If so, will this be the first piece of federal anti-gun legislation that has been sunsetted or rescinded? I cannot think of any others, which if we do make it, will be a great victory in itself.
Now, if we could manage to rescind the 1986 McClure-Volker Act, we could start planning on dumping the 1968 GCA...
I wouldn't doubt the Demonrats actually want this to expire themselves to beat Dubya over the head with.
I say beat till your heart's content.
I on the other hand will be debating just how many of what I should purchase for a special person for Christmas-ME!
Yes, it will be the first national defeat the antigunners have ever tasted and they DO NOT like it. Many states have passed carry laws in the last 10 years and the state anti-gunners have squealed in pain. I hope this makes them pop an aneurism.
I think we want to keep that one, as it provides immunity from prosecution for transporting guns across state lines, when the guns are legal between the starting and ending destinations. For example, suppose you are transporting class III weapons from Texas to New Hampshire. The McClure-Volker Act would prevent you from being prosecuted by anti-gun prosecutors in New York and Massachusetts.
