The only 12th dimensional chess going on here is the GOP doing their best to keep this story alive and shutting out any coverage of the libertarian party's finest hour so Gary Johnson doesn't peel too many votes away from trump

Feinstein's verson of the bill is garbo, but yes. The Senate is working on compromise legislation.

The Collins compromise amendment will likely still rely on extrajudicial lists to deny people their rights.

Yes

Unlike the senate there are no rules regarding what the democrats are doing

Ok there are rules, but most of them revolve around occupying the floor while in recess or bringing cell phones onto the floor

Capitol: A building or complex of buildings in which any legislature meets.
Capital: A city designated as a legislative seat by the government or some other authority, often the city in which the government is located; otherwise the most important city within a country or a subdivision of it.

The beauty in all this is that on the day Trump tossed his entire Clinton attack on the table, with the goal of dominating the news cycle, the Democrats completely snuffed that out. Pundits were supposed to spend tonight picking over every little detail of his attacks, instead it's going to be old news by the time we get through the sit-in and Brexit.

Oh my god, I didn't realize that...which makes this even better. :allears:

So we've got the Democrats beating the Republicans soundly at their own games, humiliating the R's and the NRA on gun control...AND drowning out Trump? A glorious day for American democracy.

Yeah in the same way bandaid is the name for all adhesive bandages and kleenex is the name for all tissue. There's a term for that, but I can't remember it.
