Part of the problem is the rule that permits every legislator to introduce thirty bills. They all immediately decide they have to reach the maximum, and the result is a mad scramble to find 3600 areas in which to pass new laws. That's pretty much a guarantee of silliness.
As far as gun rights go, the preferred approach is incremental. There was a proposal to require ID checks for ammunition purchases and a number of others in the last session. Interestingly enough, of the first hundred or so bills introduced in the new session, none have impacted firearms. Maybe they come along when legislators hit that "damn, I've only got 29 bills" mark.
Sometimes I feel the tree of liberty hasn't been drenched with enough tyrant's blood.
