Turning a Right into a Privilege: HR 1112 Gives Feds Unfettered Power to Block Gun Sales

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2019

 

SUPPORT NRA-ILA

H.R. 8, which would criminalize the private transfer of firearms, has received significant attention from the gun rights community. However, H.R. 1112, which purportedly targets the inappropriately-named “Charleston loophole,” is just as insidious an attack on gun owners. Both bills were passed out of the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

H.R. 1112 would eliminate the 3-day safety-valve provision under the federal firearms background check system that prevents the government from enacting an indefinite delay of firearm purchases for law-abiding Americans.  All Federal Firearms Licensees (gun dealers) are required to conduct a background check on prospective purchasers to determine if transferring the firearm would violate state or federal law.

6 Ways to Keep Wedding Costs Low

(February 20, 2019)--Everybody spends different amounts on their wedding and how much you spend is dependent on different variables. For one, the amount you spend has a lot to do with what your budget is, as well as what kind of wedding you hope to have. It’s important to remember that there is life after your wedding day, so you don’t want to start this new life in serious debt. In light of this, if you’re getting married soon, try and focus on keeping costs as low as possible. If you need help doing this and currently have an out of control budget, here are six handy tips.

1. Decide What Matters Most

The average cost of a wedding in America is $33,391, and more than half of couples go into debt trying to pay for it. If you want to keep costs low, you’re going to need to prioritize and budget. Decide which parts of your wedding are most important, whether it be your venue or food, and focus on those areas while reducing expenses in others. 

2. Look for Cheaper Dresses

One of the expensive buys on a wedding day can be the bride’s dress. For this reason, consider looking for cheaper alternatives. This doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to have the dress of your dreams, but there are ways to do so without overspending. Firstly, decide on how much you’re willing to spend on your dress and then continue from there. You could then choose to rent your dream dress seeing as you’re unlikely to wear it again. There’s also the option of buying second hand or getting a non-traditional dress.

3. Mix Your Flowers

   My spiffy little Hyundai Accent could not pull the trailer I bought, so I sold her and bought a used truck. The Accent was named Katniss. The truck is Ragnar. I’ve become a different person.

 

   I drove Ragnar home from Philly. There was traffic. I was surprised at how easy he was to handle. Cars honked at me. I honked back. The sound of the horn was deep and resonant. Powerful. Definitely not a Katniss-sounding horn.

Amazon was ready to provide jobs for 25,000 to 40,000 New Yorkers, bringing in an estimated $27 billion in tax revenue over 25 years. It was asking for $3 billion in government incentives, a figure that surely could have been negotiated to reflect a more realistic deal.

Dear supporters, friends, and those interested in the Republican Party of Pennsylvania:

 

The Republican Party of Pennsylvania had an incredibly busy week getting out our message, growing our Party, and engaging with key connections to further our priorities.

Tuesday, for what I thought was possibly the best speech of his Presidency, I was so happy to see so many grassroots Republican organizations across Pennsylvania holding watch parties for President Trump’s 2019 State of the Union Address.

As I told the media this week:  I could not be more proud to support the President's agenda. Whether it’s his concern for keeping Americans safe, advocating for innocent life, or his strenuous defense of liberty and American interests, President Trump demonstrated why he should be re-elected.

Letters to the Ed: NEVER AGAIN

Friends, 

I’m writing today on the one year anniversary of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, which cruelly claimed the lives of 17 innocent students and educators.

Much has happened since Parkland. Students became renowned activists and launched the March for Our Lives. Parents of children lost to gun violence became fierce advocates and some were elected to office for the first time. Gun safety was on the ballot in November 2018—and Americans voted dozens of legislators beholden to the gun lobby out of office.

DEP STATEMENT ON U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY PFAS ACTIONS

(February 14, 2019) TRENTON - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's announcement today is disappointing at a time when there is a critical need to address perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) known to be present in America's drinking water. The Trump Administration is leaving millions of Americans exposed to harmful chemicals for too long by choosing a drawn-out process that will delay establishing a federal maximum contaminant level (MCL) for PFAS.
