IMO it’s best to keep sending it back. What did we, as gun owners, gain in the 86 bill?

For one thing, the ability to pass through hostile states without fear of arrest.

I can legally pass through Kalifornia with my machine guns in my vehicle on my way to Arizona and back.
Unless I do something stupid with them Kalifornia cannot touch me.
this is particularly important in the eastern U.S., states are close together and laws vary widely.
The full bill title was the “Firearm Owners Protection Act”.
I recall ATF killing several gun collectors in their beds had some effect on it getting passed, but never heard of any ATF goons being prosecuted.
Expect the same with “Fast & Furious”.

I do not recall all the provisions of the law off hand, just that 922.(o) was a “minor” amendment with no prior discussion or support.
I also recall the amendment author died last year, good riddance!
