As expected some gun control at the federal level has cleared a Democrat-controlled committee and is headed to the House Floor. The two bills are:
H.R. 8 makes private gun sales, or even loaning a gun to a friend, illegal.
H.R. 1112, allows the background check for the purchase of a firearm to take up to 20 days (so much for the "instant" background check gun owners were promised).
The NRA has a system set up to easily send messages to your Congressional Representatives. Click here to do so:

Enter your information in the upper right-hand corner and then click the "Next" button.
This will be coming up for a vote soon, so please get this done ASAP. There will be more of these gun-control bills to kill in the coming weeks.
