I think the intent is just to remove public transportation of target competition firearms for the 2016 Olympics (which Chicago didn't get, anyway). Are people using public transportation for target competition firearms anywhere now?

The House and Senate will not be in session today. We do want to keep an eye on two committee hearings. Mauserme will be away today so we appreciate anyone available to help report on the committee hearings .

It is. Capfax was pretty vague, probably intentionally. Miller claims to be a gun owner but openly supported dealer licensing and fix the foid.

Yes, Senator Villivilam filed it as a shell bill earlier this year, then recently filed an amendment adding language we predictably object to.
