In the House...

...Congressman Rob Bishop (UT-R) gives us HR 2710.

H.R. 2710, which is commonly referred to as the "Lawful Purpose in Self Defense Act," would:

• eliminate ATF's authority to reclassify popular rifle ammunition as "armor piercing ammunition;
• provide for the lawful importation of any non-National Firearms Act firearm or ammunition that may otherwise be lawfully possessed and sold within the United States;
• protect shotguns, shotgun shells, and larger caliber rifles from arbitrary classification as "destructive devices" which under federal law subjects them to onerous registration and taxation provisions and creates a ban on possession of the firearm in some states;
• broaden the temporary interstate transfer provision to allow temporary transfers for all lawful purposes rather than just for "sporting purposes."

Now lets see how it fares in the House. With the Republicans in control one would think it has a good chance of passage. Then again, usually it's our friends in the GOP that usually screw us.
