We at Gun Law News are looking for individuals that have been made prohibited persons by the Lautenberg amendment. We understand that this information is of a sensative nature. So, right now we are just looking for first person stories of what the LA has done to people. Please come over and...
Gun Law News is looking for first person stories related to the impacts of the Lautenberg Amendment. Ending Lautenberg will be a long, bitter fight and we will need alot of ammo. If your rights have been impacted by Lautenberg, please go over and consider leaving your story in the Forum.
According to this Houston Chronicle story, the NRA has the names of 30-40 victims of illegal disarmament.
Let's hope this story gets some legs and the guilty get their just rewards.
Gun Law News
We have finally completed an analysis of each of the amendments proposed to SB397. There are 37 :eek: of them. Kennedy :barf: got the record for proposing the most (9). Forunately none of those found the Senate floor.
Obviously the list is too long to put here, so check them out at SB397.
We're taking a survey. Since the NRA 2007 convention won't be in Ohio, the governor of Louisiana invited the 2007 convention to her state. Was this a daring invitation? Should the convention move to Louisiana? Vote and leave your comments in our poll.
This morning the Judiciary Committee held a markup session and finally voted to send the bill to the full House. There have been a number of attempts to hobble the bill with amendments. Only one amendment passed. It was of a grammatical nature.
Here is the link for Gun Law News.
Finding the source
If you want a summary of 1703, go to House Bill 1703.
If you are looking for the source, there is a like into the Congressional Record.
HR800 Status
HR800 has passed out of a subcommittee, but not the Judiciary committee. It is currently in markup phase, and was supposed to be looked at Wednesday, but that was postponed. It is supposed to be rescheduled. We are tracking it at House Bill 800
Bill of Rights and Taxes
Here in Colorado there is no sales tax on newspapers. The rational has to do with exercise of the first amendment. So, why is there a sales tax on firearms and ammo?
I don't want any federally provided arms. Anything from the government tends to come with oversight.
What does 1703 Do?
There is an analysis at House Bill 1703.
It appears that:
1) importation of firearms would not be dependent upon 'SU'
2) All shotguns would not be 'destructive devices', so cylinder fed shotguns would no longer be NFA devices (Street Sweeper).
3) Brady Bill (NICS)...
House Bill 1703 was introduced by Rep. Ron Paul last week. Titled 'Second Amendment Protection Act of 2005', it would repeal major sections of federal gun control in one fell swoop. The analysis is yet to be completed, but check out House Bill 1703 and see for yourself.
In reality it...

The testing in question is that done by the BATFE. It is to record their tests, not others test for use by them. It is our check on their credibility. :what:
HB1603 requires videotaping of all firearm and ammunition tests. And, the video must be made available to firearm owners and defendants. Check out House Bill 1603
The Hughes Amendment
The closure of the NFA registry was a result of the Hughes Amendment to FOPA in 1986. You can find some information and links about it on this page: FOPA 86 History.
Please do. Now is the time to start preparing for the next election. When somebody tries to say they are not antigun, lets have the ammunition to show the world the truth. Let's use their own words and actions against them.
I am working on a new site to track developments in gun legislation and provide some history. The main site is at the federal level and over time the information on legislation will feed into profiles of legislators.
In addition, I have built a forum dedicated to the subject. Also forums by...
For those of us outside the beltway, there is a perception that many bills get proposed, but very few get any movement. Even what we believe are the best proposals, never make it out of a committee. Unfortunately this perception is correct. Given the number of bills proposed in the Senate and...
House Rule 947, proposed 2/17, provides for a 25% tax credit (up to $250) for the purchase of residential gun safes. :)
How could the gun grabbers be against it? It's for the kids!
Check out House Rule 947 and follow it to the Congressional Record. See for yourself.
