This is commonsense gun legislation we can all agree on. This bill will save lives while not infringing on anybody's second amendment rights. If you ever see:

a red flag should go up. If this needs to be said, it is just not true. Somebody is trying to sell the Brooklyn Bridge. Any appropriate gun control measure will never need to have this said about it. My guess is that such words have never been said by a Marilyn Musgrave or Ron Paul. 'Nuf said.

At the state level, there has been a great deal going on. Minnesota has passed another concealed carry law. Illinois has had a slew of legislative activity in the gun control arena. We would encourage everyone to use the Forums section to post state and local activities.

The amendments proposed ranged from a domestic violence exclusion to informing dealers that a buyer was on a terrorist watch list thereby providing civil liability. House Bill 1195 is already introduced to criminalize transfers to those on the watch list. So, if the gun grabbers can not get a bill passed to criminalize transfers to people on the terrorist watch, they just wanted to make the sellers responsible. Expect similar attempts before the bill is voted on in the full House.
