I've seen only one or two references to this news in some other threads but figured this was big enough interest to us to warrant its own shout out... cross your fingers this survives all the way cause it would be a huge win for us.

Amendment to Block Executive Action ATF 41P Passes U.S. House

Hopefully like the green tip ammo crap having support from law makers will pressure them to back off.

There are probably 1000's of these little amendments or provisions in these type of budget bills. I highly doubt the entire budget would be veto'd at the executive level just because of this one provision amongst so many if it passes the house and senate.

Bigger challenge in my mind is this clearing the senate without the amendment being stripped back out. That is where the greatest risk likely is.  

But I'm optimistic given the whole 41P thing isn't really a headline news item that this could just sail by like a ship in the night.

It is part of on-going appropriations bill, he will sign just like he signed other pro-gun legislation.

Did I read correctly that the CLEO signature would be eliminated but you still have to send photo, finger prints and a copy of the form to the CLEO? That still is more shit I rather not deal with given i go the trust route. I still have to do a background check when I take my cans into possession which is enough.  Either way seems to be a lot of happenings going on, its a start for the ASA on the compromising end. On the open minded compromising end since we did not get "shall sign" here in Texas with this go round it would be cool but I stick by my 41P ATF reply that it should be dropped.

eta: see above strike


ETA2: never mind it was context of the old admin. supporting eliminating the CLEO sign at a point prior to 41P but would include the other individual requirements (photo, fingerprints & copy of form to CLEO ) Rock it out ASA, I am going to go sit down now

I think it's just a bit of word play. They are saying that photos, prints and backgrounds are currently done by the ATF, eliminating the need for CLEO sign off. Obviously for individuals only but they don't get specific...

Oh how I wish it read like this:

On June 3rd, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the fiscal year 2016 Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS) Appropriations bill, H.R. 2578 by a 242 – 183 margin. Included in H.R. 2578 is an American Suppressor Association backed provision to repeal 922(o).

I opened the bill but I couldn't find the language anymore......did someone get rid of that provision?

I found this thread in a search... I'm surprised there isn't more talk about this on ARFCOM.



This is HUGE if it passes through the senate, as is... we won't have to worry about 41P or any sort of ammo ban because Obama will sign.  Those issues, while huge to us, are rather low-priority for the anti-gun dickheads.

922(o) is about machine guns...not 41p. I fully support repealing (o), but me thinks someone made a typo...

Once again, the version on the .gov website doesn't contain the language anymore. Unless something changes, there's really nothing to be happy about anymore.

Like the OP said, Obungo will sign it if he wants FY 2016 funding for DoC, DoJ, and NSF among others.

This is not the major purpose of the bill, and it's how stuff gets done in DC.

Could be done, and could have been done every year since 1987.  Nobody was much interested in 922(o) until fairly recently.

The amendments haven't been stripped out.  Whatever's on the website is irrelevant.



 





ETA:  You must have missed it somehow.  The Amendment is still listed.







It's Amendment 320 sponsored by John Carter.

You may be 100% correct, I'm not 100% sure which is valid and which is not. I was looking here:

http://appropriations.house.gov/legislation/

On all 4 CJS bills, I could not find anything about the CLEO provision. I previously was able to find ammendment so I assumed that it had been pulled. It very well could still be there and I was looking at the incorrect version.
