A new bill passed recently by Congress adds guns to the list of household goods protected from creditors during bankruptcy. Though controversial, the “Protecting Gun Owners in Bankruptcy Act of 2010″ (H.R. 5827) passed by a vote of 307-113.
Congressman John Boccieri (D-Ohio) sponsored the bill which enjoyed bipartisan support and the backing of the National Rifle Association (NRA). In the Senate, the bill is S. 3654 and sponsored by Patrick Leahy (D-VT).
