but I still don't see any discussion as to why or who plunked the mercinary rearrment exempton in on 922(o)
I called my misreptile and have not made any progress.
point that drives me up the wall is this passed in Aug 05 and did not show up in thomas.gov til after the elections of 06.
Does anyone have a congress critter or senator that might elucidate why this was slipped in and not debated anywhere.
second question is why couldn't they have just repealed 922(o) instead.
fyi my misreptile and both senators just lost my vote, forever over this bs.
