My senators kinda liked my idea of inserting this one line in a 3000 page bill:

18 USC 922 (o) is hearby repealed.

They both agreed to it, however the Senate is run by Harry Reid which WOULD NOT entertain amendments to bills that the DEMS were shoving down our throats.

I like the idea of legislation by stealth, in a sense. I’d like to see the GOP repeal NFA, Obamacare, and a few other unconstitutional laws by stealth. Insert the repeals into some obscure paragraph of a 3,000 page reconciliation bill, pass the bill, let Barry sign it, and then a week later (once the signed bill is in some way recorded as officially signed “discover” that the bill repealed a whole bunch of bad laws).

The down side is that the corrupt party could do the same, but the solution is to (1) actually read and understand bills before signing them, and (2) write shorter bills that can be understood. Also, I’m okay with both sides repealing bad laws. It would be nice to get rid of about 80% of the laws and 90% of the regulations on the books.
