As someone who has only recently gotten into guns ( I am scheduled to take my CFSC June 12 ) is it worthwhile in your opinion for me to try and get my RPAL? Will the government drag their feet on any new restricted license applications until this law passes.

I had no interest in handguns when I got my license but I took the RPAL just in case one of my NRs suddenly becomes restricted. I say go for it. I also enjoyed the RPAL course because I had 0 experience with handguns before so it was nice to learn about them and how to handle them safely.

Yeah, the Libs will probably come for semi auto shotguns and rifles in a short while. I am already seeing a media campaign start up about fucking Airsoft guns FFS!

It's past a media campaign, they just are banning airsoft guns
