BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR S. 659 CONTINUES TO GROW

On September 25, Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) joined 54 of his colleagues as a co-sponsor of S. 659, the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act." This critically important legislation seeks to protect America`s firearms manufacturers and dealers from malicious lawsuits aimed at bankrupting a law-abiding American industry. In April, the U.S. House of Representatives passed its version of the legislation by an overwhelming bipartisan margin of 285 to 140. Senator Daschle`s decision to support this measure as a cosponsor sends yet another clear message that support for this common sense legislation transcends party lines. We hope that fellow Senators will follow the lead of the U.S. House of Representatives and vote to protect one of America`s oldest industries from these predatory lawsuits.

We hope to have a vote on this legislation in the coming weeks, and, thus, it is imperative that you continue to contact your U.S. Senators in support of S. 659 and urge them to do everything in their power to end these meritless lawsuits and ensure that this essential legislation is approved. Let your Senators know that it is crucial they cosponsor and support S. 659.

In addition, please continue to urge your U.S. Representative and your Senators to oppose current legislation seeking to reauthorize and expand the 1994 Clinton gun ban - H.R. 2038, S. 1431, and S. 1034. For all of the above-mentioned action items, you can find contact information for your elected officials by using the "Write Your Representatives" tool at www.NRAILA.org, or you can call your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121 and your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121.

HOUSE VERSION OF D.C.`s PERSONAL PROTECTION ACT INTRODUCED

On September 25, Representatives Mark Souder (R-Ind.) and Mike Ross (D-Ark.) introduced H.R.3193 -the House version of the District of Columbia Personal Protection Act. Demonstrating broad bipartisan support, H.R. 3193 was cosponsored by 22 Democrats and 40 Republicans. A companion to Senate bill S. 1414, introduced by Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) on July 15, this legislation seeks to restore the constitutionally-guaranteed Second Amendment rights of the residents of the District of Columbia. The need for this legislation is obvious. While effectively banning handgun ownership for over a quarter-century, Washington, D.C., consistently has one of the highest homicide rates in the nation. "D.C.`s politicians have stripped law-abiding residents of their ability to defend themselves and their families," said NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris Cox. "Passage of the ?District of Columbia Personal Protection Act` will remedy this senseless and dangerous injustice."
