You left out the third column of nay-voters:

Sarbanes (D-MD)

Of course, all laws are essentially worthless. They always require *enforcement* to be of any use.
Just because there are some words on a piece of paper saying "no gun confiscation", this does *not* guarantee that [rogue] cops will not attempt same.
Would 'the law' support armed citizens using [deadly] force to resist such cops? If not, this new legislation is BS.
