VICTORY IN D.C. AS "PERSONAL PROTECTION ACT" PASSES U.S. HOUSE!

In a tremendous pro-Second Amendment victory, on September 29, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved the "District of Columbia Personal Protection Act--" legislation seeking to restore the right of self-protection to law-abiding citizens of Washington, D.C. HR 3193, which was introduced by Representatives Mark Souder (R-Ind.) and Mike Ross (D-Ark.), passed by a bi-partisan vote of 250-171. The bill is the House companion to Senate bill S. 1414, introduced by Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah).

The legislation now heads to the Senate for approval. Please contact your U.S. Senators and urge them to cosponsor and support S. 1414. You can find contact information for your elected officials by using the "Write Your Representatives" tool at www.NRAILA.org, or you can call your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121.

It was 1/2 of a victory anyway.  The Senate isn't taking any action on it at this point.  Too bad.
