I'm sure Obama and his friends in the house/senate will do their best to kill this.

Holy smoke! A gun bill that's actually positive!

[drumenigma]

They'll probably take that bill and add it to the rest of the toilet paper at the Whitehouse.

They'll probably take that bill and add it to the rest of the toilet paper at the Whitehouse.

Or worse yet, tack a bunch of gun restrictions (AWB, etc) onto it. Like FOPA.

[clinotus]

Interesting.

[Rob]

We can all hope it passes.

[Pilgrim]

self or family

is used over and over.

Using that law, if one of you visit, or another friend or neighbor is there, and someone breaks in, I can't protect you/them.

[MichaelJ]

We can all hope it passes.

Only if they CHANGE their views to reflect the Constitution.
