Congress and new gun laws

[Bruce Day]

Any member of congress can at any time congress is in session introduce a bill about anything that member wants, or is forced to introduce by his/her constituents. Some of these anti gun bills have in the past not even had a co-signer and most are dead on arrival and never acted upon in committee, or the committee even holding hearings on them. While there is a need to remain vigilant, one should not take the mere introduction of a bill as an indicator of passage. Hundreds of bills for every kind of special interest are introduced every year and only the rare ones with substantial backing pass.

This is nothing new, these anti-gun bills are introduced every year and they die. The NRA does a good job of killing them off.
