As reported in a previous FAX Alert (Vol. 7, No. 12), there has been some concern among members of the pro-gun community over S. 2099, a bill introduced by anti-gun U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-R.I.). The bill seeks to amend the National Firearms Act (NFA) to treat handguns like fully automatic firearms, requiring them to be registered, and adding a $50.00 tax to any handgun transfer. While NRA opposes this legislation, there is no real threat of it passing at this time. Please continue to focus your energy on pending legislation in the U.S. House, and especially, in the U.S. Senate, that poses immediate threats to our freedoms. And remember, while Congress is on recess, continue to attend your lawmakers’ town hall meeting to voice your opposition to these "gun control" schemes.
