Note:
It should be immediately obvious to Us, amongst DC.com and anyone else who is up on their 2A and civil rights laws, that this is not what in title upon first blush it might seem and be purported to be.
For persons who are without a clue I can though easily see how they would jump to support this and think it's a good thing.
A critical eye is required here to understand exactly what is being proposed, and why it's a sucka play for suckers.
