Senate Coverage(2-2 to 2-6-04)

It's kinda a work in progress, I think we will have to get a Mod to change the title when there is an agreed format.

[OXENinFLA]

SEC. 5. LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS SAFETY ACT.

I have big problems w/ this amendment.

WHY SHOULD EX-LEO'S BE GIVEN PREFFRECIAL TREATMENT WHNE IT COME TO CARRYING GUNS?

WE CAN SOLVE THIS RESLOVE THIS BY LETTING EVERYONE IN THE STATE CARRY, NOT JUST EX-LEO'S.

[Dead Corpse]

Agreed. It IS however a step in the right direction.

"WHY SHOULD EX-LEO'S BE GIVEN PREFFRECIAL TREATMENT WHNE IT COME TO CARRYING GUNS?"

Wouldn't that be unconstitutional, it would mean that they are not equal to others.

[Dead Corpse]

Larry Craig back up now...

[OXENinFLA]

Wouldn't that be unconstitutional, it would mean that they are not equal to others.

FEDNET newsfeed

[OXENinFLA]

C-span is working fine for me(today).

[TC Rider]

I'm on fednet also, the CSPAN feed was very choppy.

Feinstein is preparing to offer her ammendment.

[OXENinFLA]

Looks like BOXER is going to be putting forth an amendment.

[Dead Corpse]

Ick... not sure I can watch this....

[TC Rider]

Hmmmm, Boxer offering her ammendment. She requested it not be read into the record.

Requires that every handgun sold in US come with child safety device. (Don't we already have this?)

[OXENinFLA]

Oh CRAP, it's a FOR THE CHLIDREN AMENDMENT

[Dead Corpse]

Boxer's Child safety locks REQUIRED on all guns amendment.

[Dead Corpse]

What a B#tch. She should amend this to require all on duty LEO's to have a lock on theirs as well. See how much support she gets then...

[Dan from Michigan]

Boxer - Amd 2620?

Require "Child Safety Device"

Standards for the devices and their 'performance'.

I don't like it. I'll take it for a ban on lawsuits if needed(as long as it isn't required to USE), but I do not like it one bit.

[TC Rider]

She wants Consumer Product Safety commission to approve all gun locks. That's a deal breaker.

How many children does she think this will save? There is only about 11 kids under 5, accidentally killed every year.

[OXENinFLA]

This should be called the "HOLD ON MR. CRIMINAL, I NEED TO TAKE THE LOCK OFF MY GUN" Amenmendment.
