Thanks?

Senator David Vitter’s amendment to prohibit the use of funds appropriated under the Homeland Security appropriations bill (H.R. 5441) for the confiscation of lawfully possessed firearms during an emergency or major disaster passed the United States Senate with broad bi-partisan support, the final vote margin was 84-16. In the House, Congressman Bobby Jindal of Louisiana introduced HR 5013, the “Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006,” an NRA-supported bill amending federal emergency statute laws to stop local authorities from confiscating lawfully owned firearms during times of disaster.

Gee, I don't know what to say. Should I say "thanks"??? Should I sigh and say "has it really come to this?" If I remember my civics class correctly (yeah, it was a long time ago, but my mind isn't that dull), there was something about the Bill of Rights being written out and codified specifically so the rights listed would never be violated. Now it takes a vote from Congress to say, "Yeah, I guess we'll let you keep your 2nd amendment rights a bit longer."

I guess I won't complain - it could be worse.
