Pardon me! Is this legal? I thought the Constitution prohibited ex post facto laws.

You never heard of grandfathering? Yeah, that's it, grandfathering.

I think because this LOOSENS the law it is Constitutional.

Not that many care about the Constitutionally of laws around here any more.

That only applies when it doesn't involve guns, booze, tobacco, ribeyes, Twinkies or anything else that the peasants might enjoy.

The ruling class create exceptions only when they get caught up in their own B.S.
