We are curious ... how many of the frequent posters on such threads as this-- really expect something dramatic to surface in the next 48 hours? I don't. I guess I am just a little disappointed and jaded after several recent political and national events. The budget being signed has thrown some cold water on my enthusiasm. It didn't fund the wall, but gave away millions to baby killers. It contains gun control. Oh, and now Sessions is looking to ban "bump stocks" - which is more gun control. If you ban "bump stocks" you might as well ban all semi-automatic rifles.
Sessions Proposes a Ban on Bump Stocks
Q said "guns are safe." Then why was GUN CONTROL allowed in the just signed budget? Why is Sessions proposing more GUN CONTROL? Why wasn't National Reciprocity (which would have nullified many states unconstitutional gun control laws) not inserted into the must pass bill instead?
This spending bill, at $1.3 Trillion, includes billions and billions in new welfare giveaways. That is kind of hard to swallow, considering that because of the new Tax Law that President Trump signed, my Federal taxes are going up, not down. The tax bill eliminates or caps deductions for millions of middle class Americans in order to generate revenue lost from slashing the taxes for corporations from 35% to 21%. So spending increases, and my taxes go up. Sort of not "MAGA" there. Wouldn't you agree?
Like I said - it's tough be hopeful in the face of so many setbacks. I still think there is a "plan" - but right now it isn't looking so good.

I would really appreciate when you and others post what is in the bill if you would copy and paste the actual wording and page number so we can read it in context.
It’s easily searchable with the find feature but huge and reading the whole thing to find out what you are referring to takes forever.

If you ban "bump stocks" you might as well ban all semi-automatic rifles. That's just absolutely delusional.

You are not the only one...I went out last night, people were pissed and very discouraged.

Perfectly reasonable feelings and observations, imho. Thanks.
