Just updated after the midterms. There's certain to be more activity after January, but with the House and Senate controlled by different parties there won't be any new 2A legislation, good or bad, that will pass both houses until after the 2020 elections are done. It WILL be valuable to see which newly elected Congresscritters surprise us and support or oppose 2A bills so we understand better what work needs to be done to protect the 2A.

In the meantime, more important will be to track State bills. We'll be dependent upon our members for that.
