According to other posts the new speaker has said no new gun laws will up in this congress! Let's hope so.

Why would you know what something is before you try to ban it? Ban it quick, before more children die at the hands of the evil barrel shroud.

This is a big part of what bugs me about the whole legislative process now. Nobody voting on the bills even knows what they're reading about if they even bother to read them. I think maybe congressmen should have to pass a randomized test about the bill to have their vote count. Don't know anything about guns? Too bad, you don't get to vote on a bill about guns.

What do they know about that they vote on? Hardly anything...


We've gotten to the point people in Congress admit in front of a camera they don't care if a bill is even constitutional. "We'll just leave it up to the courts."

Yup, code for "We're trying to rampantly expand the powers of the federal government."

Worse than that is that people writing (or in reality probably more correctly sponsoring) the bills don't know what they mean.

A ban on mags may not pass the House, but couldn't it come about by Obama signing an Executive Order?

[mhanna91]

I dont think that even Obama would be willing to do this. He would put his reputation at too much risk, and would also shatter any doubt that he intends to act as a dictator rather than the President. Besides, he's got bigger fish in the fryer at the moment.

You go ahead and hold on to that dream....
