    (Also called the 'Sporting Purposes Reform Act')
    Otherwise known at the federal level as HR 2710.
    Authored by Rep Rob Bishop out of Utah's 1st District.

    Shame on YOUR Representative if they are not on this list of cosponsors:

    Write 'em and let them know! Let them hear from you; this potential legislation
    helps 'reel in' the abuse of power by the BATFE (i.e., the green tip ammo thang
    and more). It helps provide a "fix" (not the only one needed - but at least a start)
    of the 1968 Gun Control Act!

    Kind of surprised Culberson was not.
    Could it be committee related?
    Let him know and asked for his support.

    Thanks for the heads-up!

    H.R. 2710, which is commonly referred to as the "Lawful Purpose in Self Defense Act," would:


    • eliminate ATF's authority to reclassify popular rifle ammunition as "armor piercing ammunition";

    • provide for the lawful importation of any non-National Firearms Act firearm or ammunition that may otherwise be lawfully possessed and sold within the United States;

    • protect shotguns, shotgun shells, and larger caliber rifles from arbitrary classification as "destructive devices" which under federal law subjects them to onerous registration and taxation provisions and creates a ban on possession of the firearm in some states;

    • broaden the temporary interstate transfer provision to allow temporary transfers for all lawful purposes rather than just for "sporting purposes."
