[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Sen. Luther Strange introduces bill to protect gun owners - Protecting the Second Amendment Act

Posted: 6/23/2017 8:06:49 AM EDT

U.S. Sen. Luther Strange introduced a bill on Wednesday that would give more protection to gun owners.

Dubbed the Protecting the Second Amendment Act, the bill would "amend the Gun Control Act to nullify generalized, routine, or ongoing reporting requirement on lawful gun owners based on geographic location or sales records of multiple long guns, and prohibit future executive action against them," according to a statement from Strange's office.

Gun owners and dealers in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas were subjected to additional reporting requirements on firearms above .22 caliber under an Obama-era executive order designed to target the flow of firearms to Mexican drug cartels, the statement said.

Republican U.S. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, both of Texas, have signed on as cosponsors.

"On behalf of the NRA's five million members, we would like to thank Sen. Strange for introducing this important bill that would roll back the Obama administration's de facto gun registration scheme," NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris Cox said in the statement. "Sen. Strange continues to be a champion for our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in the U.S. Senate."

Strange criticized Obama in explaining the value of the bill.

This is the important part " prohibit future executive action against them" I hope we never get another anti-American anti-Constitution president like the traitor Obama.

Luther Strange is trying to get re-elected. The man has no principles that I can discern. He is a former K-street lobbyist appointed by a corrupt governor.

If the winds change, Luther will change with them.

He is one of the most die hard 2nd Amendment supporters I have ever seen.

I have never heard anything about him other than he is a rabid pro gunner.

Don't know about his other stuff though.

You can say that about every politician.

What matters is that today he's pushing a good thing. Tomorrow may be different, but that's no reason to look today's gift horse in the mouth.

Smart move by Luther.

Mo Brooks, who is running for Session's senate seat, just introduced concealed carry JUST FOR CONGRESSMEN.

Luther Strange, who is also running for Session's senate seat, introduces legislation to protect ALL gun owners.

Luther does strike me as someone who would "change his mind" depending on what was "politically expedient". I don't have a huge problem with that. If we do our job to let them know what's important to us, he'll know which side to be on. It's on us.

If the Bill passes then what does it matter?

I pegged you a long time ago as someone that would not be happy if a gold bar was left on your doorstep every morning. It must suck for you going through life that way.

He was laying the smack down on public places banning firearms.

I've never heard but good things about him.

The only thing was he was given the senator spot by the governor that he was investigating but Bentley got shitcanned and criminally convicted shortly there after.

Damn, did you just stumble off the Short Bus this morning? Hell, they are all two-bit hucksters, each-and-every-one, that's why they are called politicians.

About all you can do is hope a particular huckster helps get a Bill passed that works for our benefit. If that helps get them re-elected (or elected in this case) then so be it.

He's not the worst senator in the world, but rest assured that he will fall in line with the leadership and vote for this joke of a "repeal and replace" of Obamacare. He's a go along to get along politician. He'll follow the party leadship except in the most dire of circumstances when public outcry will not allow.

Good on him for this bill, but this guy's interest is to retire in office. He'll basically be a clone of our other senator Richard Shelby.

You could do a lot worse, just look at Virginia's Senators.

You are correct on one thing though, they all pretty much "fall in line". If not it's because they want some pork.

Warner was supposed to be one of the more moderate Dems (Blue Dog) going by his record as Virginia's Governor but he did nothing but gargle the Halfrican's balls the whole time and voted in favor the most leftist of Dem issues.

Of course Timid Kane was always a dick even as Governor.

All while "Big Mo" (who is running for Big Luther's seat) wants a special privilege to carry in DC while everyday Joe can't.

Such conflict in Alabama.
