We're the Military and Airpower Guys of Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online + a stray we found wandering around looking lost.

I was asked for my opinion on the bill - and this is what I see on first scan, which of course is not definitive. That said- it looks okay to me on a quick scan. I should note, I know that the NRA has been working with the bill sponsors on the wording of the bill, and this represents the negotiated bill - what I haven't seen yet is any official NRA comment. Heh. I may be... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/hr_2640_changes.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/hr_2640_changes.html Wed, 13 Jun 2007 10:52:25 -0600 While there's no doubt about that, Jim - this really is just closing a true loophole. The question is, down the road, how does it get implemented by the states and feds, and how do the anti's find ways to expand definitions to widen the net? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/hr_2640_changes.html#comment-61121 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/hr_2640_changes.html#comment-61121 Wed, 13 Jun 2007 15:17:31 -0600 How bout this as a first .. no Moore talk from me. Strange collection of sponsors. Of course I tend to be jaded when it comes to Congress. Few can object to this thing, however it's the creeping incrementalism thing that concerns me. I refuse to shake hands with anyone in congress and not count my fingers after. I believe this is the first ... most even in nature ... and non-objectionable bill in what will be a continuing flood of stuff to make "Gun Control" not quite the "third rail" it has been for Liberals. Isn't "Shumer" Hebrew for "Trust me"? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/hr_2640_changes.html#comment-61120 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/hr_2640_changes.html#comment-61120 Wed, 13 Jun 2007 13:34:33 -0600
