It would be nice if we have a law that says all bills be subject to the people's approval before it is even sent to the Gov'ner for signature, and if they don't pass the people's test, the bill's author gets 30 days to pack up.

Maybe we will have more sensible bills passed by sensible legislators. Or maybe we will run out of 'em.

I haven't read this bill yet but my preliminary understanding is that it proposes a scheme similar to that of the current handgun registration law, where long guns presently owned are not required to be registered, but any new guns bought or transferred are automatically registered during DROS, and those imported into the state must be registered. There will be a grandfathered class of long guns as there is currently is for handguns. It's still a huge shovel full of bull-s, but we needn't ship our rifles and shotguns out of state just yet, unless we are shipping ourselves out as well (New Hampshire here I come).
