Contact your congressman to support out of state gun purchases

[BehindBlueI's]

So, for several years, both the House and the Senate have had legislation which would expand 18 U.S.C. 922(b)(3), which currently allows interstate purchase of long guns from another state. The new legislation would expand that provision to apply to both handguns and long guns purchased from a dealer in another state.
This year, that legislation is being introduced by Congressman Frank Guinta of New Hampshire.
Guinta plans to introduce the bill after the congressional spring break, and, at the request of Gun Owners of America, he has agreed to hold off from introducing the bill right away in order to give members an opportunity to sign on as original cosponsors.

You can contact you own congressman here:

Thanks for beating the drum, Blue.

Yeah, this is not a thunderclap, but 3 yards and a cloud of dust is how we win.

Done.

Already got a response, albeit probably a generic one, but at least it got through.

Thanks for your email. I really appreciate your feedback. I will work to get you a more detailed response soon.

No reason to contact my congresscritter. Visclosky is worthless and doesn't care a lick what anyone thinks except for the Dem Party.

Done and thanks for the easy link BBI. 8th District voter waiting to see Bucshon's answer, and more importantly his actions on the matter.

Can someone translate all that bull**** into plain English please?

What part? If your talking about the OP, right now per fed law you can buy/transfer a long gun from a FFL in any state, but can only buy/transfer a handgun in your home state. A representative is going to submit a bill to change that so you can buy/transfer a handgun in any state at a FFL. Contact your rep to support the bill.

I understand the benefit of this, but...

When I'm told that all the handguns in Chicago come from Indiana and the lax gun laws of Indiana are to blame for the violence, I tell them it is a federal crime for an Illinois resident to purchase a handgun from Indiana without a background check. I usually don't get a response. They'll go to "six shots is enough" or something else.

Is it possible that a lack of freedom helps to defend our freedom?

Flame suit on.
