They introduced these bills last Congress too. 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. I would suspect they would gather co sponsors rapidly. The text of these bills are not available yet. Thomas usually is about a day behind. |

So HR72 is a bill to investigate the ATF? ETA - Nolo, take out the "mailto:" portion before your top two links. No, its a bill to put more ATF agents on the border to stop ATF agents from sending firearms over the border |

What's the problem with HR133? Sounds like that would be a good bill for us. Get rid of the gun free school zone or am I miss reading that? It's sponsored by a Republican from Kentucky. No problem with it. Also no cosponsors. |

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. You think reloading components will not be included in an online ammo ban? .... |

Dear lord,
they are like a bunch of little kids. How many times do you have to say no before they get a backhand. I wish they would pass a reverse term limit on bills and\or similes of those bills for ten years. Like a bunch of small yapping dogs. |

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. 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. |

Quoted:
Do not take anything for granted.
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. |

I noticed there are no bills that require MENTAL HEALTH background checks and a requirement that Doctors must submit this information. Also a bill that requires all guns be locked up if there is a person with mental health problems living in the house or has access to it. I know I'll get flamed for these but crazy people with guns kinda scare me.

Thomas usually is about a day behind. Watching the co-sponsors as they sign on to the bill is a good way to see where the support goes. The anti's will always submit the bills and get other anti's to sign on. If there is a big Dem push for more control the favorite bills will get co-sponsors quick. The lack of co-sponsors signing up would show that their is no big Democrat gun control push happening in the House. I don't think the Dems as a whole want a gun control fight. Obama and the hard core anti-gun Dems do but the majority of the Dems do not fall into that category. They remember 1994, they know most elections are close, they know that passing more gun control will not get them any more voters (all the anti's vote for Dems already) and will light a fire under the supporters of their opposition. The biggest indicator will be when and how many co-sponsors in the House sign on to the gun control bills. |
