We all pretty much know the answer but this article talks about the organization and implementation of them. The analyst says that while people like Soros and Schwab are involved, they're not the ones throwing the switch. This is an excellent read, in my opinion. https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/...-ice-riots

I keep seeing posts and psa’s about HR38.
Here’s my take: I believe that, even if they ‘fix’ it, places like California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Chicago, L.A., NYC… will defy the law, arrest you, confiscate your weapon, and you’ll rot in jail until your State’s Attorney manages to get you out- maybe. The Supreme Court will refuse to hear challenges until half a dozen lower courts have had their say.
And if they pass it without fixing it, it actually makes it more dangerous than ever. Right now, I know where I can, and cannot, carry. But HR38 allows States and locals so much ambiguity that it can change and services like CCW Safe and USCCA won’t know until it’s too late.
I don’t really believe there’s an appetite- on EITHER SIDE OF THE AISLE -to pass good national reciprocity, de-regulate suppressors, or void the NFA. Trump & Co. are worried about fixing the economy and immigration, and in the mean time nothing good, and likely more damage, will happen to the 2A.
