Both the Senate and the House are on recess until next week. The NRA expects S.397 to be addressed this month. If you have the opportunity, communicate with your Senators and Representatives while they are home this week.

(CNSNews.com) - Dozens of U.S. House members who sponsored the nationwide instant background check system for gun buyers in 1993 or backed the expansion of that system in 2002, have shown no support for a similar database intended to identify illegal aliens trying to find work in the U.S.
At least one member who supported the gun control measure is challenging the proposal to crack down on illegal immigrants.
"A database this large is likely to contain many errors," said Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) during a May 12 hearing on the Illegal Immigration Enforcement and Social Security Protection Act (H.R. 98). "Any one of [the errors] could render someone unemployable and possibly much worse until they can get their file straightened out."
But in 2002, Jackson Lee argued for the "Our Lady of Peace Act," (H.R. 4757), an expansion of the National Instant Check System (NICS) for handgun purchases.
So, the bottom lines is that the rights of illegal aliens to whom some of the Constitution does not apply are more important than the rights of a US citizen guaranteed by the US Constitution.

This is outside of our normal scope, except for in the Forums, but you should be aware that the California Department of Justice has reclassified the Walther P-22 as an assault weapon. The design of the interchangeable barrel system is the issue. If you own one of these, you should have received a letter. More information is available at CalGunLaws.Write Comment (0 Comments) |
