Today, it is legal either way. That’s the part you aren’t getting.
With this bill in place as law, they’d have to go on the record instead of allowing the ATF to do it for them.
There’s 5 million rounds of 9mm ammo somewhere in DC that was ordered by the IRS, and they weren’t wadcutters either.
They aren’t buying that stuff to protect the southern border - loaning it out to our poorly funded brethren at Border Patrol.
Nobody authorizes it - it’s in the budget, so they buy it.
You talk about demographics like it means something. Boehner and McConnell can read the polls. Obolacare, illegals, sealing up the border, even gun control - they are all why they won. The people spoke.
They don’t need the demographics anymore. With this bill, you can challenge any of these regs and it has to be set aside unless Congress positively affirms it, which is SO MUCH HARDER than passively affirming it, which is what is being done as I write this.
Sunlight kills disease. With this bill you can’t say one thing to win and then vote the other way.
It is positive affirmation of your position on 2A beats saying one thing about 2A to win NRA endorsement and then doing something else to help the ATF along.
” Today, it is legal either way.”
And that would be where you are wrong.
Look up what “shall not be infringed” means.
