U.S. Representative Massie Forms the Congressional Second Amendment Caucus

Excerpts from article:

Press release:

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, a group of U.S. Representatives, led by Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie, launched the Congressional Second Amendment Caucus. “The recent election results present us with a new opportunity to advance pro-gun legislation and reverse the erosion of the Second Amendment that’s occurred over the last few decades. I look forward to working with the new President and this determined group of conservatives to promote a pro-gun agenda,” Massie stated.

The following congressmen are founding members of the caucus: Jeff Duncan (R-SC), Ted Yoho (R-FL), Brian Babin (R-TX), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Mark Meadows (R-NC), Ken Buck (R-CO), Alex Mooney (R-WV), Justin Amash (R-MI), Jody Hice (R-GA), Dave Brat (R-VA), Warren Davidson (R-OH), Scott Perry (R-PA), and James Comer (R-KY).

Eligibility for membership in the Second Amendment Caucus will depend on a U.S. Representative’s voting record and his or her commitment to the caucus’s founding principles.

That is a solid beginning - hope to see positive results.

Many state legislatures have similar ... even in mine we have a sportsman caucus.

Now I contacted this caucus and they have no rules, so anyone it appears can just show up and say that they are joining.

Also, members can only join 1 caucus wherein they can actually caucus and be exempt from open meetings laws...they have to declare this with the Secretary of State's office to declare what caucus that they want to have as such...no member ever has declared to my knowledge.

Nemo- Congrats on the win for Mr. Garrett!

Be careful where you go for that meal, his portion of the tab is limited by law to not exceed $49.99.

"The general provision goes on to state that a Member, officer, or employee may accept from any other source virtually any gift valued below $50, with a limitation of less than $100 in gifts from any single source in a calendar year. Gifts having a value of less than $10 do not count toward the annual limit."
