HR2122 is being voted on as I type this post. It has a much improved definition of "Gun Show", it allows for Nationwide CCW for off-duty and retired LEOs (setting strong precedent for National CCW reciprocity), and mandates a 24 hour limit on Background Checks at Gun Shows.
Get ready to contact congressmen assigned to the committee that will find a composite Bill between the SEnate version and House versions that shouldbe sent to the president.
Watch out for the committee liberals to remove teh retired LEO clause from the Cunningham Ammendment, lengthen the 24 hour background limit, use the stricter (bad) definition of "gun show" and try to add the Fienstien language to the hi-cap amendment which will outlaw the transfer of pre-ban mags.....
IF we keep those out, Clinton will likely veto the whole Bill, but even if he signs it, nothing really bad occurs, in fact, the CCW and Background check rules become Better!!
*****************EDIT
Screw it.. HR2122 was just defeated... Watch out for Conference committee members to add craziness (as noted above) to the Senate version for the uified Juvenile Justice Bill..but don't hope for any of the GOOD stuff to be added ...at this time anyway...
DAMN!
