I thought the NRA was telling us this was a "clean" bill??

These are clearly poison pill amendments meant to kill the bill. I would rather have no bill than further restrictions, and I guess, that is the purpose.

NRA Board Member Larry Craig, lately seen chumming around with Hillary Clinton, has also offered an *armor piercing ammo* bill of his own. Looks like the NRA has sold us out again.

It was a clean bill. But there is absolutely nothing to prevent any senator from amending any bill with anything that strikes their fancy. So far the amendments that have passed are just to throw the anti-gun senators a bone.

We can only hope that that is the case. I have a feeling that if it isn't and all this crap becomes law all hell will break loose.
