Gun Legislation in the 109th Congress

In the 109th Congress, several dozen gun control-related proposals are likely to be introduced. If past Congresses are any indication, however, only a handful of bills will receive significant legislative action. In the 108th Congress, for example, two firearms-related bills were enacted. One exempts certain law enforcement officers from limitations imposed by state concealed carry laws (P.L. 108-277). The other extends the undetectable firearms ban for 10 years (P.L. 108-174). Provisions were also included in the Consolidated Appropriations Acts for FY2004 and FY2005 (P.L. 108-199/P.L. 108-447) that require the destruction of Brady background check records for approved transactions within 24 hours. The House passed a bill (H.R. 3193) to repeal the District of Columbia "handgun ban," but the Senate did not consider this measure.
