17. An unfunded mandate for Amtrak

Hmmmm. Almost as if, under the guise of some nitwit Second Amendment argument, some folks are trying to deprive Amtrak of its federal funding by forcing it to incur an additional cost without a concomitant funding source. Well, nobody will object to paying an extra $25 per leg of a train trip to put a system in place and employ enough people to check, track, and report firearms, right?

I wonder if there is a companion bill in the House, or if the Senate is just jerking off the gun aficionados? Not like there's anything important to attend to, so it's no biggie.
