NRA Applauds Congressional Leaders for Including Gun Ownership Rights in their "American Values Agenda"
Thursday, June 29, 2006
Fairfax, VA-The National Rifle Association is pleased by Tuesday's announcement by House Congressional leaders to include gun ownership rights as part of their 2006 “American Values Agendaâ€Â.
...
House Republican leaders have put together a package of “pro-freedom†bills slated for votes this summer and fall. Two of those measures are H.R. 5092 and H.R. 5013, bills that are also among NRA’s top legislative priorities.
H.R. 5092 is the "Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) Modernization and Reform Act of 2006." This measure would make critical changes in the way BATFE enforces federal firearms laws. H.R. 5092 was introduced after abuses were exposed in several BATFE oversight hearings by the House Crime Subcommittee held this spring.
H.R. 5013, the “Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Actâ€Â, would prohibit the confiscation of legal firearms from law-abiding citizens during national emergencies, barring practices by officials in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The NRA recently passed a similar measure into state law in Alaska, Idaho, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and Louisiana.

These seem like two common sense bills. Gun dealers should not be unduly penalized for making honest mistakes (HR-5092), and the government certainly should not attempt to take away a persons only defense in an emergency situation!! (HR-5013).
