This bill makes too much sense to have any chance of passage.

About as much chance as a snowball in Hades as long as you know who is in office.

Yeah, I don't think it will get past the President's desk. At least then there will be no more ambiguity in what the President actually thinks about the 2nd Amendment. Not that many who get their news outside of the main stream media would be unclear about where the President stands. If the MSM reports on it at all, they will spin it as the President standing up for everyone's safety against the crazy right wing who "bitterly clings to their guns and religon".

I agree with the principle however politicians being, well, politicians-and leading into national elections-this seems more like a publicity stunt than any viable legislation.
Whatever it takes I suppose but it would be better all around to simply vote out all politicians who don't actually get it...

While I applaud the effort 100%, it reeks of 2016 politics.

Why does it have to be 41 pages long?
That is what's wrong with bills introduced........way to complicated and involved to read and understand.

Probably because it amends a lot of other laws that are 84,129 pages long.....each.

A 41 page bill that will somehow give strength to the Bill of Rights 27 word 2A. If this bill does not work, how about a 200 page bill to back up the 41 page bill that backs up the Bill of Rights 27 word 2A?
It would seem to me congress could pass all of the pro-2A bills they want and the Prince-in-Chief will veto them. If by some divine act we get a veto proof majority, out comes the pen and cell phone and some sort of unconstitutional "executive action" to negate constitutional congressional action. Mr. Speaker and Mr. Senate Majority need to find their constitutional balls on this and stop this tinhorn-in-chief but......so it goes.
What part of "Shall not be infringed" is not clear?

Why not declare the law null and void instead of amending? Larry

DC Gives up ban on carrying weapons. Some good comments at the end of the article.
D.C. gives up on ban on carrying guns in public; city to focus on defending concealed-carrying regs - Washington Times

The headline: D.C. gives up on ban on carrying guns in public seems to contradict the article.
They didn't give up on anything first of all. The first sentence implies that one could now carry in D.C., which is not true. They may have given up one aspect of the fight, but the law has by no means changed.
Maybe with the recent court rulings against them, and the Rubio law he's proposing, they're suddenly feeling the need to get back off the radar?
