WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Bill Cassidy (R-LA) announced that he will introduce legislation to update the definition of an "Antique Firearm" from one manufactured in or before 1898, to one manufactured in or before 1913, which is before WWI. This would allow gun collectors to sell and purchase these guns without going through a federally-licensed firearms dealer.
The proposed legislation has received widespread support from the National Rifle Association and Louisiana Shooters Association, among others.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) issued the following statement following the defeat of the so-called Manchin-Toomey “gun compromise”.
“At this point in our history, when Americans feel their freedoms are under assault by the federal government, the Manchin-Toomey proposal should have been opposed. Law abiding citizens should not be treated as part of the problem. Therefore, Congress should act thoughtfully and not pass legislation that expands the scope and size of government.”
