I strongly prefer the Wexler bill as well, and I am concerned about what could happen at the state level. Still, if we decide to do nothing at the federal level and hope for the status quo, I think we'll end up with a federal ban. The feds hate a vacuum. We saw it with UIGEA. I think we're best off fighting as hard as we can and demonstrating our strength. Are we better off with a stalemate at the federal level? Maybe, but that's better than a federal ban.
I personally hope that we end up with a situation where, at minimum, states can't opt out of anything they permit at B&M facilities. Still, I hope we won't fear success.
