So you're saying she was a Republican?

Backwards. The party with a vested interest in keeping people dependent on professionals who dole things out to them is the Democrats. That's the backbone of their entire constituency and the framework within which they describe everybody: needing a handout, or needing to be used to pay for handouts. Without playing middlemen to that one-way street, there would be almost not power in that camp. And so they seek to preserve it at every turn.

Does this mean I will have to buy special gloves that have my fingerprints on them?

And does this mean that if my wife wants (or, more importantly, needs) to grab and use "my" gun that she'll also need gloves with my fingerprints on them, and I'll need a way to emulate her fingerprints?

This is all entirely nonsense. The bill is a stealth approach to making guns cost more, akin to those feckless plans to tax ammo at 1000% in order to attempt to change human behavior among psychopaths and dedicated criminals.

I am entirely for gun manufacturers making and offering such guns to those who want them if they think there's a market and they want to serve that market. Requiring such is complete BS.

This isn't exactly sensible gun control. A reliable gun is a necessity for gun safety. You give people the false impression of safety and the ignorant and foolish will take additional risks.

Sensible gun control involves things like universal background checks and mandatory firearm safety and local self defense law tests/training.

Its because everything else the conservatives believe in is so ridiculous, they just assume the right to bear arms is just has terrible. The right to bear arms is literally the only thing the conservatives get even remotely right.

Most self labeled liberals are not truly liberal in the classical sense, they are merely anti-conservative.

I say this as a radical progressive gun toting liberal socialist.

So is it a case of where they start out following the ethics guidelines the classes taught them, but end up pushing the edge and pushing the edge until they go too far, with the process generally taking years, as they slowly become disillusioned and greedy?

You'd hope that they start out ethical. Judge Wright in California said that their porn trolling cases were basically allowed because they found the nexus of outdated copyright laws, a paralyzing social stigma for the defendant, and potentially expensive litigation that people want to avoid. It just seems like the lawyer's version of a get-rich-quick scheme. They can interject into class action suits and extract a payment that way with minimal effort, they can monitor bittorrent and send settlement letters to downloaders for a few thousand with minimal effort, etc.
