It's a dangerous and frightening time in America today as the nation hurtles toward tyranny, and our right to speak out and protest continues being challenged and undermined.

The bill still has a long way to go before it draws enough support to pass both the house and senate in agreement. The sticking points seem to be in the perception of amnesty, enforcement and the 1-day background check provision!
