I think multiple smaller bills make more sense as then each one can be debated on its own merits rather than sweeping generalizations. But I've long thought our bills should generally be more concise and individualized rather than the typical omnibus bill that's presented now.
I sort of wonder if the 26th would pass today. As I remember, the main thrust of the argument behind it was the basic unfairness involved in drafting someone and sending them to Vietnam, when they weren't even allowed to vote. With all that's come out about brain maturity since then, no draft, and with the shootings by guys in the 18-21 bracket, I'm not sure it would...
You conveyed my message better than I did.

Just read it. I sure wish they'd raised the age to 21, because a lot of these guys have no juvenile record, but it probably wouldn't pass...Senate group agrees on broad outline of new gun law after Uvalde massacre
A bipartisan group of senators has reached a general agreement on new gun legislation after weeks of negotiations in the wake of recent mass shootings, including the Uvalde, Texas, elementary school massacre. One or more of these provisions could be dropped, the aide said.www.yahoo.com
The Democrats need to be content with singles rather than home runs.

Opinion: There's no way to fix the Second Amendment. Let's just get rid of it
Bill Press, the liberal pundit, is willing to say what has long been unsayable in US politics: The time has come to repeal Second Amendment protections of the right to have a gun, which have caused countless deaths and untold blood shed in the United States.

Guys, I don’t know how I feel about some teachers who go crazy on kids for chewing gum in class carrying a gun. Some teachers, I would trust, but not all. Some can’t handle the responsibility of keeping up with it all the time.This seems fine...

There's also the problem of how teachers can keep the guns secure but easily enough accessible to do any good. I've had good friends and relatives who are teachers. All hate the idea. Some females think the gun could be taken and used against them...
I’m glad they all hate it. You have to supervise the hall in between classes and it is hard to watch inside your classroom when the kids are filing in for class. I guess teachers who carry a gun will have to have it on them all the time. This will scare some kids seeing a teacher with a gun. They are used to an SRO (cop) carry a gun and a taser, but not their English teacher who is teaching them how to use a comma.
also, we don't pay them enough to take on yet more responsibilities
