Repeal the Hughs Amendment

Already signed.
In the lower 300's if memory serves. But I'm all for it.
This "law" was rammed through congress under speaker rangle (sp?) and was passed under voice vote, in which the opposing voices were ignored and after requests for written votes were also ignored in order to ban them.

It needed to be highlighted. It was mentioned in the NFA thread but it should have been put in its own thread for more traffic. I intended to do it but must have gotten sidetracked. This thread will.draw more attention. Thanks!

Pretty sad. Once again, with all the Pro 2A people out there this should have been a slam dunk. I know it was just a petition to get them to look at it but I look it as an indication of the fragmented support we have in the pro gun community.
Over a million people signed the petition to view trumps taxes.
Priorities!?!?!?!?!?!?

A new petition has been submitted. This time, there are more people aware of it, so I think it has a chance of surpassing the minimum goal.
FWIW, yes, I signed again.

I'm reading/participating in an interesting topic on a forum that is mostly nfa stuff.
Looks like a vocal few are crying about their "investments" becoming worthless if this passes, but the majority are supportive of this measure, even if it means taking a hit on the value of some of their collection.
And for full disclosure, my screen name is MPA guy there. Don't know why, but it's the only forum where I registered with a different screen name. Anyway, thought some of you guys would like to read it.

And these few guys are the problem. In fact I find that attitude more offensive than someone who is totally anti-gun.
It's not about being the elite few that can afford this stuff it's about protecting the rights of all.
I had a few people tell me that they already signed it, I had to point out that this is a NEW petition. Everyone make sure you mention that if you share it elsewhere.
There were several other floundering petitions on the White House site which I signed, but they are getting no traction.
One was to investigate Kevin De Leon, and another was to stop the unconstitutional California gun laws.
One was to repeal the Russian gun ban and another to repeal the importation ban on American military guns.
I don't think any of these petitions will get attention this time, but I think that they will be resubmitted with more vigour in the future.

Import ban on American military weapons, was probably done per the attorney general, because they are empowered with the ability to determine what is a "sporting" weapon, according to the 1968 gun control act (gca). I have hated that law for as long as I have known about it and I don't like a single invididual to be able to make such decisions. Further, "sporting" is not mentioned in the constitution or bill of rights anywhere in the first place.
I'm not certain what "Russian" weapon import ban you are speaking of. President Bush sr. stopped importation of Chinese weapons and ammunition by executive order. That could easily be reversed.
During that same executive order, he banned "certain" parts such as barrels from importation from anywhere because they didn't fit the "sporting" clause that I mentioned earlier.
