    OK, as i am reading this so far, HR73 looks like a good thing. HR96 so far looks like a registry. quote:`(C) before the commencement of the special firearms event, or in the case of a vendor who arrives after the commencement of the event, upon the arrival of the vendor, requires each special firearms event vendor to sign--

    `(i) a ledger with identifying information concerning the vendor; and

    `(ii) a notice advising the vendor of the obligations of the vendor under this chapter;

    `(D) notifies each person who attends the special firearms event of the requirements of this chapter, in accordance with such regulations as the Attorney General shall prescribe;

    `(E) not later than 5 days after the last day of the special firearms event, submits to the Attorney General a copy of the ledger and notice described in subparagraph (C)(i); and

    `(F) maintains a copy of the records described in subparagraphs (B) and (C) at the permanent place of business of the operator for such period of time and in such form as the Attorney General shall require by regulation.


    so far it seems they wanna know who is going to sell anything at a gun show. "if we know who's sellin em, we know who's gottem." kinda thing.

    reading on, HR96 also seems to make it illegal for private sales or trades even outside the show in the parking lot.

    Pelosi's Congress is the "Do-Nothing" Congress. If accomplish anything meaningful or relevant in the first 5 months, can anything come out of this Congress. I'm starting to think "Air Pelosi" is a just reward for a quality lack of accomplishments.

    And this is bad how? ANYTIME Congress does ANYTHING for the "good of the people", we get royally screwed! I kinda like Congress split down party lines. That way, neither side's liberal nuts can get their agenda passed.

    Wow Rudy and NYC and Cook COunty would really like that law.
    LEO: "Are there any weapons in the house?"
    Person: "Yes"
    LEO: "Give them to me"
    Person: "No."
    LEO can arrest the person for lying and go to jail like Marta and Scooter.

    In places like Chicago, NYC, and Warshington, all weapons are considered a threat.


    Heck, I know of a woman who called the police from work and said she was battered because another employee took a swab the size of a toilet brush from her hand and threw it on the ground.

    Just what is a weapon?
    Baseball bat?
    Fat Albert bat?

    I can see how HR203 might be a good thing by removing temptation from an already tense situation, however it is one that can and more often than not, be abused quite easily. even if someone gives a false report, the guns would be confiscated and not returned to the rightful owner.
