I can't comment on the "working-hard", but I can comment on the proposals

Can we be honest- Most of the proposals that are proposed are non-starters. Whether they are good in theory is irrelevant if they wouldn't even be able to become law. Good proposals don't include things like "taxing ammo 100000%", because we all know that isn't going to happen. My own theory is that many posters get some enjoyment out of making ridiculous suggestions. I have some friends that do that as well- I don't get it.
