Jon Tester (D-MT) is serious about getting the gun owner&#8217;s vote when he comes up for re-election in 2012. In February, he introduced S. 381, the Collectible Firearms Protection Act, which would amend the Arms Export Control Act so as to allow the nearly one million Garands and M-1 carbines in Korea to be imported into the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Tester introduced S. 570 which would ban the Department of Justice from tracking or cataloguing the purchases of multiple rifles or shotguns. The bill would do this by prohibiting the use of any Federal funds to require the reporting of such information. Rather than just do it by budget amendments annually, this bill puts a permanent fix in place to stop ATF&#8217;s over-reaching with their emergency reporting requirements.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>A BILL<br \/>\nTo prohibit the Department of Justice from tracking and<br \/>\ncataloguing the purchases of multiple rifles and shotguns.<\/p>\n<p>Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,<\/p>\n<p>SECTION 1. PROHIBITION OF TRACKING OR CATALOGUING FIREARMS PURCHASES.<br \/>\nFor fiscal year 2011 and each fiscal year thereafter, no Federal funds may be used to require a person licensed under section 923 of title 18, United States Code, to report information to the Department of Justice regarding the sale of multiple rifles or shotguns to the same person.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This bill has bipartisan support with 11 other Senators as co-sponsors.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Sen Barrasso, John [WY] &#8211; 3\/14\/2011<br \/>\nSen Baucus, Max [MT] &#8211; 3\/14\/2011<br \/>\nSen Begich, Mark [AK] &#8211; 3\/14\/2011<br \/>\nSen Burr, Richard [NC] &#8211; 3\/14\/2011<br \/>\nSen Chambliss, Saxby [GA] &#8211; 3\/14\/2011<br \/>\nSen Coburn, Tom [OK] &#8211; 3\/14\/2011<br \/>\nSen Ensign, John [NV] &#8211; 3\/14\/2011<br \/>\nSen Enzi, Michael B.

And I plan to keep standing in the way of anyone trying to curtail our rights under the guise of reducing crime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tester\u2019s measure would prevent ATF from circumventing Congress by collecting records on thousands of Americans\u2019 gun purchases.  It would also forbid the Department of Justice from using any federal funds to expand reporting requirements on firearms.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
