This was referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security back in February, and it hasn't moved since then. There are only two Representatives on that subcommittee that I'd see supporting the bill, and they're a very, very small minority.
The list of co-sponsors is 100% partisian, and they're not in the majority by a long shot. Like all of Ms. McCarthy's other bills, it's an exercise in windmill jousting. Of course, that doesn't stop Dudley Brown from screeching about it, so we'll likely be hearing about it constantly over the next few weeks.

Brown often screeches when there is little or nothing to screech about. The Speaker of the US house has made the statement that H. R. 308 is going nowhere. i believe him. |

Tom Servo, I too, received the NAGR email and in it, he (Brown) states that there are some backdoor dealings being discussed, involving staunch pro-gun legislators. Is there any truth to that? Or any evidence to the contrary?
I agree that the text most likely is designed to elicit support but would he go that far, to implicate friendlies, for his contributions?

Even assuming that the "backdoor dealings" accusation is true, I personally don't see that as a realistic threat at this point. |
