Congressmen Introduce Pro-Gun Bill in House

U.S. Reps. Zack Space (D-Ohio) and Steve King (R-Iowa) have introduced the "Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Reform and Firearms Modernization Act of 2007" (HR 4900), legislation which represents a major advance in protecting the rights of firearms dealers, bringing consistency to ATF enforcement actions and providing ATF with additional compliance tools long sought by the bureau.

Support H.R. 5502: Legislation to simplify the permitting process
for low-impact film crews to produce programs on federal lands

Congressman Dan Boren (D-Okla.) and Don Young (R-Alaska) have introduced a bill (H.R. 5502) which would greatly simplify the permitting process for low-impact film crews to produce programs on federal lands. The legislation would establish a simple annual fee for crews of fewer than five people. Currently, television and film producers are forced to contend with a burdensome permitting process that is difficult to navigate and time-consuming. NSSF is encouraging all hunters, sportsmen and firearms enthusiasts to contact their congressman/woman and encourage them to co-sponsor H.R. 5502.

When film crews are discouraged from filming America’s great terrain, we all lose.
