So I think this is going to POTUS with Coburn provision intact?

[Currentriverrat]

yes

[Old Teufel Hunden]

whoops. Next up, an amendment on the next bill to repeal the machine gun ban provision of the 86 firearms law. Then an amendment making the conceal carry reciprocal. Yeah, I like this amendment thing Coburn has going.

60 seconds too slow...

LOL.... whats up with the gun provision?
Is the the republicans finally playing the liberal’s game?
What was the purpose of including this other than asking for a veto?

Since the bill was to control interest rates, think there will ever be a bill to control the amount of interest you pay on a MORTGAGE? paying 2-3 times the amount of the sales price on a house has always seemed outrageous to me. No one advertises a 100k house for 225k after 30 years. Just a thought.

How about a rider on the next bill that invalidates anything Obama signs, at the discretion of the states?

Article date should be 20 MAY 09...

[Oldpuppymax]

Hussein won’t veto this one. A goodly number of leftist politicians are still scared to death of gun owners. Even Hussein will not attempt to overturn the 2nd amendment head on.

[AAABEST]

WOOT!

So does that mean I can use either a credit card or a gun when visiting the national parks? How convenient! :)

[Joe Brower]

God bless Tom Coburn.

From “Thomas” LOC site: — excerpt from national park rider to Credit Card bill:

“......The Secretary of the Interior shall not promulgate
or enforce any regulation that prohibits an individual from possessing a firearm including
an assembled or functional firearm in any unit of the National Park System or the National
Wildlife Refuge System if—
(1) the individual is not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing the firearm; and
(2) the possession of the firearm is in compliance with the law of the State in which
the unit of the National Park System or the National Wildlife Refuge System is
located.”

Maybe its a good thing Bush didn’t get line item veto for Obama to inherit:-)

[wolfcreek]

700 million credit cards? No wonder we’re screwed.

(we have 3)

[Larry Lucido]

Maybe it IS a good thing the line item veto didn’t hold up.

A minor 2nd Amendment victory compared to what the rest of the legislation will cost.

Banks, which oppose the legislation, will need to make up the cost somewhere, and cardholders who pay off their balance in full each month could see new annual fees and lucrative rewards programs canceled. Credit could become harder to come by too

More rewards to losers, more punishment to responsibile folks. Typical.

Well, I ignored the law anyway. When traveling, I am armed, as I am all the time. So, what am I suppose to do as I come to Yellowstone, dig a hole and bury the gun and come back and get it after leaving the park? Don't think so. I still had it in the vehicle. All you do is simply obey all traffic laws, do nothing to get yourself stopped, so that they want to do the ole vehicle search. Most stupids are usually breaking some type of traffic law that gets them stopped, then the cops ask to search, etc., or a dog sniffs, and finds it. Simply, obey the law when you are traveling in those states that do not allow you to have a loaded weapon, then you will be fine. The only thing you have to worry about, is if you blow some thug away who is trying to rob, kill you, or rape your wife. But, in that case, to hell with them, I am going to shoot his ass and worry about the other later. Dead, I couldn't worry about it later.

Included in the bill is an unrelated measure by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., that would allow people to bring loaded guns into national parks and wildlife refuges. The House approved that provision separately on Wednesday by a 279-147 vote.

[kempster]

does this mean one can charge a handgun and then not pay for it?

[Joined2Justify]

National Parks? Are more than a few posters missing the obvious? Had a close up look at any “National Park” signs lately?

The “NPs” are dwindling rapidly. Seems they’re so important they get to be the property of some exhaulted international organization ... hmm
