  I read it at work and I checked it out here in Kentucky.  It was defeated in two days back in March of this year.  It was introduced by some Democrat but was, as I said, soundly defeated in two days.  The fist of it was initially in 18 states.  I hope the other 17 do the same thing ours did...kill it.

Perhaps the new socialist Congress will take it up as federal legislation.  Don't say it "can't happen".

I'll take the time to write my state rep since South Carolina is on the list, but due remember that any State level representative can introduce a bill.  It's introduction doesn't necessarily mean that it has any support beyond the submitter.  Indeed South Carolina has been getting less strict over time.  A couple years ago we got the 1 handgun per month law repealed, and just this year we had a "no sales tax on firearms" weekend approved.

As noted though, I would be worried about something like this at the Federal level.

Bill was canned in Mississippi and Alabama as well

The economy is in the toilet. A half million Americans are losing their jobs every week. Two million American families have lost their homes to foreclosure. America is in a world of hurt and Nim, all you have to worry about is a bunch of garden variety bills that didn't get past first base last year. Give me a break.  We will keep looking for any real anti-gun legislation that has a chance of passage. In the meantime stop with the chicken little routine. Start worrying about whether you are going to have a job next year. That is what most rational people are worrying about.

Nim,
The more appropriate forum would probably be "2nd Amendment and Political Issues" (scroll further down).

Yeah Nim.  What's the matter with you, coming to a shooting & outdoors site and talking about an ammunition topic?  Until unemployment is down to 3% and the Dow is at 14,000 you should confine your attention to the economy.  The liberal majority are very pro-2nd Amendment anyway.  No worries.  They will never support any legislation that will make it for difficult for the law-abiding gun owner.  They even said so.  But anyway, you are not supposed to worry about those things now.

Nim is 9 months late. The legislation he wants us to protest was  uniformly voted down earlier in the year.  Mostly last spring.  What kind of uninformed fools are we going to look like writing our legislators about legislation that was soundly beaten last session. I would rather spend my energy working on something that might happen.  If Nim has something current, as in a big push that is planned for the spring, let him post it in the right forum.  I will join right in.

I must have missed where Nim asked you to protest.  I interpreted what Nim said was to inform people of this initiative.  You seem to have gotten that wrong or are reading something I am missing.. 
Yes it was defeated in many states - not all as you stated, however, and the 2009 legislative agendas are not yet published for all states.  I think it's a reasonable assumption that it might likely reappear. 
The topic is fair game and quite pertinent on an outdoors/shooting site. 
But, it really should be taken over to the 2nd Amendment/Political forum so I'm done on this one here.

Nim's post was about educating people about what is going on out there and referenced one particular type of source.  He didn't advocate writing or calling anyone nor did he make claims the bills were still active.  Rest assured those bills will be back next year.  Take away what we enjoy in life, what we work for, what we need to  protect our families and future, and worries of a job are moot unless one wants to do nothing but work, eat, pay taxes, and set on their butts.  Fools come in all sizes.  Pay attention to what is written, not what one thinks should be written.

I dont know about what the political campains look like in your all parts of the country, but here in Montana, every democratic politician runs campain ads shoing them shooting rifles, shotguns and handguns.  Unless crime in this country sees a real surge, I doubt many politicians are going to spend political capital going after such a devisive issue that, at this point in time, not many constituents give a darn about.  Crime has, in general, been on the decline in this country for a while now and that is without any gun control legislation.  Just my $ .02.

Since the topic came up.

Tis a good thing to be vigilant and proactive regarding 2nd ammendment rights no matter what the economic climate is or what direction the political winds blow. Rewind back to the 1970's when gas lines were long, double digit unemployment and interest rates the norm, and crime rates merited little column space. I still remember the non-stop onslaught of legal challenges that the hunting/shooting community and wildlife managers faced from numerous corners during that decade. Even now, there are increasing efforts to put restrictions on sportsmen and shooters, particularly in suburbanizing areas
