Texas & National Weekly Gun News http://www.multibriefs.com/briefs/tsra/header.gif May 13, 2009 TSRA Quick Links > Home Annual Meeting Join Legislative Info Links Services Senate Backs Allowing Guns in National Parks from The Associated Press via the Bellingham Herald http://www.multibriefs.com/briefs/nr...Brief-icon.gifThe Senate on Tuesday backed an amendment that would allow people to carry loaded guns in national parks and wildlife refuges. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., sponsored the measure, which he said would protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. The amendment allows firearms in parks and wildlife refuges, as long as they are allowed by federal, state and local law. More Claims Against Gunmaker Glock Dismissed from the San Francisco Chronicle A federal appeals court dismissed damage claims against gun manufacturers Monday by the victims of a white supremacist's shooting rampage in the San Fernando Valley, saying a 2005 federal law backed by the firearms industry bars such lawsuits. In a 2-1 ruling, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said Congress had the case in mind when it passed the law. More Next Step?

The bi-partisan bill is a vital step to modernize and improve Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operations. More On Guns, the Elites Are Out of Touch from Townhall Many years ago, political scientists came up with a theory that elites lead public opinion. And on some issues, they clearly do. But on some issues, they don't. Two examples of the latter phenomenon are conspicuous at a time when Barack Obama enjoys the approval of more than 60 percent of Americans and Democrats have won thumping majorities in two elections in a row. One is global warming. The other is gun control. On both issues, the elites of academe, the media and big business have been solidly on one side for years. But on both, the American public has been moving in the other direction. More H.R. 2324--Aiming At Registering Gun Owners and Putting Gun Shows out of Business from NRA-ILA At a recent press conference with Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign, U.S. Representatives Michael Castle (R-Del.) and Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) introduced H.R. 2324--the "Gun Show Loophole Closing Act."
