hi loosechange,
i get it! and i agree that protective remedies of some type have become necessary. and this is your concern.
but i think dc will produce some watery compromise that leaves everyone looking like they've done something while actually changing nothing that matters.
it is critical to protect the key right, which is to allow people to hunt deer [exuding sarcasm]. the pols must write law to preserve this and do what they can for children. but killing deer is the top priority.
indeed, i think the second amendment could use a spring clean.
"A happy hunter being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear assault weapons shall not be infringed."
yes. folks have their priorities in balance.
