Most Sweeping Gun Ban Ever Hits Congress:
Clinton Ban "Re-enactment" Targets Millions More Guns!!! As we predicted, the anti-gunners have begun the push to further expand the Clinton gun ban of 1994. Not content with merely re-authorizing the ban, Reps. John Conyers (D-Mich.) and Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) have drafted legislation that bans millions more guns! It's a giant step closer to the goal stated by Clinton ban sponsor Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who said on CBS's 60 Minutes: "If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them, Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in, I would have done it."

I am a life member of the NRA but my primary reaction to this thread is that the NRA needs to stop writing misleading press releases and start reporting the facts. The basic facts on the issues of gun laws are on our side.
As to this "bill" any moron [a category that definitely includes McCarthy] or a dedicated fascist or probable marxist [Feinstein and Conyers respectively] can draft a bill and submit it for consideration. That doesn't mean that it stands a snowball's chance.
This press release doesn't even state whether the bill has actually been submitted / referred to the appropriate committee.
Remain vigilant, but tell the NRA's ILA to fight the real battles and always make good use of the facts.
