New Orleans Saints - Black and Gold - Gun related Bills by the 112th Congress (Jan 2011

Truly some of the most asinine Bills I have ever seen... We actually pay people to come up with this crap?

I am only citing the most outrageous. There are plenty more.

H.R. 126

(Gingrey, Bachmann, Bartlett, Bishop, Blackburn, Burton, Carter, Conaway, Franks, Gohmert, Sam Johnson, Kline, Marchant, Paul, Roe, Rogers, Ross, Westmoreland, Young):
In determining that a gun was, for example, a full automatic, this bill would require the ATF to make a videotape of its testing and make it available to interested parties.

H.R. 227

(Jackson Lee):
This bill would:

amend 18 U.S.C. 922(x) -- making it difficult to legally teach your kids the safe and effective use of firearms -- by extending the subsection's labyrinthine provisions concerning handguns to semiautos (and semiauto clips) and to persons less than 21 (rather than 18), with certain exceptions;
increase the penalties for violating 18 U.S.C. 922(x) to five years generally, but ten years in some circumstances;
provide that it is "child abandonment" to allow your kid to be unaccompanied at a gun show (even to go to the bathroom);
provide for grants for "gun safety programs."

H.R. 367

(Richardson):
This bill would make it a ten-year felony to "knowingly" carry a firearm within 250 feet of a building where you "know" a member of Congress is. Thus, the bill would create an incomprehensible series of moving "no-gun" zones. And while, for example, you would be exempted for a gun in your house, if you lived next door to a congressman, you could not carry your gun to your car parked on the street.

H.R. 1781

(McCarthy and 35 others):
This bill would:

require colleges to set up a procedure for investigating students who are acting strange and “reporting” them [sec. 103];
ban all private person-to-person sales of firearms, requiring that all sales go through federal firearms licensees or the police, who would conduct a background check [Title II].

H.R. 2554
(Maloney & 15 other original cosponsors):
This bill would impose prison sentences of up to 20 years (25 years for the manager of a medium-sized gun shop) on anyone who sells a gun with reasonable cause to believe" that the purchaser is a prohibited person, might use the gun unlawfully, or is a straw purchaser. The purchaser could be nothing more than a veteran who has been stripped of his rights without his knowledge, and everyone working for the gun shop could be sent away to prison for 10 years for “conspiracy.” Obviously, the intent is, in the hands of an anti-gun administration, to make it prohibitively dangerous to operate a gun shop.
