Legislation To Support

I received a letter from Congressman Simpson (R-ID) who again reiterated his opposition to H.R. 45 (The Blair Holt Act). He also recently signed on to legislation that supports the Second Amendment and I encourage everyone to call their senators and congressment to support this legislation.

H.R. 17, the Citizen’s Self-Defense Act, asserts that a person has the right to obtain a firearm for security and defense.

H.R. 442, the Veteran’s Heritage Firearms Act of 2009, rectifies current law that would punish a World War II or Korean War veteran for not registering a war relic firearm. It provides limited amnesty to these veterans and allows them to register without fear of prosecution for thus far failing to do so.

H.R. 1071, the Firearms Interstate Commerce Reform Act, would remove several unnecessary prohibitions and would restore the right of law abiding citizens to sell firearms to those who live in other states. The bill allows all firearm licensees to transfer firearms at gun shows to any individual, regardless of home state, in compliance with other state laws and after proper criminal background checks.
