Federal Legislation That Will Affect Your Gun Rights: Part 1
Submitted by cbaus on Thu, 05/04/2006 - 23:10.By Chris Chumita
It is a good time to be a gun owner. We are successfully taking back our Second Amendment rights that we lost due to years of complacency. In order to maintain our momentum, you need to be aware of what is going on at the local, state, and federal levels. The Buckeye Firearms Association’s web site will help keep you current on the local and current issues. Web sites such as Thomas Library of Congress, the NRA-ILA, and Gun Law News are excellent sources to keep track of all the federal legislation.
In this first part of a two part series, you will be provided with a brief synopsis of just some of the pro-gun FEDERAL legislation that is being considered by the House. Part two will cover some of the pending anti-gun FEDERAL legislation.

The Threat Of The “Invisible” Gun
Submitted by cbaus on Thu, 05/04/2006 - 23:05.By Chris Chumita
The anti-gun media is at it again. It seems that they are starting another scare campaign about “invisible” or “almost invisible” guns that are “hard to detect” by airport security scanners. It reminds me of all of the misinformation that the media published a few years ago about “plastic Glocks” being able to pass through airport security without setting off metal detectors. Do I even have to mention all of the “porcelain Glock” hype that started after they were mentioned in the movie, “Die Hard 2?”
It was recently reported by WBNC that the police recovered a Professional Ordnance Carbon-15 Type-97 pistol in Newark, New Jersey. The short news story is a perfect example of the media’s anti-gun bias.
