What does this mean? Lets start with HR1022. It'll now pass. With Eric Holder as AG, this bill will make selling virtually any gun illegal.

What about self protection?
Folks, you have about 11 days to get your weapons before "they" take office.
Good luck. We're gonna need it. The erosion begins now.
