The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

If they do let us in, I wonder if we will be allowed any floor time to express our objections? This is where we could use our public speakers, or anyone who can intelligently address each point with solid facts to disprove thier claims.

I can already see errors in thier facts as presented in the text of thier cover. It is nothing more than typical anti-gun hype, thinly disguised as terrorism.

This would be a great opportunity to clear up some of the lies, and a well presented case against this legislation will go very far, it worked wonders in Maine.

Hopefully this won't go far, in order to put a wrinkle in their armor we need to get some good people over there who can get the job done, similar the what the members in Maine did when they were presented with a proposed AWB of thier own.  

Well I could see from the amount of posts who really gives a SHIT.

Don't bitch when your guns are gone.
