Finally heard from Rep. Dank on the 'ban the militia' amendment

Basically says 'The amendment was passed and sent to conference as a courtesy to Rep. Shelton; the bill's author objects to some the language- including the mention of militias- and the bill will die in conference if the objected-to language is not removed.'

Yeah, it's good the thing doesn't have the kind of support indicated by the vote; it's really annoying that an amendment like this would be almost unanimously passed just as a 'courtesy'.
