Nice catch. Thanks.You forgot the pre-samples which really hurt the soul since they could be worth a ton had they been registered. If only we had a republican in office back then to veto this.
The "passage" of the Hughes amendment was a travesty of process. A voice vote was taken; it was NOT obvious which side had won; and the chair immediately responded with something like "The Ayes have it" and we were breeched.
"Sneak attack" is a standard anti ploy. The AGs "guidance" on ARs and non-gun AR lowers issued without advance notice, hearings, etc. is one. Another is the NY SAFE act (banned ARs) passed under cloak of darkness with no advance notice, hearings or chance for constituents to make their feelings known to their reps. As former senator Jacques said regarding pro-gay legislation "I'll take a win on this any way I can get it". Then there is changing the succession law for filling the senate vacancy TWICE so it is always "Gov appoints if D in office; otherwise special election."
Crap like that is one reason why I do not want to see our side behave in a genteel manner and hand the SCOTUS appointment to the other side.
