Ten New Gun Bills Introduced

On First Day Of Congress

On the first day of the 113th Congress, ten new bills were introduced with an emphasis on guns. The majority of these, eight, were introduced by Democrats. The two that were introduced by freshmen Republican Congressmen are designed to eliminate schools as “gun free zones.”

Four of the bills came from Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), who has been active for some time in trying to push more gun control legislation because of the fact that her husband was shot to death in 1993. McCarthy introduced HR 137, 138, 141, and 142.

HR 137 and HR138 would require people who are prohibited from purchasing a firearm to be cataloged in a national database and would also prevent transfers of high-capacity ammunition magazines.

Her HR 141 bill would require criminal background checks at all gun shows, while her HR 142 bill would require face-to-face purchases of ammunition, the licensing of dealers, and the reporting of bulk ammunition purchases. Can you imagine what this will do to internet business regarding ammunition? That’s right, it will kill it.

Representatives Bobby Rush (D-IL) and Rush Hold (D-NJ) each put forth their bills, HR 34 and HR 117, which would tighten firearms licensing requirements.

Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) proposed HR 65 which would raise the eligibility age of a person to carry a handgun from 18 to 21. Clearly she, along with others, have no concept of what “shall not be infringed” means.

Representative Jim Moran (D-VA) re-introduced his HR 21 bill, which would require background checks for all gun sales. It would also require gun owners to report when their guns have been stolen. While he claims that polls regarding the National Rifle Association’s membership support his bill, he doesn’t provide any sources for his claims.

In addition, Republican congressmen Steve Stockman (R-TX) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) put forth HR 35 and HR 133 which would end the federal law requires areas around schools to be designated as “gun free zones.” Their bills are based in reality with data that demonstrates that violence both in and around schools increased when the federal law took effect in 1990.

“By disarming qualified citizens and officials in schools we have created a dangerous situation for our children,” Stockman said. “In the 22 years before enactment of ‘gun free school zones’ there were two mass school shootings.

“In the 22 years since enactment of ‘gun free schools’ there have been 10 mass school shootings,” he continued. “Not only has the bill utterly failed to protect our children it appears to have placed them in danger.”

So what of Feinstein’s legislation? According to Senate leaders, they have set aside January 22 as the first day that the Senate will allow new legislation to be proposed. We’ll keep you informed.

It is very, very clear and evident that our government has absolutely no concern for what and how the public feels about gun control laws and they are doing everything possible to destroy not only the 2nd amendment but the entire constitution itself. We have to remind these government officials that it is the public that they work for NOT their personal intrest...

Gun control advocates are also a threat to National security, since National security is assured "State by State" from the people, and NOT the government.

Constitution? I believe we have been living under a "different" constitution since 1871. Everyone still thinks

that we are still bound by the original constitution, but that has all changed.

If they wish to raise the age that a person could carry a weapon from 18-21 then also raise the age that a person can join the military to 21. If you can go to a foreign land and die for your country then you can defend yourself in your own homeland.

Gun control is stupid. The only people who follow any 'gun control' are the ones who are not going to violate the law. If someone is going to kill someone then they do not care about the law. In the shootings that have happened gun laws would not have stopped it. This has NOTHING to do with making people safe. This is about a party agenda that is NOT to be trusted.

this country is going down the toilet economically and all the buttnuggets in WA DC can think of are 10 more gun bills?? OMGOODNESS, cut them off - kick them out of office, no lifetime benefts and cut out all their perks and tell them to get down to business. We need jobs and so many other fixes - gun control doesn't put people back to work.

The ACT of 1871, as illegal as it is/was, does not take away my right to bear arms. The Constitution guarantees that right.
