House Roll Call Vote On Terror
Did Your Representative Assault Your Rights?
On April 18, 1996, the House of Representatives passed the “Government Terror” bill by a vote of 293-133. The bill gives the BATF a $40 million pay increase (Sec. 816); gives the BATF carte blanche to make recommendations for ammunition and firearms bans (Sec. 809); federalizes many state crimes, thus enlarging the BATF’s scope and jurisdiction (Sec. 702); severely damages the ability of the courts to rescue honest gun owners who are unjustly incarcerated (Title I); allows the government to use “secret evidence” against certain individuals (Title IV); potentially punishes gun dealers because they should have known the box of ammunition they sold someone would be used in a violent crime (Sec. 706); removes protections against wiretapping wireless data (Sec. 731); and requires banks to freeze the assets of domestic groups in certain situations (Sec. 303).
