Received this from my congressmen on Saturday. What do you think
As a strong supporter of gun rights, I want to tell you about two important pieces of legislation I have cosponsored that protect Americans' Second Amendment rights.
Michigan law allows citizens to carry a concealed firearm with a proper permit. However, because some states do not honor other states' concealed-carry permits, Michigan residents who travel out of state cannot carry protection. To address this problem, I joined 32 of my colleagues in the House of Representatives in introducing H.R. 5782, the Secure Access to Firearms Enhancement (SAFE) Act. This bill would allow citizens who hold a concealed-carry permit in their home state to carry in other states.
By enacting the SAFE Act, citizens would be able to travel across the country without giving up their right to personal protection.
As a matter of public safety, I believe policymakers should prevent the sale of firearms to criminals. In doing so, however, lawmakers must also ensure that the federal government is not burdening law-abiding citizens who are freely exercising their right to purchase firearms. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) pursues violent criminals and those who illegally arm them.
To make their mission more effective, however, modest reforms are needed for the BATFE. That is why I support H.R. 4900, the BATFE Reform and Firearms Modernization Act. The bill would overhaul the current system of administrative penalties for licensed firearm dealers and impose more equitable fines or license suspensions for less serious violations. Under current law, the BATFE is given sole jurisdiction over firearms dealers and can issue only a warning or a license revocation. The BA TFE Reform Act would prevent the agency from punishing dealers for insignificant technical paperwork violations. It would also ensure that dealers are properly notified of violations and give them the chance to appeal penalties before a judge rather than to an employee of BA TFE itself.
Please be assured I am committed to protecting and preserving Americans' right to bear arms. I will continue to work in the House to enact these two important pieces of legislation.
Sincerely,
Dave Camp
