Gun Legislation in the 109th Congress


The 109th Congress has continued the national debate over the efficacy and constitutionality of further federal regulation of firearms and ammunition. Several dozen gun control-related proposals have been introduced that represent a variety of positions on gun control. If past congressional action is indicative, however, only a handful of bills will likely receive significant legislative action. Nevertheless, in a flurry of activity, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security has held several oversight and legislative hearings, and approved four gun control-related bills. On May 3, 2006, the subcommittee approved the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATFE) Modernization and Reform Act of 2006 (H.R. 5092). On May 18, 2006, three other bills were approved in subcommittee markup.
