There was a recent thread on Senator Craig's amendment to S397, the firearms liability exemption bill. Apparently NRA has recieved questions about the study as to whether it could be a "Trojan Horse" that could allow a new ammo ban to result from the study. This email may help allay some of those fears. I have enough confidence in Craig that I don't believe he would betray gunowners after all the years he has spent fighting unreasonable gun control laws in the Senate. Based on that and what the NRA says about the amendment I intend to urge my Congressman to support the house version of the bill.

Thanks for the post.

hrmn...
let's see if I recall how it goes:

1. The Congress passes a law requiring all car manufacturers to include a seatbelt in every single car they sell. This does not make its use mandatory for the drivers, and "never will"
2. Later on, however...

I am continuing to compile a list of FreeRepublic folks who are interested in RKBA topics. FReepmail me if you want to be added.

Conversely, if you want off my ping-list, let me know.

And my apologies for any redundant pings.

This thread has just added to the FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".

Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it.

We not only have to watch out for the anti-gun politicians but we also have to be on the lookout for well meaning gun groups who aren't happy with the NRA. Is the bill perfect? Absolutely not. It doesn't protect other industries and it has the ammunition language hidden in the text. But if we don't pass it, we might not have a gun industry for long. We not only need manufacturers we need gun ranges and the ability to shoot what we want, when we want to and the freedom to keep it.

We still need pro-gun, pro-freedom legislators. We're close to a majority but we can't quit now. I think we may have a chance if we have a supreme court that knows how to read on a elementrey school level so they can read a simple sentence.

It has been my sad experience that if a portion of a law can be interpreted to be benign or malignant, it's usually going to be interpretted to be malignant by our Government.

This amendment should be thrown out completely. Otherwise what we fear here will come to pass.

SEN Craig is a stalwart friend of gun owners - if this is what it took to get S.397 thorough, so be it.

I don't like it, but I'm confident that SEN Craig's amendment was crafted in the long term interest of RKBA and the domestic firearms industry.
