“House and Senate negotiators are reportedly close to hammering out differences on legislation that could greatly impact gun owners. You will remember that before the Thanksgiving break, legislators were trying to ram PATRIOT Act revisions through the Congress and onto the Presidents desk. Some of these revisions would improve the PATRIOT Act … some would not. Of greatest concern to gun owners is a provision in H.R. 3199 that would allow the FBI to obtain ‘firearms sales records.’ … This bill is clearly on the fast track. It is rumored on Capitol Hill that negotiators are nearing a deal on H.R. 3199. You can greatly help by making them aware that gun owners are closely watching what they do on the subject of ‘firearms sales records.’” (12/06/05)
