In
December, we reported that Section 1062 of S. 1438, the "National
Defense Authorization Act for FY 2002," was stripped from the
House-Senate Conference Committee's final report (see FAX Alert Vol. 8,
No. 49).
Unfortunately, we neglected to thank
U.S. Representative Ike Skelton (D-Mo.), the
ranking member of the House Armed Services
Committee, for his efforts to remove this provision.
Representative
Skelton deserves the thanks of the entire pro-gun community for his
efforts on this legislation and his unwavering support of the Second
Amendment.
