Sweeping anti-terror laws and taking all the guns away from poor people (what's it going to cost to get psych evals and training like this? What's the licensing fee? How many guns will this take away from well off white people?)

        damn really? i don't know much about guns but i know that the laws are always asinine around them. here i was thinking, hey maybe i can't have a rifle with a folding stock or a pistol grip, but at least they allow you to have 1 (one) grenade launcher.

      That's basically every gun control law's definition of an assault rifle in the past 40 years. That's actually more permissive than NY/NJ's laws, and probably a few other states.

      Complete shit, of course, but also not beyond the usual bounds of idiocy that creeps into these bills.
