I'm pretty sure we have all heard about the Second Amendment Guarantee Act.
Many of us might even have read or tried to read or been a part of the whole post on it originally.
(The one where the supposed lawyer who wrote or helped write the bill came in and waa telling us it's pretty much good to go no need to worry it will pass, and even has a better shot of passing than H.R. 38 (national reciprocity)
Well finally weeks later, there is some updates on the bill on congress.org. Me personally would love to see something like this pass and get that POTUS signature inked on it, but I am also willing to bet money it won't even make it out of the house, probably won't even get a vote. Why might you ask?
Here are some comparisons between H.R. 3576 and 38
H.R. 38
Introduced January 3rd 2017
January 3rd 2017 it had 63 Cosponsors (currently 8-17-17 it has 208)
H.R. 3576
Introduced July 28th, 2017
July 28th 2017 it had 0 cosponsors
It is now August 17th 2017, 21 days after introduction, it still has 0 cosponsors
Now we all know (or should) that a bill needs 51% or 218 yes votes to move on to the Senate. I'm not saying that no co sponsors mean that it won't get anyone to vote yes on the bill, but let's look at it for a second, in one hand you have a bill for national reciprocity with almost 51% of the house cosponsoring it along with a sister bill already in the Senate with I believe 36 cosponsors and that has taken 8 months with a strong out of the gate start
Or
You have a bill saying federal regulations is the max and states better fucking listen (I'm so game, based on 2A, 10A) if it even somehow gets past the house the Senate will kick this to the curb so fast it's not even funny.
The one good thing the bill has going for it is the use of interstate commerce which is a federal gig not states.
I hope it or something like it passes, but don't try and tell me it's pretty much all ready to go and not one person is backing this thing 3 weeks after introduction
