one million plus member
National Rifle Association,
today hailed the actions taken
by the Congress when they
passed the Black Powder
Exemption Bill (S.1083.)
The Bill is designed to offer
relief to restrictions imposed by
the Organized Crime Control
Act of 1970 (PL 91-452) upon
legitimate users of antique
firearms by preventing them
from obtaining sufficeint
quantities of their only suitable
propellant.
According to General Rich,
"Hundreds of thousands of law-
abiding American citizens use
blackpower firearms for
historically oriented recreation,
including, target shooting,
hunting, historical reenact-
ments and demonstrations.
General Rich concluded with
"this is certainly a step in the
right direction for the millions
of law-abiding Americans who
enjoy the wholesome reaction of
sport shooting with black
powder."
