That ought to apply to guns too.

Today it would be virtually straight party line vote, only there wouldn’t BE a vote in the Senate, you couldn’t get past the fillibuster.

We don’t need a more robust PLCAA, anyway. We need a more robust 18 U.S. Code § 242. And THAT might get some Democratic votes.
