Looks like the 110th congress has proposed some gun bills. The news release is a bit alarmist but the relevant parts are:

H.R. 73, the Bartlett bill, would protect the right to obtain firearms for security and to use firearms in defense of self, family, or home, and to provide for the legal enforcement of such right.

Castle doctrine goes national.

H.R. 226, the Stearns bill, would set national standards according to which non-residents of a state who possess permits to carry concealed firearms issued by other states may carry concealed firearms in the state.

I think that’s really up to the states but I wouldn’t be heartbroken if it passed.

And a bad one:

H.R. 96, by Congressman Mike Castle of Delaware. This bill, also referred to the House Judiciary Committee, would set up so many requirements for background checking and report filing in connection with the numerous gun shows which occur annually in the United States as to undermine or eliminate most or all of them. Gun owners probably will fight this one tooth and nail.
