#1 "virtual wholesale slaughter."

Sounds like the Moran (D-VA) has been playing too many video games.

#2 The rule from the Department of Justice (DOJ) requires dealers to report within five days multiple sales to the same person of semiautomatic rifles with removable magazines.

Given that the individuals making such purchases are most likely to be ATF/DoJ personnel or agents, won't they accept a photocopy with a new date stamp on each submission?

#3 "...the amendment to the fiscal 2012 Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies appropriations bill that would nix funding for the rule."

"That bill later died in the Senate, and Democrats stripped the reporting-requirement provision from a subsequent measure."

This is why conference committees exist, so that one chamber cannot force another chamber to support an amendment, or to strip an amendment, without some horse trading going on.

The House Republican leadership can insist that the amendment be restored in the final vote, or the overall funding bill is dead.

#6 I suspect if the Fast and Furious stuff hadn't hit the news we'd be blasted in the media about gun deaths in Mexico caused by American Assault weapons and a lot of pressure would have come around on anyone voting against this measure. Kind of suprised they didn't just table this now that the cat is out of the bag.

#7 Probably trying to ram it through before Fast and Furious hits the main stream media and everyone hears about it.

#8 I tend to agree with ya rjschwarz at 7, bill was likely set into motion a little while back and now they (gun control) see that window closing, down to executive orders and shadow dealings.

But I don't like that thought, it shows a concerted effort and raises the question, when and why did that effort begin? I find myself looking at the possibility that this act was part of the mission briefing as contingency plan and have to then consider as part of the mission and I'm not ready to do that - yet. The more information which comes out the more I don't like it.

So, why not greater restrictions on north border states, or is that next. What say you Canada, ready for the democrats to craft a plan to flood your country with violence so that they could extend this failed act into a nationwide USA social experiment?

Is it inappropriate to state that if the border was secure, this alleged activity could not happen...unless the FAT is involved.

#9 "have to then consider as part of the mission and I'm not ready to do that - yet"
