And the worst part isn’t the background check. REad the section on transportation:
I’m no lawyer, but it seems like this section means that driving across state lines with your side arm holstered would be outlawed. Beyond that, the definition of transportation includes stopping for lodging. So if I stop in Ohio overnight on my way to NC, I can’t load my gun and have it in my room with me. It has to be unloaded, locked, and inaccessible. What does that have to do with shooting kids in a school. But oh, we need this bill to honor the memory of those Newtown kids. What a crock.
And it says that they need probable cause to arrest you for a violation of this law, but most state databases have a list of the CPL holders, so that would probably constitute probable cause for a search. And in any case if pulled over most states require a CPL holder to declare himself as such during a traffic stop, probably also enough to warrant a search.
Look at some of the crap in the senate gun COMPROMISE bill the republicans agreed on:

What a lovely list of BS. I assume the feds will insist that local law enforcement ENFORCE this FEDERAL mandate....you know like they insist that local law enforcement ENFORCE federal immigration law....oops! ....nevermind.
That’s definately bad but the worste part of the bill is the mental health evaluation requirements- This doesn’t mean that a perosn will undergo a mental health evaluation in person if they own a gun- this means, just like in ny- that someoen will sequester a person’s medical records, OR a nurse or doctor will INFORM the govenrment that a patient of theirs in or was on anti-anxiety, anit-depressents, - anti-psychotic druigs at soem point in their lives, and the police will be forced to go and confiscate guns fro mthat person WITHOUT DUE PROCESS and WITHOUT AN ACTUAL DIAGNOSIS that shows the person is actually dangerous to society- just takign hte meds now is enough to have you deemd unfit to own guns- It’s already happenign in NY and it WILL happen all over the ocutnry as these frigging traitorous republicans ‘compromise’ with the left and violte our constitutinal rights
There. That seems to be more understandable.
If that's the case, fund a plaque, and dump the rest of the bill.
