Correction on "The Truth about ABC's Attack on the NRA"

by Blain Harrison

 

As a law abiding gun owner, it is important that we keep the facts straight and not misinform citizens like we hear so much from the "other side."

Therefore I submit the following correction to a story I previously submitted.

The amendments I quoted were on senate bills, obviously Mr. Stupak is congressman. Here is the corrected list of amendments Mr. Stupak voted on in agreement with Handgun Control Inc.'s position. 

The data is verifiable on HCI's website. I apologize for the confusion and hope this clears matters up.

ABC news ran a biased story against the NRA Monday night and singled out congressman Stupak as being attacked by the NRA for going against them only one time.

Here is the truth. Yes, it was one bill, but Stupak voted on 4 Amendments to the bill the way Handgun Control wanted him to vote.

Stupak voted on the following amendments to the bill (yeah or nay). Following the list is HCI's explanation of the amendment and their position (which is how Stupak voted):

Dingell/NRA-backed Gun Show Background Check Amendment (106th Congress, 6/18/99): H.R. 2122, "Mandatory Gun Show Background Check Act." Representative John Dingell (D-MI), a former NRA board member, agreed to sponsor the NRA-backed amendment that specified 24 consecutive hours for instant background checks at purchases made at gun shows. A NO vote supported HCI's position. The amendment passed 218-211. 

McCarthy/Blagojevich/Roukema Gun Show Background Check Amendment (106th Congress, 6/18/99): H.R. 2122, "Mandatory Gun Show Background Check Act." Immediately following the passage of the Dingell amendment, this amendment was offered by Representatives Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), Rod Blagojevich (D-IL) and Marge Roukema (R-NJ). It required that all gun show purchasers undergo background checks in compliance with current federal law. This amendment closely mirrors the Senate-passed Lautenberg/Kerrey amendment. A YES vote supported HCI's position. The amendment failed 193-235. 

Goode Amendment to Repeal Law Prohibiting Washington, D.C. residents from owning firearms (106th Congress, 6/18/99): H.R.2122, "Mandatory Gun Show Background Check Act" In 1976, the Washington, D.C. City Council passed an ordinance prohibiting residents from owning firearms. Representative Virgil Goode (D-VA), in introduced this amendment that would have repealed that ban, a clear interference with the District's home rule abilities. A NO vote supported HCI's position. The amendment failed 175-250. 

Final Passage of H.R.2122, "Mandatory Gun Show Background Check Act" (106th Congress, 6/18/99): Final passage of H.R.2122, now including the weakened gun show background check amendment and the reinstatement of the pawn shop redemption exemption. A NO vote supported HCI's position. Final passage failed 147-280.
