I should have said, "No one is SERIOUSLY trying to take your guns". These grandstanding clowns are playing to their bases hoping their constituency is stupid enough to believe they are seriously pushing legislation.

..."but they (the NRA) will spin it to be a serious confiscation effort; the nra will also take full credit for stopping the bills"...

Sure they will! That's why I find these grandstanding clowns so disgusting. It'll make them popular in their pro-gun control districts .... while hurting the efforts for REAL gun safety legislation.
