What's germane for S. 397?
In my opinion, the bill is legal reform. If an amendment is gun control, pro or con, it's not germane. Best not to open Pandora's box. Many would like to, but don't go there. We're just as bad as the other side in reacting to "did somebody say "gun"?!!
Gun control should never coexist with something good so that it can be singled out as the unconstitutional abomination that it is.
Congress demonstrates why it is dysfunctional when it can't ever pass a "clean" bill. Voting for passage should mean endorsement and accountability for any and all provisions...no excuses, no cop outs, no compromises. Without the BS they have plenty of time to process narrowly defined bills. There must be some method of doing this while complying with the rules. The whining is when chicanery is not allowed. I guess it would be really boring without all the gaming.
