Question for gun enthusists

[mollyanna58]

I received a call today from a paid caller for the NRA.  He started by telling me about some "terrible" legislation introduced to stop "us" from buying "our" ammo online, require "all of us" to buy expensive liability insurance on "all of our" guns or face big fines, and that it will allow the government to track how much ammo "we" purchase.  Then he offered me a discounted 5 year membership in the NRA.

I toyed with telling him that, as an insurance agent, I might like the part about requiring expensive insurance .  However, when he finally stopped to take a breath, I simply asked him to remove my name from their call list.

I did want to look up the bill he was talking about.  I jotted down H.R. 2456, but that turns out to be an old bill with nothing to do with gun ownership. 

Does anyone know what bill he is referring to, or was he just a paid fibber?

Did you check your local state legislation?  These sound like they are local laws, not federal ones.  WA, OR and NC all have HB 2436 and this was just at the top of my listing from Google.  None had to do with gun laws, but I didn't go any further.

There's always some insane legislation on the table somewhere that has no chance of passing. I expect there is some grain of truth in what he told you, but basically, it's his job to get you to join.
