Looks like poison pills to me. Either provision could be used by president Hillary to further erode and bind God-Given rights. How about an attachment that abolishes the DEA, the ATFU, and repeals the 1968 and 34 gun acts? I trust neither the Repubs or the dems, (and I’m damn sceptical of the NRA), on this.

No fat lady. Although I support the basic premise here, our pro-RKBA president and congress so far have failed completely to restore even a shred of an individuals' gun rights. What's up with that? The best we can get is "no sue for gun makers"? I see the trickle down effect but still. All those A's and B's the NRA gave out, killing the bad amendment should not be a problem. Unless the scale is curved. OK, the NRA was already taking credit for the “Protection of Lawful Commerce In Arms Act”, so I had just assumed that it was passed. No fat lady.

They may still have to reconcile it between the House and Senate version though. The bill was passed by the Senate right before the August break.

It increases penalties, it calls for a study and it restates existing law. Given that the Attorney General does not currently have the power to decleare ammunitition as 'armor piercing' the study has no real effect. I would prefer a cleaner bill, but this bill does not impact our rights. As a matter of fact, a well written study could point out the confusion that Kennedy tries to create by mixing 'armor piercing ammo' with 'body armor'. SA1645 does 3 things, as you said.

Has Bush signed it? He may have and I missed it. Thomas says it's till in the House as does the NRA. No, it’s at the federal level. Has Bush signed it? He may have and I missed it.

I was scratching my head because I thought Preesident Bush signed that already. Reading the link, I think you mean this is a state level law.
