Gun Legislation in the 109th Congress

The 109th Congress is likely to continue 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 recent oversight and legislative hearings, including one markup, on gun control legislation. 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: the Firearm Commerce Modernization Act (H.R. 1384); the NICS Improvement Act of 2005 (H.R. 1415); and the Firearms Corrections and Improvement Act (H.R. 5005). In addition, the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure ordered reported the Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006 (H.R. 5013) on May 17, 2006.
