...and is signed by the President.

Face it, "compromising" on new gun laws means you actually have some new gun laws.

But it's been almost 15 years, so you don't mind if we do other things while you and your like minded brethren whine online, do you?

We have matches to shoot, new guns to buy and money to donate to state and national associations that think like we do.

Good luck with those new laws, do let us know when you have one ready for the House or Senate. But I wouldn't count on Harry Reid to let it reach the floor, he's NRA A rated.
