No matter what law gets passed anything 2nd Amendment has to pass through the Supreme Court. It's too sensitive for any law to just be accepted and implemented without some kind of Supreme court action. There must of been something else in that bill for Grassley and Ernst to vote for it. Since we don't really know what is in the bill none of us know why they voted that way. There has to be something in it that got their "yes" vote.

I sent an email to Senator Grassley about his vote on March 10th. Here is part of his reply. Basically he felt trapped about voting "Yes" because the Congress has passed 3 continuing resolutions to keep country financed and this would of been the 4th. The other reason was to provide aid for the Ukrainians.
I am deeply frustrated that I and other senators who support helping heroic Ukrainians defend themselves from a barbaric onslaught were forced into a corner on the FY22 omnibus spending bill. I want to make it clear that I oppose the FY22 omnibus spending levels and the broken process congressional leaders in the House and Senate used to get it passed.
However, I voted for the H.R.2471, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 when it passed the Senate on March 10, 2022, because I could not in good conscience vote in a way that would further delay urgently needed support for Ukrainians fighting for their freedom on the front lines against tyranny.To learn more about the actions I have taken to stand against Putin’s aggression before and after his invasion of Ukraine, you can visit my website at
