SAY WHAT?!?!?!?

I am very confused:

Wednesday the House passed a bill that had already been approved by the Senate that would make it legal to carry concealed and loaded weapons in National Parks. How did that get through the Democrat led Congress? A victory for the Second Amendment! Applause and accolades to those that voted to pass this bill.

Not only does it turn out that this is a positive statement for the 2nd, but also for State's rights. The wording of the bill respects the laws of the States, stating that the law would apply in States where State law allows it. Perhaps the most bizarre statement in the whole thing came from the office of Harry Reid:
A spokeswoman for Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.), one of the Democratic backers of the bill, said Reid viewed the bill as defending the Second Amendment. (WP)

Harry Reid? HARRY REID?!?!?!? The lord high King Liberal himself (co-King with our President, of course) backing a bill defending the Second Amendment. I am very confused. Glad, but confused. There are still plenty unhappy about this of course.
"We have a Democratic president, a Democratic House and a Democratic Senate, and we're passing more gun legislation than when there was a Republican in the White House," said Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), a gun-control advocate. "It's disappointing."

Don't get comfortable; don't think they are going to go away and let this lie. I am waiting for the other shoe to drop.
