OK, but keep a lookout for the “compromise” bill.
The DiFi bill was intended to distract us.
The strong talk and massive buying has them running scared, as it should be.
It's working brothers, keep standing firm !
You are oh so right.
S.150 is (we hear) the whole ball of wax, but they're working on the sub-parts one at a time as well.
Don't take your eyes off the various balls in the air right now:

And an interesting side note:
H.R. 339: To require the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to make video recordings of the examination and testing of firearms and ammunition, and for other purposes.
And one to support! H.R. 410: To provide that any executive action infringing on the Second Amendment has no force or effect, and to prohibit the use of funds for certain purposes.
The other thing about this bill that really sticks in my craw is that the "Ruling Elite" wanted to exempt themselves from the same laws they were trying to force on "The Ruled"...!
Am I PO'd? YOU BET!!!
Write/call/email your representatives! Tell them where you stand and that you expect them to represent you on these views and values! When they start hearing from the "Silent Majority" and they see their own election chances being threatened, they start paying attention...
Correct! Why in hell are any Republicans working on a bipartisan deal?
They should filibuster this bill to death, and if it is brought to a vote, ensure that nothing is "watered down" to make it palatable.
Watch out for McCain.
