An Incremental Amendment

This needs support. Contact your Reps. and get them to support it.

AMENDMENT TO H.R. 3093, AS REPORTED OFFERED BY MR. GINGREY OF GEORGIA

At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following:

TITLE VII—ADDITIONAL GENERAL PROVISIONS SEC. 701. None of the funds
appropriated by this Act may be used by the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to pay the compensation of employees of
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to test and examine
firearms without written and published testing standards.

Yeah, in lieu of defunding and jailing them, I guess this is an incremental step in the right direction. But while we're amending this, here's one other clause that needs to be struck:

Provided further, That none of the funds appropriated herein shall be available to investigate or act upon applications for relief from Federal firearms disabilities under 18 U.S.C. 925(c)

Why the hell not? Whose bright idea was this in the first place, who wants to retain it, and what is their reason for doing so, aside from their just being jerks?
