Yes.
They successfully scared the money out of you this year...
The bill has NO CO-SPONSORS and has no hope of passing.
I can't help but wonder how much it would cost for the NRA to pay a legislator to "introduce" such a bill that has no hope of passing, and then the NRA sends out e-mails about the bill's existence (as above) which brings in donations for them...

It's ILLEGAL.
What more do you want them to "address" it with?
Make it doubly illegal???

There are NO CO-SPONSORS.
There is NO "they".
To have a "they", you have to have MORE THAN ONE.
And in a congress that has a FEW HUNDRED PEOPLE, you have ONE solitary person who put up this legislation...

This one basic freedom is key to all of the others we have.

Yeah.
Cause it's doing wonders for making sure the government has a warrant before it invades American privacy.
Oh wait. The right-wing (and Obama) doesn't give a damn about that...
I can't think of any right that guns (
in current times) have actually protected.
