It's starting.  They're going after all mags over 10 rounds.  Better start calling your congress critters.

It will go nowhere. There are 191 Democrats in the house, and 60 were endorsed by the NRA in 2010. Add those to the 241 Republicans, and there is no way gun legislation will go anywhere.

Divide and conquer.


My bulk order of Pmags and Glock 23 mags is en route. All my other boomsticks are standard 10rd or less anyway.

I'm not familiar with this Cyber security bill. What are it's chances?

The underlying bill may pass, but the amendment won't be voted on until next week. It doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of being attached to the bill by a floor vote.

Regardless of whether or not we think this will pass we still need to contact our Senators.  Now is not the time to let up.  They need to be bombarded every time gun control is proposed, so they know what the consequences will be.
