The sponsor is Jim Gibbons (R-NV), the ONE current congressman I have been proud to hold up as an example of a truly honorable member of congress!
The cosponsors are bipartisan, even many lib's are smart enough to recognize the injustice of the current situation!
This thread HAS been very educational, doing an excellent job of illustrating what sort of issues, real and imagined, we will have to overcome in congress to pass this bill.
This is an EXCELLENT bill, our veterans are dying off rapidly, it would be very good to relieve those still alive, and their heirs, as well as the heirs of those who have already died, of the worries ATFE's lousy records are causing.
The full back round on this is very complex, for those who want to make the effort to learn more FACTS I suggest you read the "references" and "resources" sections at http://www.nfaoa.org
The "resources" are PDF files of congressional documents which PROVE the NFRTR is a mess.
O.K. I'll take your word for it. The legislation is too complicated for me to understand.
