Edited to add that this is a copy of an e-mail I received on another list. If it is a repeat, I apologize.
Today was a great day. HR 4635 passed on the House floor by a 3 to 1 margin and an amendment to the bill was accepted that mandates the program and doesn't limit the number of participating pilots.
Also, Sen. Barbara Boxer (big time Democrat and anti-gun Senator from CA) just pledged her support of the equivalent Senate bill. This makes it a bipartisan bill and gives it a much better chance of passing.
Thanks to all of you that contacted your Rep. Now let's focus on the Senate! (S. 2554) Correct Capital Switchboard #: (202) 224-3121
APA has published a video showing why a Taser would be ineffective against numerous, dedicated terrorists and how lethal force is more appropriate. Watch the video:
