Mooney said the bill would remove statutory burdens on law-abiding gun owners and improve the legal firearm purchase process for active-duty military and law-abiding citizens.
“As a staunch supporter and defender of the Second Amendment, I'm committed to eliminating the archaic red tape burdening gun owners who legally purchase firearms across the nation,” Scalise said. “For decades now, our gun laws have made it harder and more costly to legally purchase guns in other states and then safely bring them home. I'm proud to introduce this legislation with my friend and colleague Rep. Alex Mooney in order to remove these burdensome and unnecessary restrictions so we can bring firearm laws into the 21st Century.” |

Why just ACTIVE DUTY military? There are hundreds of thousands of veterans who have served their country proudly and honorably who should be included as well! |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
