Lock and load, and wedlock

Why are you calling me names? That's not nice.

I agree that in 1982 a bipartisan subcommittee (consisting of 3 Republicans and 2 Democrats) of the committee on the Judiciary of the United States Senate investigated the Second Amendment and concluded that the second amendment protected an individual right.

Four years later, the Senate banned machine guns (with a grandfather clause). Five years after that the Senate passed national background checks and one year later banned "assault" weapons.

So I really can't say what affect the subcommittee's report had on the Senate. Doesn't look as though it had any affect at all. Why do you bring it up?

affect = effect

You’re the asshat, not me.
