Senate Passes Wicker Amendment to Federal Budget

Friday, April 03, 2009

Senate Amendment 798, an amendment to the Budget bill, was offered by U.S. Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) and supported by NRA-ILA. The purpose of the amendment is to ensure that law-abiding Amtrak passengers are allowed to securely transport firearms in their checked baggage. The measure prohibits funds from being appropriated to Amtrak unless firearms are allowed in checked baggage on Amtrak trains. The Senate passed this amendment on Thursday, April 2, by a vote of 63-35.

Well, that's a nice little thing.

I once thought about taking the train down to Winona to turkey hunt, but realized there was no way to take my shotgun along.

Agreed. Now I have an alternative to flying places. Did you know they have 15-day "unlimited travel" passes? Take a 2-week vacation for a fixed rate. Ride all you want.

Its our tax dollars at work.

I've been paying for this heavily subsidized, massive waste of money for a long time with nothing to show for it. I suppose this will give me the opportunity to actually use it once or twice in my lifetime.
