Push Congress to repeal the Hughes amendment to the FOPA and NFA because video of the vote shows it was VOTED DOWN

Created by G.T. on November 01, 2011

The Hughes amendment to the Firearms Owners Protection Act (FOPA) closed the machine gun registry in 1986. The problem is that there is now video available of the vote to add the Hughes amendment that clearly shows that the motion to add it failed in committee. However it was sent to the Senate with that amendment attached anyway after the house approved the FOPA without the Hughes amendment. Once passed in the Senate, President Regan signed it into law.
