Found this on another forum. Thought I would share since I haven't seen it anywhere else. And nobody seems to know about it. Here is the full text and link.

AN ACT relating to firearms and declaring an emergency.

    Just like my home state of Nevada, nobody ever thought a state full of rural self-surviving people would allow this kind of legislation to even hit the floor of their Assembly or Senate.

    It's become 'politically correct' for the 'professional politician' to be anti-gun. The only holdouts are pretty much token holdouts and aren't seeming to matter.

    That is until the people rise and make it right.
