It's been a while since I have updated this page, sorry for that. As I going through the Congress webpage to see what bills, if any, have been moved on since September, I found the number to be very small, and the number of new bills to also be small. So I'm posting all of the bills that have had action since September below.
I also threw in one that isn't about firearms, but it's about knife ownership. I'm assuming most gun owning citizens own at the very least a pocket knife and most hunters own larger knives. I thought this might be of interest to some.
The SpeakUp page with the widgets for PopVox will be updated sometime this weekend as well.
