While a generally think Grayson is a nut, but it turns out he has done something good in Congress. This bill would stop funding by the federal government to give local police ridiculously powerful military weapons. Only 62 people voted for it in the House, 19 R's, 43 D's. 355 voted against it, many citing the War on Terror the reason why local police need military weapons. Some of the prominent people who voted for it were Justin Amash, Thomas Massie, Raul Labrador, Barbara Lee, Alan Grayson (obviously), Hank Johnson, and Keith Ellison.
