Not really a great day... The Senate will destroy this bill. If for some impossible reason they pass it then Obama will veto it. This is good. We don't want this bill to pass. There is no need for further federal government intrusion into state's rights.

Big SD. My man. You're right, we don't want federal intrusion into state's rights. But the states have intruded into the WE THE PEOPLE's rights. Since the constitution doesn't mean crap and the states are allowed to shred the constitution, (specifically amendment number 2 in this case) this bill is doing something unconstitutional to fight something unconstitutional. In a country where the constitution is dead and the American voters have abandoned the American revolution and the idea of freedom - I think this is the best we can do for now.
I would have to disagree with the notion that states have rights. They have powers(or authority) that is granted to them by the People of the United States of America. This seems to be specifically what the Federal government's job is; the job of protecting the rights of the People, because people have rights, from the abuse of those rights by the authority of the State governments.
If the law granted more powers of regulation to the Federal government, than that would make it something requiring strong scrutiny. Since it merely restores the right of citizens which we should have(the equal protection of our immunities and privileges) then it seems to be constitutional for the Feds to mandate that the States respect our right.
I' can't yet find the seven republicans who voted against it..
In NO WAY is this good! The bill as written can be used to do a 180 degree reversal.:cuss::banghead:
Any step forward for gun rights is a good step, Veto'd or not... it shows a force of American demand..

Isn't that like two wrongs don't make a right?
