This passed. I need to read the details to find out if it IS safe storage or just sales. Does is mearly suck, or is it worth it.

If it's safestorage - it's a bill killer.

I think I see the three-tiered plan now:

A- Make all guns illegal. (if no, proceed to B)
B- Make all guns inaccessible and unusable. (proceed to C)
C- If all else fails, lie like hell and claim Bush kills 3 kids per hour until November.

Zell voted No

[Monty22]

I'm so sick of the 2nd being chipped away.. Just either ban guns or stop this madness already.

[Cboldt]

"Aye" from Snowe as well. Methinks this amendment is the "Gunlock Industry Protection Amendment," and only requires sales of handguns to be accompanied by the sale of a compatible triggerlock.

[Dan from Michigan]

Snowe - Aye
Murkowski - Aye
Smith - Aye
Roberts - Aye
Stevens - Aye

Either they are trying to poison pill the whole thing to death, or we've been sold out big.

[OXENinFLA]

Did FRIST just vote AYE?

[agitator]

gee, I wonder what part of the Constitution authorizes the Federal govt to regulate storage of tools within the confines of private property within one of the Several States....

"Aye" from Snowe as well. Methinks this amendment is the "Gunlock Industry Protection Amendment," and only requires sales of handguns to be accompanied by the sale of a compatible triggerlock.

I just bought a brand new Para P14-40 and it came with a lock. I don't use it now and never will. I believe all handguns come with the locks now anyway..But we DON'T need a law saying so!!!!!

[Dan from Michigan]

Collins - aye
ALLEN - NO

"Either they are trying to poison pill the whole thing to death, or we've been sold out big."

That is what I am wondering too.

[RockChucker]

Too many 'eyes'!

[Dan from Michigan]

McConnell - AYE

[Monty22]

If this stuff passes, I'll only vote 3rd party for life. I'm absolutely miserable here at the thought of it.

[Dan from Michigan]

Specter - NO

[IGOTMINE]

I suspect that this bill calls for guns to have integral trigger locks...very failure prone.

I want these bastards to waive Soverign Domain. If a homeowner is killed because he can't disengage the safety, his survivors should be able to sue the living dog snot out of the government.

[Dead Corpse]

Shelby - No
