To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to regulate certain 50 caliber
sniper weapons in the same manner as machine guns and other firearms.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JUNE 10, 1999
Mr. BLAGOJEVICH (for himself, Mr. WAXMAN, and Ms. NORTON) introduced
the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means
A BILL
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to regulate
certain 50 caliber sniper weapons in the same manner
as machine guns and other firearms.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Military Sniper Weap-
on Regulation Act of 1999’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that—
(1) certain firearms originally designed and
built for use as long-range 50 caliber military sniper
weapons are increasingly sold in the domestic civil-
ian market;
(2) the intended use of these long-range fire-
arms, and an increasing number of models derived
directly from them, is the taking of human life and
the destruction of materiel, including armored vehi-
cles and such components of the national critical in-
frastructure as radars and microwave transmission
devices;
(3) these firearms are neither designed nor used
in any significant number for legitimate sporting or
hunting purposes and are clearly distinguishable
from rifles intended for sporting and hunting use;
(4) extraordinarily destructive ammunition for
these weapons, including armor-piercing and armor-
piercing incendiary ammunition, is freely sold in
interstate commerce; and
(5) the virtually unrestricted availability of
these firearms and ammunition, given the uses in-
tended in their design and manufacture, present a
serious and substantial threat to the national secu-
rity.
SEC. 3. COVERAGE OF 50 CALIBER SNIPER WEAPONS
UNDER NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Subsection (a) of section 5845 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (defining firearm) is
amended by striking ‘‘(6) a machine gun; (7) any silencer
(as defined in section 921 of title 18, United States Code);
and (8) a destructive device.’’ and inserting ‘‘(6) a 50 cal-
iber sniper weapon; (7) a machine gun; (8) any silencer
(as defined in section 921 of title 18, United States Code);
and (9) a destructive device.’’
(b) 50 CALIBER SNIPER WEAPON.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Section 5845 of such Code
is amended by redesignating subsections (d) through
(m) as subsections (e) through (n), respectively, and
by inserting after subsection (c) the following new
subsection:
‘‘(d) 50 CALIBER SNIPER WEAPON.—The term ‘50
caliber sniper weapon’ means a rifle capable of firing a
center-fire cartridge in 50 caliber, .50 BMG caliber, any
other variant of 50 caliber, or any metric equivalent of
such calibers.’’
(2) MODIFICATION TO DEFINITION OF RIFLE.—
Subsection (c) of section 5845 of such Code is
amended by inserting ‘‘or from a bipod or other sup-
port’’ after ‘‘shoulder’’.
(c) EFFECTIVE DATE.—The amendments made by
this section shall take effect on the date of the enactment
of this Act.
Æ
‘‘(B) TIME
PERIODS
FOR
ACTION.—Not
later than 60 days after the end of the period
for public comment, the Secretary shall take ac-
tion on the petition. If the Secretary is unable
to take action on the petition during the 60-day
period, the Secretary shall inform the peti-
tioner, in writing, the reasons that taking the
action is not possible, the date by which the ac-
tion will be taken, and the action that will be
taken or is likely to be taken. In every case, the
Secretary shall take action on the petition not
later than 120 days after the end of the period

‘‘(4) JUDICIAL
REVIEW.—The failure of the
Secretary to comply with any requirement of this
subsection shall constitute final agency action for
purposes of judicial review. If the court conducting
the review determines that the Secretary has failed
to comply with the requirement, the court shall
order the Secretary to comply within a period deter-
mined to be appropriate by the court.
‘‘(c) IMMINENT HAZARD AUTHORITY.—

quirement that would otherwise violate paragraph
(6) or (7) of section 403A(a) or subsection (a), if—

Received
AN ACT
To amend the Controlled Substances Act to add gamma
hydroxybutyric acid and ketamine to the schedules of
controlled substances, to provide for a national awareness
campaign, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
HR 2130 RDS
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Hillory J. Farias Date-
Rape Prevention Drug Act of 1999’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds as follows:
(1) Gamma hydroxybutyric acid (also called G,
Liquid X, Liquid Ecstasy, Grievous Bodily Harm,
Georgia Home Boy, Scoop) has become a significant
and growing problem in law enforcement. At least
20 States have scheduled such drug in their drug
laws and law enforcement officials have been experi-
encing an increased presence of the drug in driving
under the influence, sexual assault, and overdose
cases, especially at night clubs and parties.
(2) A behavioral depressant and a hypnotic,
gamma hydroxybutyric acid (‘‘GHB’’) is being used
in conjunction with alcohol and other drugs with
detrimental effects in an increasing number of cases.
It is difficult to isolate the impact of such drug’s in-
gestion since it is so typically taken with an ever-
changing array of other drugs and especially alcohol,
which potentiates its impact.
(3) GHB takes the same path as alcohol, proc-
esses via alcohol dehydrogenase, and its symptoms
at high levels of intake and as impact builds are
comparable to alcohol ingestion/intoxication. Thus,
HR 2130 RDS
aggression and violence can be expected in some in-
dividuals who use such drug.
(4) If taken for human consumption, common
industrial chemicals such as gamma butyrolactone
and 1.4-butanediol are swiftly converted by the body
into GHB. Illicit use of these and other GHB ana-
logues and precursor chemicals is a significant and
growing law enforcement problem.
(5) A human pharmaceutical formulation of
gamma hydroxybutyric acid is being developed as a
treatment for cataplexy, a serious and debilitating
disease. Cataplexy, which causes sudden and total
loss of muscle control, affects about 65 percent of
the estimated 180,000 Americans with narcolepsy, a
sleep disorder. People with cataplexy often are un-
able to work, drive a car, hold their children or live
a normal life.
