The links are dead but based on what you wrote, this is not good news. Looks more to me like RINO's trying to cover their butts. According to this language the door is left open for government to confiscate everything else...lawfully owned full auto weapons, airplanes, helicopters, etc. etc.

Everyone must tell their representative and senator to get the demilitarization provision out of the bill. It will do nothing to address the supposed concern of this bill...I mean, if the US is stupid enough to sell an ICBM to China, does anyone think that China would give it back based on this bill? I don't think so.

Dangerous precedent, this bill, which is government trying to confiscate lawfully owned property once owned by it but sold. What's next...a bill to take back valuable land sold or deeded to private owners by the federal government? This is an attack on the foundation of America...ownership of private property.

Sorry about that Jesse, I think the link went dead just after I made the post. What I posted was copy/paste so it's authentic.

To cidrasm: You had a misread.

SEC. 106. CHEMICAL DEMILITARIZATION PROGRAM

SEC. 1062 AUTHORITY TO ENSURE DEMILIZARITATION OF SIGNIFICANT MILITARY EQUIPMENT PREVIOUSLY OWNED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

I think HR3338 Section 8020 is a tactic sometimes used in the Congress. It goes like this: If one "Group" sponsors a bill and a second "Group" opposes the bill and cannot get it thrown out, then the second "Group", if they control the purse strings, will not fund the bill. That makes the bill moot.
