The House has passes, pretty much along party lines, a bill to fund the Commerce and Justice departments for next year. Included were several amendments considered favorable to gunnies.
Swell, except that without control of the Senate and a favorable president, the amendments will likely be removed in the Senate and with few or none of them put back in during reconciliation talks, the bill will then go to the president.
Putting all those nice amendments in is the House Republicans was of suggesting what they might do if they had a Republican Senate and white house as well. Senate votes against them will become campaign advertisements. Likewise in the House, embattled Dems will vote for the amendments so they can claim to be pro-gun for the election knowing that the Senate will prevent any of this from actually happening.
Next year.
