I know that there are others...

Where is the list including the National Reciprocity bills ???

How about a list that shows both sides of the issue?
 
I have heard of two proposals that also concern me:
1. Limiting civilian ammunition purchases to 50 rounds at a time (?).
2. Prohibiting those convicted of a misdemeanor from possessing a firearm.

Anyone know of the reality of these proposals, their status, groups / individuals pushing them, etc.? Or, is this just hogwash? (At this point, I'll damn near believe anything.)
