Would a nice moderator add the word "COST" to the title.

Govtrack gives it a 1% chance of making through committee and 0% of being enacted. Authored by an Illionois Rep. There's a surprise.

I doubt it will gain any traction, but it is a good reminder to us all to let the people we put in place to represent us how we feel.

Hey, isn't in nice you've already got all the guns you'll ever need?

Ain't gonna happen.

Need? Maybe. Want? Not even close.

Not true. Take this scenario for instance:

Say there's a flood. Say that the waters rise to 25'. If I had a pile of guns I could stack into a 25' tall hill, I'd survive. If not, I'd drown. So there you go. I need a pile of guns at least 25' high.

That's providing they hold you.
