So, politics as usual is still operating in D.C. and people are rolling in anti-gun legislation. Anyone who gets mail from the NRA-ILA will probably be familiar with these but for those who don't, or who haven't written their representatives yet, here's a heads up. I am sure some of these bills "come up every year" but the only way we keep them from passing it to keep objecting to them every year!
The text of these bills can be looked up here: http://thomas.loc.gov/home/c111query.html
First is legislation to "close" the gun show "loophole". I think I gave up on reading when the bill cited the Brady campaign... S843 and HR2324
Second is a bill to require Federal licensing, fingerprinting and testing of all firearm owners. HR45
Next up is a bill to restrict semiautomatic "assault" rifles and "large" capacity magazines to those over 21. HR257
Another bill would prevent anyone on the "terrorist" watch list from buying a gun. Of course, no one has any control over who the government puts on this list or why and there is no way to appeal placement on the list. HR2159 and S1317
Last, but certainly not least is a plan to create a national registry of gun owners by keeping firearm sale records from being destroyed. S2820
Time to start getting those emails out guys!
