"New bill would make it a crime to “transfer” your gun to a spouse"

Will this apply to gay marriages as well, or will they get a special exception for that too?

The Dick Act of 1902-03
All members of the unorganized militia (the people) have the absolute personal right and 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms of any type, and as many as they can afford to buy.

The Dick Act of 1902-03 cannot be repealed; to do so would violate bills of attainder and ex post facto laws which would be yet another gross violation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

just saying..pass it around.

My wife and I have purchased firearms over a long period. We mostly recall who signed the 4473 at purchase, but they are community property and stored together. There isn't an "tranferring" going on. I intend for them to be in my estate and divided between my sons when we pass. This "bill" is an ex post facto attack on my property rights.

For Democrats who are dancing on the graves of Newtown, it's not about safety, it's about gun control.

Soon the propaganda organ known as the media will start regurgitating Democrat propaganda that pooh-poohs these examples saying that the NRA is wicked, right-wing gun-nuts don't wish to solve problems and if we really want to see what's in the Democrat gun bills, well, we'll just have to pass it first to see what's in it.

Doesn’t matter what the law is. If they can invent a charge, they will prosecute you on it.

This does not stand a chance in hell of passing. But, I say bring it to a vote without changing a single word or comma. Make them go on record supporting this monstrosity and then shove it back in their faces on election day. Looney lefites from solid left districts will easily win reelection, but the so called moderates will not.

This nonsense is for the Brady bunch, Bloomboob, etc. I doubt even Chuck U expects a vote on it. Chuck U recruited so called moderates for the Senate in 2006! He was the boss of the rat senatorial campaign committee then and maybe in 2008. That was part of their strategy to take over Congress. Chuck U recruited prolife Bob Casey for PA in 2006. Reid won't let this bill have a vote if he thinks it can pass the Senate because it's DOA in the House.

Exactly. I live in a community property state, which means we both have title to any and all possessions we have accumulated. How do these morons intend to get around that?

Every sheriff should do a background check on all local politicians. You never know what the political scum are hiding. Then bust ‘em.

The law is not being enacted for the purpose of being complied with. It is being enacted to be violated.

There will be lots of new felons now as most people will completely ignore this joke of a law.

your great grand daddy's shotgun, handed down through the generations is now state property, and you are an enemy of the state if you give it to your son...

They SAID abortion should be safe, legal and RARE:

What tracking mechanism is there to make sure or even KNOW if it is rare...?

Why aren’t records kept? I mean very confidentially, of course.

But this way we could live up to what was said; permanent records would be kept, and technically they would be the property of the government. And they would be audited, the better to assure that abortion is safe and rare, as advocates said many, many times.

This will please them, and we’d name the auditing group BATF, which would be some acronym starting with “baby”.

"Or perhaps the woman is in a same-sex civil union"WTF?

from the article...

You can make a “bona fide gift” (but not a three-hour loan) to certain close family members, not including aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, in-laws, or civil-union partners.

chuck u and blooomers HATE QUEERS... just sayin...
