Well kids you might have heard about this bill coming down the pike for congress, well it's 10 times worse than we thought:

US Congress HB4748 is an assault weapons ban import bill that would redefine an assault weapon as having one feature, it would ban the importation of parts kits and would make it illegal to assemble a parts kit even if you use the correct amount of American parts. It would also ban the import of any firearm than has a fixed magazine that can carry over 10 rounds or any firearm that can accept a 'high capacity' magazine

So the sessions are winding down for the Spring and despite what the gun grabbers are saying the trend so far this year is pro gun bills being passed in an over 5 to 1 ratio.

So far this session 23 bills we have marked as pro-gun have passed while on 4 anti-gun bills have passed.

Good work folks!

http://amgoa.org/Proposed-New-Jersey-Gun-Laws

US Congress HB4905 is a nightmare of a bill that would eliminate almost all the checks and balances and prohibitions the ATF are currently under. On top of that it would make it so the director of the ATF could be appointed by the AG without congressional approval

http://amgoa.org/Proposed-Federal-Gun-Legislation-HB4905/Federal-Law/2384
 
Text finally came in for a new federal bill that showed up late last week. It's called the 'Keep kids safe act of 2016', HB4914.

It would make anyone convicted of a misdemeanor sex offense against a child a prohibited person.

Now let's be honest, no one likes sex offenders, but how exactly is prohibiting someone from owning firearms (due to a misdemeanor no less) going to make any children safe?

I can't see anyone getting ONLY a misdemeanor conviction for a sexual offense when it involves children.

Happened recently here in VA with a politician elected to the VA House of Delegates. Something about sex with a 17 year old and nude photos. Charged with contributing to the deliquency of a minor.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/15/u...t-to-serve-in-jail-as-well-as-house.html?_r=0

He also once brought an AK-47 onto the house floor to make a point about gun control laws, so it seems like this proposed bill might make that harder for him in the future.
 
New today for US Congress:

SB2802 would rewrite firearm laws pertaining to judgement of mental defective to protect people from being wrongly judged as prohibited. The bill would also protect veterans from being labeled as prohibited.

HB4952 would give any dealer that gives up their license, or loses it 60 days to liquidate their inventory. It would also make their expired or revoked license valid for that 60 days. The only exception is in cases of criminal activity.

HB4951 would allow the importation of frames, receivers and barrels, other than handguns, if the purpose is for repairs or replacement.

http://amgoa.org/Proposed-Federal-Gun-Legislation
 
SB2802 would also block the Social Security Administration from doing the same against seniors who have a third party handle their finances. At least that’s what Sen. Cornyn said in his email.
 
New today:

New Jersey:

S2069 would allow off duty law enforcement to carry firearms on state property, including the capital complex.

S2071 would exempt retired law enforcement, with proper identification, from being required to have a firearm purchaser card or a concealed carry license when buying ammunition

http://amgoa.org/Proposed-New-Jersey-Gun-Laws

US Congress:

HB4980 would require ATF to remove incorrect records within 60 days and would allow someone to sue for incorrect information and get an expedited hearing. If the person wins the information must be removed within 5 days and they must be reimbursed for their legal fees.
