The GOP pushed it through on a voice vote with the GOP sponsor a Congressman who is retiring.
The NRA did not oppose this bill.
It’s a very narrow bill out of the House covering one issue. If the Dems load it up it will die. The GOP is covered either way. It’s smart politics. Although, the policy is stupid as we know. Criminals will break the law, but we need those LIVs if we’re going to take Congress and the WH back.
What keeps these politicians voting for these “safety” bills is the fear that you’re attacked because somebody got through who wouldn’t have if only you’d passed a law. It’s nonsense, but it sell in the urban areas. It’s why the NSA has such free reign.
Another reason I quit the NRA
Sounds like the E-GOP is determined to give the 'Rats an opening to push through a gun ban.
Another knife in the back? Someone got blackmailed or squeezed?
Remember, Pew's sociology survey work shows that E-GOP business types are generally weak to unfavorable on the subject of guns in the hands of employees. Some of them would just as soon Schmucky Chuckie's pals won this issue, esp. if they themselves are East Coast big-city RiNO's.
