When this first became law, I wrote to then-Senator Spence Abraham (now GW's Secretary of Energy) to complain. I received a nicely-worded letter which informed me that, when people commit certain crimes, they LOSE THEIR PRIVILEGE TO OWN A FIREARM. Exact words.
And here I thought I was living in America. When this is repealed, it will not be one moment too soon. Legislators who voted for this should be ashamed.
Hmmm ....
Unfortunately, I believe that over 50 of the Senators who originally passed the Lautenberg Abomination are still in office. Anyone have a roll call?
