Urge Senator Tom Coburn to Cosponsor Important Pro-Gun Reform Bill
S. 941, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE)
Reform and Firearms Modernization Act, represents NRA-ILA's latest
effort to pass legislation that will make it easier for lawful gun
owners and dealers to comply with federal law and regulations, while
ensuring that those who break the law are punished accordingly. This
bipartisan bill also serves as a vital step toward modernizing and
improving BATFE's overall operations. The bill would roll back
unnecessary restrictions, correct errors, and codify longstanding
congressional policies in the firearms arena.
Of highest importance, S. 941 totally rewrites the system of
administrative penalties for licensed dealers, manufacturers and
importers of firearms. Today, for most violations, BATFE can only give a
federal firearms license (FFL) holder a warning or totally revoke his
license.
S. 941 would allow fines or license suspensions for less serious
violations, while still allowing license revocation for the kind of
serious violations that would block an investigation or put guns in the
hands of criminals. This prevents the all-too-common situations where
BATFE has punished licensees for insignificant technical violations-such
as improper use of abbreviations, or filing records in the wrong order.
Currently S. 941 has 32 cosponsors, including Senator Jim Inhofe. To

S. 941, please visit:

Please e-mail and call Senator Coburn today and urge him to cosponsor S.
941, which is a key part of our battle to protect the Second Amendment
in Congress.
