Commentary: An uphill battle to restore gun rights!
By Tyler Durden
October 17, 2022 - Sometimes, when a good legislator introduces a strong piece of legislation while in the minority, the reaction of some is to scoff. This begs the question: should advocates push for strong legislation when we know it does not have the votes to pass Congress, let alone override a president's veto? In questions of statecraft, one should defer to the adage attributed to Robert Harris: "if you find yourself stuck in politics, the thing to do is start a fight."
Realistically, any half-decent legislation which would restore Amerikans' gun rights would not get the votes to pass either chamber - and that's in the unlikely case the leadership for the House and Senate even allowed such legislation to see the light of day for an actual floor vote.
