107TH CONGRESS
1ST SESSION
H. R. 1455
To repeal section 658 of Public Law 104–208, commonly referred to as
the Lautenberg amendment.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
APRIL 4, 2001
Mr. GOODE (for himself, Mr. RYUN of Kansas, Mr. COOKSEY, Mr. THUNE,
Mr. BARR of Georgia, Mr. BARCIA, Mr. HEFLEY, Mr. HALL of Texas,
and Mr. PAUL) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
A BILL
To repeal section 658 of Public Law 104–208, commonly
referred to as the Lautenberg amendment.
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 ‘‘States’ Rights and Sec-
ond and Tenth Amendment Restoration Act of 2001’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) Congressional findings:
(1) Domestic Violence remains a very serious
problem in the United States. It is a dangerous
crime and should be punished as such, including,
where appropriate, as a felony.
(2) Many States have classified Domestic Vio-
lence crimes as misdemeanors, others as felonies.
States are the proper authority, rather than the
Federal Government, to classify Domestic Violence
offenses.
(3) Where appropriate, States should classify
Domestic Violence offenses as a felony.
(4) Section 658 of Public Law 104–208, com-
monly referred to as the Lautenberg amendment,
oversteps Federal authority, violating States’ rights,
because no nexus has been shown to exist between
Domestic Violence and interstate commerce.
(5) The Lautenberg amendment does not deal
with a subject delegated to Congress under article I,
section 8 of the Constitution of the United States
and is therefore unconstitutional under the tenth
amendment to the Constitution, as interpreted by
United States v. Lopez.
(6) The Lautenberg amendment oversteps
Congress’s power to regulate commerce as delineated
by the Commerce Clause of the United States Con-
stitution.
(7) Some of the strictest gun control laws are
found in cities where the number of incidents of
guns being used in violent crimes is the highest.
Therefore, the Lautenberg amendment does not re-
duce incidents of domestic violence.
(8) State and Federal judges already have the
power to deny persons convicted of misdemeanors
the right to possess firearms as a condition of proba-
tion or parole.
(9) The Lautenberg amendment is an unfunded
Federal mandate because States are liable for the
costs of monitoring those citizens who have been
banned for life from owning a firearm. Many times
this lifetime ban is a result of a misdemeanor, not
a felony.
(10) Section 658 of the Treasury-Postal portion
of Public Law 104–208 violates all notions of con-
stitutional due process and constitutes an ex post
facto law because it imposes a criminal penalty on
crimes which were not subject to that penalty at the
time of the Act.
(11) Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend
themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million
times every year. Of these self-defense cases, as

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Federal Living Wage
Responsibility Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) According to data from fiscal year 1999,
approximately 162,000 Federal contract workers did
not earn a wage sufficient to lift a family of four out
of poverty. Just under 60 percent of these poorly
paid workers work for large firms and 62 percent
work on Department of Defense contracts. These
workers represent 11 percent of the total 1.4 million
Federal contract workers in the United States.
(2) As of September 2000, 14,356 workers em-
ployed by the Federal Government earned less than
the poverty level for a family of four.
(3) A majority of workers earning less than a
living wage are adult females working full-time. A
disproportionate number of workers earning less
than a living wage are minorities.
(4) The Federal Government provides billions of
dollars to businesses each year, through spending
programs, grants and Government-favored financing.
