S 397 passes 65-31!

The Protection of Lawful Commerce In Arms Act passed the Senate today 65-31 with only one minor amendment requiring new guns to come with some sort of gun lock. Since over 90% of guns already come with them, and there is no requirement that they be used, its essentially a meaningless amendment.
