Today we want to make you aware of H.R.5005, the Firearms Correction and Improvements Act.

In the short term, the bill allows the importation of ANY firearm parts (including barrels, frames and recievers) so long as they will be used for repair or replacement. This includes firearm parts for firearms that are no longer importable. The BATFE would no longer be able to decide unilaterally that would not allow importation of certain parts.

Most of the remainder of the bill makes permanent situations that had been enacted in appropriations bills in previous years. Those situations include:

• a ban on taxes or 'user fees' for the NICS system.
• a ban on the creation of a federal, computerized index of dealer's 4473's.
• limits on trace records disclosures

Beyond all that, there are some provisions for manufacturers and government contractors and the repeal of the Youth Handgun Safety Act.

Today, March 28, the House Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing on HR5005 following the BATFE hearing.

The NRA is a supporter of this bill.
