Some News On Tiahrt Provision

In case you didn't know, the combined federal appropriations measure for 2008 that was approved by the House and Senate before lawmakers left for their Christmas holiday break included the Tiahrt Amendment, which New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his anti-gun coalition had been trying to kill.

The amendment, authored by Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-KS), which has been renewed for the past three years, will continue to restrict the sharing of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives gun trace data to law enforcement agencies for another year. Bloomberg and cohorts had wanted the data for use in lawsuits against the firearms industry, including licenses gun shops around the nation.
