I also despise the “deem” thing and think that anything that passes either house of Congress must ACTUALLY pass.
However, if someone could sneak in a repeal of 18 U.S.C. 922(o), I could live with that. It’d make up for the parliamentary shenanigans that got that abomination passed into law in the first place, and would be a true schaedenfreude moment when the liberal fascists realized the implications.
Otherwise, stop the deeming.
Make it all of 922. The entire statute is a blatant “infringement”.
