The above was the headline in today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the bill signed was a supposedly much amended version of H.R. 2640.
While the Chief Bushy signing this legislation might not be all that much of a surprise to people, the following facts could be viewed otherwise. Both the House and Senate passed this legislation on the basis of UNRECORDED VOICE VOTES. Passage of legislation by voice votes might not be, of and in itself, all that unusual, this process is often used respecting NON-CONTROVERSIAL LEGISLATION. Was H.R. 2640 NON-CONTROVERSIAL, not that I had noticed, but I've been wrong before.
Well people, the deed is done, and though there is some dispute re the following, I submit that considerable aid and comfort was given the Anti Civil Rights/Anti Self Defense/Anti Gun cabal that we have in this country. Once again, I could be wrong here, however I don't think so.
Given that Congress is in recess, the women and children might be released from the storm cellar and the good whiskery perhaps put back on the table, what to do. What people might do is perhaps the following, assuming that they are less than content with the manner in which this deed was done. Write, e-mail and or phone, perhaps all of the above, your elected things inquiring as to how it was that so unusual an approach was used to obtain passage of this piece of legislation, legislation that was about as far from being NON-CONTFOVERSIAL as it is possible to get, and still be on the planet. Such questions might even elicit an answer, who knows. Even silence, which is most likely what questioners will receive is, of and in itself, an answer of sorts. Whether or not this sort of "answer" is acceptable to the citizenry is another question, the answer to which remains to be seen.
