The Jersey City Council has successfully passed one of the gun restrictions they have been trying to ram through this month. They have passed a 1 a month purchase restriction on handgun purchases. Ordinance # 06-082 violates NJ state preemption that doesn't allow any local governments to pass their own gun laws. One a month purchase has become a new rallying cry of the gun grabbers as the popularity of their holy war on "assault weapons" has waned to nothing.
Kim du Toit is reporting on the UN Small Arms Conference planned for July 4 in New York City. Gun grabbers and UN apologists have been saying the UN is trying to protect the innocent in African nations ravaged by an endless cycle of war. Kim knows otherwise. I don't know if there are any protests planned for Manhattan on that day but they picked a damn inconvenient one for most red-blooded Americans.
[UPDATE] Cam Edwards is reporting that the gun ban conference is being held behind closed doors.
HR 5092 will prevent the BATFE from revoking FFL's licenses without showing willful infringement.
HR 5005 contains 7 pro gun initiatives

HR 1384 removes some restrictions on interstate commerce in firearms. For examples, it would allow you to purchase handguns in states other than your own.
For more information on these bills, please see the NSSF. Please, please, please contact your congressman and tell him you support these issues. You can do so easily with the GOA's Legislative Action Center. The GOA doesn't seem to have any boilerplate letters up for these bills but you can simply find your congressman and send him or her a letter urging their support for these measures.
