Boxes... Box Cars...
Hmmmm......
Uhoh
Talk about a blunder!
“It’s a mistake in the law’s wording. But for now, the clerical error is the law of the land.”
Clerical error? Yeah right. Even if it was an error, it shows that Congress needs to read every bill aloud on the floor of the both the House and Senate before any vote can be taken.
They must be worried about them hijacking an AMTRAK. Typical Liberal morons.
No mistake here. Just an incomplete sentence. Meant to say, stuffing passengers into locked cattle cars.

How do you “mandate” away a Constitutional right?
“getting on board”
LOL! Do you actually go through security for trains
I suspect some clerk made the change to be funny, and no one caught it in time. Somewhere somebody is laughing his a$$ off. I got a giggle too.
Anyone Know the bill number? Would like to look at this or a site that list all the bill recently signed into law.
Hmmm.......Last time a government required people to be locked up in boxes on trains was ............................

Amtrak Update
Friday, December 18, 2009
As we reported in last week’s Grassroots Alert, on December 10, the U.S. House of Representatives approved an NRA-backed amendment, introduced by U.S. Senator Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), to allow Amtrak travelers to transport firearms in checked baggage where checked baggage service is available. The Wicker amendment was included along with several government agencies’ appropriations bills in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2010.
The Firearms Owners’ Protection Act protects law-abiding gun owners from local interference when traveling by car, and the Transportation Security Administration has rules for transporting guns in checked baggage for those traveling by air. But for nearly a decade, those who travel by train have been prohibited from bringing firearms on board Amtrak. The Wicker Amendment will fix that problem.
A modified version of the amendment was included as one of the six appropriations bills considered as an omnibus spending package. The measure was passed by both houses of Congress and was signed into law on Wednesday, December 16.

Is it even a law? If the bill passed by the House and Senate is not the same then can it be law.
While we all laugh at these Jackasses in Washington they are having the last laugh..
Am I missing something? Doesn’t this mean there are still no legal practical provisions for carrying a firearm on a Train for the next year or so?
Whose laughing now?

Obama isn’t reading any of the bills he signs, this is proof.
Fortunately, gun owners aren’t apt to be riding on the very rail transportion system that they have subsidized through their excessive taxes.
They probably meant "box cars".I found its HR 1105 but I am having a problem finding the amendment number. It was sponsored by Rodger Kicker but all references so far have no number just the intent of the amendment. My goal is to find the bad wording in the bill.
