Congress working on DCs gun laws

Post by AlanM »

New Congress takes first whack at D.C. gun laws
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.

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.
