like that will happen....



Oh, wait..

[Gman]

If only the house and senate were under Republican control, then it might have a chance.

...with a Republican in the Executive Branch, it could happen.

But I'm not holding my breath.

Just like the Obamacare repeal huh?

I find Congress to be most useful when they are in recess.

If it wasn't for the millions of our dollars that it would cost to provide, I would support a Congressional Intentions Office (CIO). It would function much like the "nonpartisan" Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The CIO would examine and report on all proposed legislation. The CIO would actually score every bill according to the Law of Unintended Consequences. First the CIO would look at the Title of any bill and immediately assume that the bill would do exactly the opposite of whatever the Title states as the purpose of the legislation. Next the CIO would look at the bills authors, sponsors, and co-sponsors and mark the bill according to the past results of legislation proposed and supported by these same legislators. Lastly, the CIO would assist the CBO in determining the actual cost of any proposed legislation by marking up any CBO cost estimates by factors of 10 or 20 times the stated cost. Of course Congress being the deliberative body that it is, all elected representatives would then promptly crow about or disregard the CIO report depending of course on whether they support the bill or not. Legislation would be passed or not based on who benefits the most and no one in Washington would care how much any proposed legislation will cost our great, great, great, grandchildren in interest on the national debt.

Business as usual in our US Congress.

The best government is less government.

There is such a little difference between the two these days.....yes, there are talking points issues that get spoon fed to the dichotomy believers and they believe it. And yes, Trump is different. I hope he pulls shit together and gets shit done (doubtfull - the system is bigger than he is).

Both sides are about CONTROL. This is why the phony "repeal" bullshit failed. Republicans want control over you just as much as Democrats.

Mixed opinions on this. On the one hand I'm all for fewer gun laws and gun control. On the other hand, the federal government is in charge of health insurance.

Yeah...that's a tough one.

And don't forget that the end goal is single payer... so what's the end goal with having the Fed in charge of all gun laws?


Would be fantastic if it was written such that states cannot RESTRICT rights more than the Federal Gov't... but that they can remove federal restrictions at the state level... so if the Fed passes something that restricts rights more, then a state could nullify that law within their borders.

but that will never happen.
