Because you just noticed gun cultists are losing, one state at a time?

The federal game is stalled, neutered. Federal preemption is a non-starter, as dead as any federal registration, because it would "dumb down" gun laws on balance.

I don't believe any sane person would bargain away advances just won, sorry.
