No chance to get Richmond on board.
Really surprised that Graves hasn't gotten on board.

He is a lost cause. I got a reply from him when I emailed about supporting the HPA with a bunch of BS about how he is Pro-Second Amendment, but doesn't support the HPA. So in other words he is Anti-Second Amendment
Graves needs to get on this though.

The Senate is where an HPA would get held up, they're not gonna get two thirds any time soon.

Here are the 8 I would focus on to get cloture in the Senate:
Heidi Heitkamp
Martin Heinrich
Jon Tester
Angus King
Bill Nelson
Michael Bennett
Joe Donnelly
Tom Udall
ETA: The Senate is not going to act on the HPA without it getting sent over from the House first (IMHO)

I'm sure they will get to it after the health care thing that's trying to get worked out
If the healthcare bill is any indication of how the HPA will go, then don't expect much.

HPA won't pass. Not a popular opinion but it is what I see happening. Too "scary" for politicians and no one is going to convince them otherwise. You have to remember that the vast majority of these idiots have never fired a gun much less thought about legal ownership of a silencer.
They are stuck in the "tool of an assassin" mindset.

No one in government cares about HPA. The industry is too small. There just isn't enough dollars in it to make sense.
Silencer Co and the ASA royally screwed the market and are doing nothing to help re-educate customers.
This guy gets it. Law of unintended consequences. Silencerco had to lay off a large portion of its staff as a result of industry downturn caused by a bill they basically wrote.

I was thinking the same.

Not true. The NRA is fully behind HPA, the cosponsor list is key. If they can get 200 cosponsors it will generally get a floor vote in the House.
If it hasn't passed by Jan 2019, I agree it will never be passed.

Graves not being on board is a shocker.

I was shocked about Graves and Johnson
