Legislation written straight from the Bloomberg playbook. So many wrong things in this legislation, I don't know where to begin!
Taking away/limiting your right to protect yourself and your family in your own home! Exposure to devastating criminal and civil punishment for protecting yourself,in your own home, from criminal intrusion is just the beginning of this horrible proposed law.
Compulsory insurance coverage for all gun owners! Yup, want to exercise your constitutional right to keep and bear arms, better be ready to be forced to pay an insurance company to exercise that right! Want to sell, or transfer a gun, you will need to get proof that the other person has that insurance, too, or your a criminal! This is also back-door registration and restriction of on the buying and selling of guns. What part of "shall not be infringed" do they not understand?!
How about the whole reciprocity law change. Don't like concealed carry, how about we legislate some onerous elements that effectively diminish people's rights to exercise their rights to bear arms across state lines. Again, back door legislation designed to restrict people from exercising their 2nd amendment rights. They want to make it more difficult to carry, have less people doing it.
How about that "gun violence restraining order" law! Man, that won't be used to abuse gun ownership, will it! Some good old fashioned gun confiscation is always such a juicy target for these gun grabbing, people-controlling types! Let's use some hype, hysteria, and a some tragic examples to set the stage for gun confiscation based on someone's accusations. How about demanding true due process when wanting to take away constitutional rights! I'm 100% positive that there are situations where this is necessary, but let's not provide a carte blanche, loosely defined, legally binding method to strip rights. If this, then what's next...!
Oh, I really like the proposed law to exercise economic assault on firearms manufacturers by requiring the state to divest any of its funds/holdings in these companies. Targeting legally operating companies because they do not fit in your political ideology does not mean it's right, or legal.
Don't get me started on the magazine capacity law proposal. But, I do love it when they exempt an "agency, department, or agency" of the state, or federal government. Takes some of the heat/opposition away from this infringement. You have no idea how important this component is to the gun grabbers, they cannot afford to take on opposition from government agencies. So, divide and conquer is always easier... I realize law enforcement needs large capacity mags, support this 100%. What I'm saying is that if they need them, then why shouldn't a citizen also be allowed them? We live in the same world, and are often exposed to similar dangers. If I can't carry a police officer with their large capacity magazine with me, I should be able to carry a large capacity magazine. Plus, this is supposed to be government for the people, by the people... We all need to stand together for our rights, and be vocal for ALL of us.
There's so much more to this Bloomberg blue print of proposed law changes. But, I've said enough. Please get involved in this.
All North Carolina gun owners, and other residents that care about individual freedoms, need to call and write their state representatives to oppose this over-reaching, unconstitutional, and largely unnecessary legislation.
This means you, please do not be passive and think that somebody else will engage. You must engage, and be vocal. People behind these laws rely on people not getting involved to get these bills passed.
It's easy to Google your state rep's name, phone number, email and mailing addresses. Also, contact any of the reps in leadership positions, even if they are not your district representatives, they need to hear your voice. Be polite, be direct, and be firm that you expect them to oppose this proposal. Thank you!
