Seems to me that would be the quickest way to be sure that HR822 wouldn't pass.

+1; if a "poison pill" provision ever existed, this would be it.
I agree with 44 AMP and Tom Servo. This issue is the third rail of American gun politics. It would be nearly impossible for a Hughes repeal to pass unnoticed. HR822 is under a microscope; the only conceivable avenue would be to bury it in a huge omnibus bill, and even if that were done, it would probably have to be sponsored by someone willing to sacrifice their electoral career to it.
Honestly, I think the best hope for a Hughes "repeal" is to somehow neuter it in the courts first, thereby forcing Congress to act. Frankly, I don't see it happening anytime in the near future.
