Still to this day I scratch my head every time Carolyn McCarthy gets re-elected. The only time you hear a peep out of this bitch is when there is gun bill to push. Has she ever written any legislation of her own, has she ever done anything in congress but play the victim? A nurse turned victim, turned congressional retard and how was she qualified for a such a position to begin with? She's pimps her husbands dead corpse for votes. |

Won't hold my breath while waiting ... |

I noticed most of those bills have no co-sponsers. That`s usually a bad sign for the author as far as getting the bill out of committee.. The more co-sponsors, the more likely a bill will get out of committee for a floor vote.

Laws we need:
Close the ACLU loop hole that allows states NOT to report mentally dangerous individuals to the FBI Terrorist training for all first responders including CPR. What was taught at high schools in Europe in the 1970s. Protect kids in school. Not just armed security. Active shooter traing for all LEO. Proper active shooter training for teachers and students. Even if all the bills to take away rights pass. Kids will still be woefully unprotected. If not law already no funds for PDs that are not accredited. |

(Taken after the 2004 AWB Re-authorization Vote) She's in the Senate. They can't propose bills until January 22nd I believe it is. It's been posted in this thread many times. Just bide your time, there will be a whole slew of new Senate-originated gun bills at that time. Until then, we can keep the pressure on our Reps in the House to make sure the House bills that have been proposed die in committee. |

What are the chances of H.R 133 passing? I feel very strong that teachers have a right to defend themselves. I am also vested in this as my wife is a teacher. I can hope right? First, the federal gun free school zones act exempts concealed pistol permit holders. The text of the law in subparagraph B, subsection ii says the gun free school zone does not apply if: if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license
Unfortunately, North Carolina bans open or concealed carry of a firearm on educational property. I was hoping you'd be lucky and have laws like Michigan does. Here, we have weapon free school zones by state law, but carry permit holders are exempt. Our carry law prohibits concealed carry on school property, but does not mention open carry. Therefore, by virtue of not explicitly stating it is illegal, it becomes legal to open carry on school property if you are a concealed pistol permit holder. |

I mean, what if you were convicted of battery for punching someone in the face when you were 18? I guess now no permit for you at 50. |

Why no sponsor info? http://moran.house.gov/ Washington, DC – Congressman Jim Moran, Northern Virginia Democrat, today introduced the “NRA Members’ Gun Safety Act” to strengthen vulnerabilities in our gun safety laws. The bill would implement five commonsense gun safety reforms that polling shows are supported by at least 63 percent of NRA members.

So is the "storage device" required above going to be a ten dollar cable lock or a thousand dollar gun safe?

What a nice "right wing" sounding bill... "NRA Members Gun Safety Act"
If Wayne LaPierre isn't all over the TV calling BS by noon, he has missed the bus. |

I've got it, we'll introduce the "Machine Gun Registration Act of 2013" and reopen the NFA to new automatics!
Don't you liberals want those evil machine guns to be registered? Do it for the children. |

Just sent the NRA ILA a message directing them to this legislation and telling them if they have nothing to do with this resolution, they had better distance themselves from it and make it public that they had nothing to do with it, because it is going to paint them in a bad light, and gun owners are going to start thinking they have caving to the left and compromising. |

Thank You for your diligence Nolo. This. Nolo what do you think of the proposed legislation ? it's fucking scary. `Sec. 922A. Attorney General's discretion to deny transfer of a firearm `The Attorney General may deny the transfer of a firearm pursuant to section 922(t)(1)(B)(ii) if the Attorney General determines that the transferee is known (or appropriately suspected) to be or have been engaged in conduct constituting, in preparation for, in aid of, or related to terrorism, or providing material support thereof, and the Attorney General has a reasonable belief that the prospective transferee may use a firearm in connection with terrorism.'; (2) by inserting the following new section after section 922A: `Sec. 922B. Attorney General's discretion regarding applicants for firearm permits which would qualify for the exemption provided under section 922(t)(3) `The Attorney General may determine that an applicant for a firearm permit which would qualify for an exemption under section 922(t) is known (or appropriately suspected) to be or have been engaged in conduct constituting, in preparation for, in aid of, or related to terrorism, or providing material support thereof, and the Attorney General has a reasonable belief that the applicant may use a firearm in connection with terrorism.'; and (3) in section 921(a), by adding at the end the following: `(36) The term `terrorism' means `international terrorism' as defined in section 2331(1), and `domestic terrorism' as defined in section 2331(5). `(37) The term `material support' means `material support or resources' within the meaning of section 2339A or 2339B. `(38) The term `responsible person' means an individual who has the power, directly or indirectly, to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the applicant or licensee pertaining to firearms.'. |

Could someone cleverer than I, please compose a two or three sentence argument against that I can use when I contact my reps about these two resolutions.
"I'm opposed to gun safety" just doesn't sound right. |

Quoted: Actually, for all the doom and gloom that has been spouted on here since the Newtown shooting, that list of proposed bills looks pretty damn mild. Not even a single representative has brought forth an AWB. And only Carolyn McCarthy has even introduced legislation limiting mag capacity. And we all know that her gun proposals are pretty much ignored by everyone, including most dems. So I actually think things are looking up as far as new gun laws. Because Biden is oing to present Obama with a cunning plan that bypasses Congress (or so they think). I mean, he's the Annointed One after all, why not rule by decree ala "We Can't Wait"? |

I think it's a terrible idea to misappropriate NRA's name like that, and I hope the NRA does something about it. It seems like an excellent opportunity to point out that the NRA supports "shall issue" and is against ANY kind of registration scheme. Including bans on private transfers and NFA style background checks. |

Quoted: Good 'ole Shela Jackson Lee. She needs a well funded pro-gun opponent during the next election cycle. Badly. I think her district needs a massive influx on new voters that diversifises it. |

Quoted: Quoted: HR 142--no more internet ammo and reporting for bulk ammo purchase? I can't remember the last time I bought ammo in a shop. I can't remember the last time I bought bulk ammo online, probably 2002 or 2003. Since then, I just reload and buy bulk components online. IIRC, before FOPA you had to buy those in a store too - or maybe it was just powder and / or primers? I reloaded then, but there was no Internet. |

They probably named it the NRA bill to try to drive people away from donating to the NRA.

I like how they try to claim regulating CHPs falls under interstate commerce.
