Debate on this bill is now open.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Seems like a straight forward bill to get ATF of the back of hobbyists on very specific gunsmithing issues that only affect hobbyists.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Any other comments?

23 hours to object to the amendment.

[West_Midlander]

I object. Out of curiosity, what is the reasoning for the amendment?

[Mr. Reactionary]

When written it pertained to the NFA rules on certain "short barrel rifles and short barrel shotguns" that the feds arbitrarily classified as the same as machine guns for no good reason.

One thing I will say is we repealed the NFA earlier this summer so the amendment sort of makes sense as its just removing an obsolete reference to a now repealed law. Still want to object?

[West_Midlander]

I withdraw my objection.

[Mr. Reactionary]

I move for a final vote. 24 hours to object.

Liberalizing gun law makes it easier for shootings to happen.

Isn't that a political disagreement then, not a "joke bill"?

Gun fetishists have no evidence on their sides just some words that were never meant to apply to individuals and meant to apply to state militias.

You know what the founders intended? I guess where we are going we don't need roads.
