The first concrete attempt to undo city gun laws has hit the congressional hopper: Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark.) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) have introduced the "Second Amendment Enforcement Act," which is largely the same as a measure that failed to gain support in the previous, Democratic-controlled Congress.

The bill, per a release from Ross' office, "would repeal the D.C. semiautomatic gun ban, restore the right of self defense in the home, authorize D.C. residents to purchase firearms and ammunition, repeal overly-restrictive registration requirements and ensure that firearms may be transported and carried for legitimate purposes."

I fear it doesn't have a chance in the Senate. As scared as the Dems are they are going to try and keep the ball where its at.AlanM wrote:New Congress takes first whack at D.C. gun laws

I've been led to believe that at least 50% of the US Senators have "A" grades from the NRA.
I couldn't easily find verification of this.

I don't know how this new bill differs from the old one. If this is a good bill, at least it won't face a veto from the POTUS.
