Those stupid Democrats are at it again.
This bill is too damn crazy to even bother comment on other than to say it is a great example of how bat shit crazy these Democrats are.
It would really help if those Liberal idiots would read the Bill of Rights. Infringement like this on the right to keep and bear arms is pretty well prohibited in the Second Amendment.
