They wish to license gun owners, ammo purchases, and institute an UBC 7 day waiting period amongst other things.

Aren’t they supposed to be dealing with the COVID19 and not wasting time on this nonsense?

 

[LDM]

They might try to work this in as part of a COVID19 relief bill buried in the fine print.

The same towering intellect who was questioning Admiral Willard about Guam capsizing.

And they want to license firearms owners.

I say there needs to be minimum IQ standards to get a voter ID card.

And the minimum voting age should changed to 40

Cheers
Bill

And the drum keeps beating.
Wonder how that's going to work out for them with all the new gun buyers frustrated by the PRESENT regulations.

Yeah a friend at the LGS where I did a transfer today pulled up this viral rant by the owner of Warrior something or other guns and played it for me.

It was a rant at all the first time gun buyers, saying "NO we can't speed up the MANDATORY 10 day wait, NO you can't pay me extra and get your NICS check to clear faster, NO you can't take your gun home today - that isn't how it works" and on and on.

Maybe some of these morons who've been voting all these years to make buying guns harder and harder for law abiding citizens (just like THEM) will wake up and start supporting rolling BACK some of the restrictions.

Maybe they'll wake up and stop voting for politicians and laws that restrict their rights. We can only hope.

Pay attention to what my right hand is doing. Do not look at what I have in my left hand, there is nothing there that you need to be concerned about.

Hopefully some of our congress critters will take the time to read the bill before they might find it forced to a vote, perhaps late at night, maybe after a marathon session dealing with Covid19. It seems that some of them like to pass bills before anyone can see what is in those bills.

Move along, nothing to see here.

We have a weekly radio broadcast hosted by LEPD firearms that airs every Saturday on 610 WTVN. The subject about first time firearms purchaser came up and the common surprise about how hard it is to purchase a firearm. Especially, in the anti 2A states. I hope this has a negative effect on the anti gun sentiment out there. I hope the people who want to buy one to protect themselves and can't will understand our collective concern. Maybe they will realize that law abiding citizens are being forced to jump through unnecessary bureaucratic hoops for no logical reason. Guns don't create violence - people do.

LOL. I'd love to see that.

Nobody should be surprised by this. These politicians are witnessing how easy it is to trash the Constitution and strip civil liberties when people are afraid. As the old saying goes, you make hay when the sun shines...and the sun is definitely shining bright right now.

They, the House, don't have time for that stuff - they were on VACATION last week......... NOTHING interferes with House time off.

This "should" never get out of committee............

Truly Disgusting Bad people do bad things, With all the laws that exist about anything, some people break them, and have since the beginning of time. Be Safe,

Ҥ 932. License to own firearms and ammunition

“(a) In General.—Except otherwise provided in this section, it shall be unlawful for any individual who is not licensed under this section to knowingly purchase, acquire, or possess a firearm or ammunition.

Note the way the law is set up: “It is illegal to keep or bear guns or ammunition — with the following exception”

 

[Johnrh]

It's interesting to scan through this lunatic bill. But be careful, if the dems get control of the House, Senate and the President you will most likely see this come up. Of note is that this licensing requirement does not apply to anyone who legally possessed their guns prior to the law taking affect. Right, I wonder who is going to figure that one out. Also there is a 30% tax on all firearms and a 50% tax on all ammunition.

And to think, WE are paying someone to write this ****.

 

[fordson]

Under what pretense are additional taxes on firearms and ammo justified? I relate this to nothing more than “Jim Crow” law tactics. A tax on the exercise of a Constitutional Right.

 

[JcMack]

If this has already been covered I apologize.

Fact check: Would a U.S. House bill ban assault weapons?
