Addendum!

I forgot one of my main points, staying up too late.

We will probably get "HAD" if the senate is allowed to decide this bill via a "voice vote".

When contacting your senator please INSIST that ALL votes on this bill MUST be recorded!

It is an election year, many of those voting on this bill would like to hide their true record if possible so that they can tell voters from both sides of the issue what they want to hear.

At this time the bill has a status very similar to the McClure-Volkmer "Firearm Owners Protection Act" of 1986.
MV-86 was a "must pass" bill, ATF had been caught murdering citizens in their beds, it was unsafe to travel through several states with firearms in any manner, L.E. entrapment of gun owners was common, etc.
The abuse got so bad that congress finally decided to "do something" about it via MV-86.
The last minute addition of an amendment adding section 922.(o), via "voice vote" has been the source of bitter contention to this day.

Initially 922.(o) affected "only" NFA firearms enthusiast, but it also eventually became the inspiration for the Klinton gun bans of 1994.

We must prevent a similar manipulation of congress being repeated with S. 1805.

Initially 922.(o) affected "only" NFA firearms enthusiast...

Remarkably, that provision is probably the worst piece of law of all time, because it ensured that US citizens will thereafter be denied modern military arms.

Good point: NO VOICE VOTE!

We need to see who the traitors are, both 'rats and rinos.
