Bill just passed the House with 6 democrats defecting.
Huzzah.
I know it's just one step, but it moves things in the right direction. Time to get on top of Donnelly.

Bad news on reciprocity bill getting jammed with the Fix-NICS bill
That was my understanding, but I am not absolutely certain.Since work and life has being going SWIMMINGLY (as I say that wearing CONCRETE SHOES) - and keeping me so busy
did the FIX-NICS junk bill get ammended to the house HR 38? I'm too far under to be tracking like I usually do. I barely got a single letter off w/ great generalizations.
Thanks.

That is what it says!
It also classifies a magazine as a firearm, I find that strange and wonder where it could be twisted.
Thirdly it tells theAttorney general to consider bump stocks
I think it could be twisted in places like Jersey that have magazine limits.
Worse... If this sets precedent that magazines are firearms, we could be soon be seeing background checks for magazine purchases.
I read it. I didn't see anything to make me run screaming into the woods.

I dig your concerns BF, but if you copy/paste it into the bottom (as numbered sub-sub paragraphs) of subparagraph (a) of Section 926D the magazines reference is subordinate to " ...[FONT=&]may [/FONT] [FONT=&]possess or carry a concealed handgun ". [/FONT]This is designed to prevent a magazine or ammo ban as an end-around on this law. Or at least that's how I read it.
Based on past behavior I'd say that's the definition of a sure-thing. In these utopias they've long since solved all the first-world problems like drug gangs and murderous thugs roaming freely.I would anticipate every jurisdiction that is butt hurt by reciprocity if it becomes law to go after it with a fine tooth comb to find something inventive they can do to effectively neuter it to make it impossible to legally carry a concealed handgun that's usable. If there's a hole that some highly imaginative jurisdiction manages to exploit, watch the dogpile on it begin, and Congress will take forever to fix it because revisiting prior legislation to amend it is loathsome.

I have no problem with them forcing states to load established disqualifying data into NICs for those that don't deserve the privilege of carrying. They've also added a process where folks can contest NICs data and have redress for errors in the system..
