Friday, 09 September 2005 |
Details- Sponsor - Craig
- Proposed - July 29, 2005
- Congressional Record Link - SA1645
- Amends - S.397
- Amendments - None.
- Vote - 2005-216 - July 29, 2005, 87-11 Passed.
- Results - No change in law.
SynopsisSA1645 only does the following:
- The first part simply restates current law: 18 USC 922(a)7 and 8.
- The second part of the amendment increases federal penalties for using this ammunition in the commission of a crime.
- The third and last part of the amendment requires the AG to conduct a study and issue a report but does not create any new powers that the AG does not already have.
At this point in time, the only power the AG currently has is to declare ammunition as not ‘armor piercing’ because of sporting purposes or industrial purposes as specified in 18 USC 921(a)17.
AnalysisThe worst thing this amendment will do is spend tax payer money. Wording will be selectively chosen by Kennedy to show that Congress should pass one of his 'armor piercing bullet' bans. And that is all.
