New bill aims to expand gun rights for military spouses


A Republican lawmaker introduced legislation Thursday that would simplify the gun purchase process for military spouses stationed alongside active-duty service members.

Announced by Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, H.R. 256 offers an exemption to military husbands and wives allowing them to purchase firearms wherever their active duty spouse is stationed even if they claim residency in another state.

The last thing the US needs is yet another law. This seems logical to me though, Gman's 'ex' notwithstanding.
