Now what does it mean?

And will it restore the second amendment rights of all Americans (Including California?) Or will California's law still stand because they are more stringent than the federal laws?

[Gunnie Ed]

could it be?

is our nation begining to pull out of this nose dive?

is my profession safeguarded for another four years?

have all my preperations for a civil war been for nothing?

whyfore dosth i weep? be these tears or sorrow, or of joy?

[gunssb]

yeah right - like this is going to happen. Even if it does, won't change anything for us here. We're sitting here wondering when they'll start stamping little numbers on ammo

[Stopper]

Could that Mr. Paul be Ron Paul from Texas - probably!!!!

That man knows a freedom and liberty El-Dubya will never know!!!!

'WHAT A SORRY STATE OF AFFAIRS"

that any of the 10 Rights, needs to have Congressional approval. how low have we gotten to??? our Rights were approved along time ago, by mean of virtue, and vision. there should be no need to have a law to reaffirm them. even if it does pass, what will state and local gummints do to get around it.

just S.O.S.* again.

It doesn't matter what the federal government does if the local politicians keep their head up their @$$, the local laws can be more restrictive than the federal laws, what can't be is local laws more liberal than the federal laws.

No doubt it would be a giant leap if it ever get aprooved, but the local politicians have to amend the local laws in order to make some diference to the mere mortals.
