NRA reports BATFE Reform Bill Introduced In U.S. Senate. Highlights:

This bipartisan reform legislation is the culmination of efforts to address BATFE abuses and problems that were highlighted in several congressional oversight hearings in 2006. (To read more about these hearings, please click here.) S. 941 represents NRA-ILA’s latest efforts to pass legislation that will make it easier for lawful gun owners and dealers to comply with federal law and regulations, while ensuring that those who break the law are punished accordingly. This bipartisan bill also serves as a vital step toward modernizing and improving BATFE’s overall operations. The bill would roll back unnecessary restrictions, correct errors, and codify longstanding congressional policies in the firearms arena, and is a vital step needed to modernize and improve BATFE operations.

Also interesting:

I just noticed that Patrick Leahy, a Democrat from Vermont, was a sponsor of the bill. He’s not exactly Mr. NRA, with a D rating last time he ran for Senate. What’s up with that?

    The sponsorship by Leahy makes me smell a rat. I wonder if there’s a nice amendment that screws our rights a little sitting in the wings waiting to toss on at the last moment.

    These anti-gunners know how to play the incrementalist game.

  2. Matt Groom Says:

    Anything that is described as “Bipartisan” makes me extremely nervous. Bipartisan is derived from the latin expression meaning “To screw over everybody”… or something like that. Right?

  3. Vote For David Says:

    No, no, Bipartisan means: “all of us getting our way, plus one or two of them on the other side bought off to agree with us”

    See: the recent bailout vote in the Senate.

  4. Tom Says:

    sink it and go for disbanding the bastards. We have enough fed “law” enforcement already.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
