I've got a few. I do think they are useful in some situations. I don't think they are a panacea.

They certainly don't make it so that you can hunt deer in a park and no one knows that you are shooting.

I also rather doubt that congress, being as close as it is, that this will pass through and hit Trump's desk.

If it does, odds are it will be attached to some compromise legislation with something Trump finds rather unpalatable on it.

That being said, if it passes, that's a good thing.
