H.R. 1141 would provide an amnesty period during which veterans and their family members can register certain firearms in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.
Detailed Summary
Veterans' Heritage Firearms Act of 2007 - Provides a 90-day amnesty period during which veterans and their family members can register in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record any firearm acquired before October 31, 1968, by a veteran while a member of the Armed Forces stationed outside the continental United States. Grants such an individual limited immunity under the federal criminal code and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the acquisition, possession, transportation, or alteration of such firearm before or concurrent with such registration. Extends such immunity to a veteran who attempts to register a qualifying firearm outside of the amnesty period if the veteran surrenders the firearm within 30 days after being notified of potential criminal liability for continued possession.
Requires the Attorney General to: (1) transfer each firearm qualifying as a curio or relic which has been forfeited to the United States to the first qualified museum that requests it; and (2) publish information identifying each such firearm which is available to be transferred to a museum. Prohibits the Attorney General from destroying any such firearm which has been forfeited until five years after the forfeiture. Requires that any firearm transferred to a qualified museum be registered to the transferee.

It is more of the leaders using our Brave Men and Women for immoral purposes and lying about what they are being sacrificed for, using the illusion of honorable intentions. They have been use to invade and steal Oil, create a foothold in the Middle East, plan to take over of all Oil reserves in the Middle East. The fight for our freedom sounds much better a purpose. why is Bush using Executive Orders and the protection by our Congress filled with cowards and Traitors giving him every demand for more power to abuse our privacy and civil liberties?
Now, they want to disarm the soldiers who get are not going to continue taking part in the lie.
Bill HR 1141 goes after all veterans since 1961. Still think it's not about Oil? Still think fire could ever cause the Free Fall Collapse" of steel framed buildings? Still think were not in trouble?
This monday Oct. 15TH starts their first day of "Vigilant Shield '08" the named of the five day "Martial Law" exercise.

Your rant is not relative to the bill being presented. Find a forum somewhere else to spew your vermin

Why limit it to pre-'68 NFA guns? I'd rather see all NFA weapons not now registered to be allowed to be kept by the military man or woman who brought it back. This would effectivly render the GCA'68 as well as the GCA '86 as invalid.
NFA is a tax issue, not a permission issue.
