Will that list of assignments to the committee change with the formation of the new Congress?

Seriously? WTF do you think the "gun show loophole" is?

IT REFERS TO PRIVATE PARTY SALES.

Good lord. DON'T GIVE THEM AN INCH.

Quoted:


NY closed its "gunshow loophole" and we still have private sales. Depends on what the language says. And don't give them an inch is a fine and dandy talking point if everybody agrees with us... But they don't. I would love to see no restrictions, I'll fight to prevent them, but I've also spent close to 20 years in politics and public policy and understand that it sometimes gets to the point where it's clear you're going to lose and you mitigate damage. Our starting point is no new laws, theirs is take away all the guns. I don't see either side getting their ultimate position.

Quoted:
Some of those aren't that bad. Like the "making sure prohibited persons are included in NICS" thing.

Edit: Missed the background checks for all purchases part. Too early. Sorry.

Quoted:

Most likely. I think Boehner had to make some assurances to the conservatives to retain his speakership and secure Cantor's backing, and the conservatives made the vote uncomfortably close to remind him that they will not be dismissed. I'm hoping that they secured some plum committee assignments.

This.  To think that we can keep things as they are right now is crazy.  I want to, but they will make somethin stick this time.

Quoted:







Actually, no new law is needed to accomplish a ban on mail-order ammo.  



The ONLY reason we are allowed to buy ammo through the mail is a law known as the Firearm Owners Protection Act  (or FOPA '86).  



All the administration has to do is STOP enforcing FOPA.  If FOPA is ignored, it means the Gun Control Act of 1968 applies, and that law PROHIBITS ammo purchase through the mail.



How can they simply ingonore a law or refuse to enforce it?  Google these:  "defense of marriage act" (a standing law - ignored) and "the Dream Act"  (a proposed law which never passed but was implemented anyway).  Then try explaining how you can rent a storefront & open a "marijuana dispensary" in clear violation of the Controlled Substances Act and be confident that no legal action will be taken against you?



Strange days indeed.

As well as every year going back into the early 1990s.  This is standard procedure.  At the beginning on a Congress thousands of resolutions are submitted and then assigned to a committee. Most of them never see the light of day after that.  

Here is the first thing to be concerned with, the number of co-sponsors.  The co-sponsors are an indicator of support for the specific language in the bill.  Right now all those bills have zero except one bill that has 1 co-sponsor.  There are 435 members of the House.  The bills have no support and they are not moving.  A Democrat bill with 30 Democrats as co-sponsors is a bill that will go no-where in the house.  If a bill gets close to 100 co-sponsors of both Democrats and Republicans, then that bill gaining bi-partisan support and the committee might start trying to move it.

The second thing to be concerned with the committee a bill is assigned to, the chairman of the committee, and the members on committee.  If the majority party of the committee is pro-gun then a anti-gun bill will go nowhere.  That is rare though as RINOs will side with the Dems and vote to bring it out of committee.

Once a bill actually gets out of committee that is the time to be truly concerned.  Then all the cosponsors and specific language becomes really important.  That is also the point that Amendments can be added to it making the bill better or worse.

Quoted:


I'm not sure why you would think that.  Any legislator in the House or Senate can submit a resolution.  The Senate will have their own set of resolutions that they submitted.  That won't start until January 22nd though because Reid made that the first day resolutions could be submitted.

I'd hate for the no online ammo thing. It's already hard enough to find stuff especially when you have guys who don't work and can wait at the walmart sporting goods counter to buy up everything. LGS here isn't too bad with prices. Maybe a $1 difference but who knows what it'll be if you can no longer buy online.

I think what will happen is you'll be able to buy online but there be some additional tax put on it

Sent another set of e-mails. I've called and e-mailed at this point. I think I've done about 10 sets of e-mails in the last two weeks.

If everyone who is spending $1300 on a base model AR-15 would also spend $35 to join the NRA, we would be doing better. If everyone who is buying $60 PMAGS would spend $35 to join the NRA we would be doing better. If everyone who is participating in the panic buying at any level would e-mail/call their reps, we would be in a good position.

You're already on "the list." When the bans come the ATF is going to go to all of the FFLs and demand their 4473s and bound books. There may not be a database today, but they can create one in a couple weeks. I know you don't think e-mails will help, well they sure as hell aren't going to hurt. Take 3 minutes out of your day and send some e-mails. EVERYONE.
