You want this federal "purchase permit" thing? Okay, then I want to be able to use this "permit" to buy any number of guns, anywhere in the US, from any private individual, gun store, distributor or manufacturer. And having this "federal purchase permit" would legally supersede any restrictive state laws.
I still don't like it, but we would at least be getting something in return. Of course something like this would never pass because we're always giving up ground for nothing in return.
Gottlieb, Toomey, and Coburn have outdone the “progressives” at their own game.
The bill proposed has plenty of trojan horses in it for our side, and takes about 20 steps toward restoring our rights for a very small one backward.
I think the NRA will be with this one as well, and I think Obama may veto it. It is much like when Senator Coburn forced Obama to sign the guns in parks bill as part of the budget he wanted.
This has all kinds of stuff that Obama and the anti-freedom people hate. It is a real “compromise” in where we get a lot, and they get to save face, and get very, very little.
