Amnesty Bill for Firearms Collectors H.R. 442

Gary Marbut of Montana Sport Shooting Association is looking for help to get a hearing for a bill that NRA is pushing that is sponsored by Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-MT).
Denny has sponsored H.R. 442 to allow an amnesty period for registration of prohibited firearms that U.S. veterans have brought home from overseas. Although there are over 100 cosponsors to this bill, it has not yet been granted a committee hearing.
I'm sorry, guys. I support a lot of stuff you do. But I gotta say, I'm unequivocally opposed to registering weapons.

And yeah, I know what that means I'm advocating instead. That, along with NRA facilitating registration, is nothing new.

Looks like we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

  1. How's that hearing on the firearm freedom act going Gary?

  2. Reprehensible. Either one has the right to keep and bear arms, or one doesn't. License, register? That acknowledges a continuum with "You have all the rights we say you have" at the top.

  3. My first reaction was just like yours, David. I know Gary very well, and we've had quite a few disagreements over the years... but this is the first time I can remember him actually WORKING toward getting guns "registered." I'm afraid all the nose to nose time with legislators has done something unfortunate to him. Too bad.

  4. NRA = Vichy = Judenrat = Collaborator

    Any questions?
