Busy session of congress already. I know some of these are discussed here, but I am including all of the ones I could find that had firearms related provisions. If this needs to be in another thread, or needs to be moved, please do so.
This sessions bills which could have an effect on firearms:
HR203 Requires LEO's to, upon observing or learning that a weapon is present on the premises, seize any weapon that the officer reasonably believes would expose the victim or any other household member to a risk of serious bodily injury, (it seems to me that this means a weapon belonging to the victim is fair game as well)
HR96 Would require gun show promoters to obtain a permit from the US AG to have the gun show, require all vendors to register in a ledger, require the ledger to be sent to the US AG within 60 days (thus registering ALL vendors- even non-firearms ones), and prohibit ALL non-licensees from transferring firearms at a gun show.
HR 226 requires reciprocity of CCW, as does HR 861[/URL]
HR252 redefines a "violent predator against children" as being ANY crime of violence against children- effectively making many "gun crimes" infractions turn you into a "sexual predator"
HR 256 makes it illegal for persons under 21 to own handguns OR "assault weapons" OR high cap mags
HR 808 establishes a "Department of Peace and Nonviolence" which has the authority to "(5) analyze existing policies, employ successful, field-tested programs, and develop new approaches for dealing with the implements of violence, including gun-related violence and the overwhelming presence of handguns;" and "create and establish a Peace Academy, which shall be modeled after the military service academies;provide a 4-year course of instruction in peace education, after which graduates will be required to serve 5 years in public service in programs dedicated to domestic or international nonviolent conflict resolution"
HR989 protects persons whose only role with regard to a product in the stream of commerce is as a lawful seller of the product.
HR 1022 Of course we already know about this one. One hidden thing here: This bill would expand the previous AWB by requiring that all transfers of "assault weapons" go through a dealer, and appears to ban the transfer of all high cap mags, unless through a dealer, and further requires registration of all high cap mags that ARE transferred through a dealer (unless I am misreading here).
HR 1069 Text of this bill not yet available
HR 1096 Text of this bill not yet available
HR 1141 Text of this bill not yet available
HR 1167 Text of this bill not yet available, but looks to expand the NICS.
