In a time where the decisions and mind set of many Americans leaves me dumbfounded this is definitely a breath of fresh air. I wonder if any of the people who have been prosecuted for gun possession in the past will be able to have their crimes rescinded? Thanks for the up-date.

At this point in time, SOA seems to get the biggest bang for the buck, but the NRA does lots behind the legislative scenes, so a lot happens without public notice or coverage. We need them all!
