Two bloody noses for the NRA in the big spending bill. No wonder the conservatards are losing their shit over it.

Quote:Omnibus spending bill passes the House, with two losses for NRA and a win for sanity
Quote:Those wins are more than symbolic. While the Fix NICS bill to expand background checks on gun sales is far from a solution, the fact that it wasn't paired with the bill that Republicans were insisting it on—a national concealed carry permit reciprocity—is pretty huge. Republican leadership totally blinked on that one, in the face of Freedom Caucus outrage.
Likewise, the bill finally, after two decades, will essentially lift the ban on CDC gun violence research, something that Democrats have been talking about for those two decades.
