Petetion to repeal the huges amendment from the firearm owners protection act. 5000 people need to sign before it can even be considered.

Doubt it will do any good what so ever, but hell, it's worth a shot.

Holy hell, that addition didn't even pass the house? Damn crooks. I'm sending this to everyone I know! Shouldn't need a petition to get this repealed. We should be signing up for a class action lawsuit, not a petition.

Here is what the link says for you lazy people.


Push Congress to repeal the Hughes amendment to the FOPA and NFA
The Hughes amendment to the Firearms Owners Protection Act (FOPA) closed the machine gun registry in 1986. The problem is that there is now video available of the vote to add the Hughes amendment that clearly shows that the motion to add it failed in committee. However it was sent to the Senate with that amendment attached anyway after the house approved the FOPA without the Hughes amendment. Once passed in the Senate, President Regan signed it into law.

By all rights the Hughes amendment should never have been included and signed into law, yet it now on the books. Please press Congress to repeal the Hughes amendment, especially since it was never passed legally to begin with.

signed, that is one poorly coded website!
I got stuck in a limbo where it said I was logged in, but couldn't sign a petition.

managed to fix it by signing out, then signing back in... buggy

It's obvious what kind of people are using this site, based on most "popular" petitions

Pretty weak numbers so far. Has this not hit Silencertalk, Arfcom, m4carbine, snipershide, the high road, etc yet?

I don't think so, but I don't see why not. I got it from an off roading forum.

The numbers on this thing are absolutely pathetic so far. I'm going to check Silencertalk and see if it has been posted. Can someone else check arf and some other sites please?
