We are awake.

You are preaching to the choir.

Who have you taken to the range to learn how to shoot?

I am not trying to be rude.

But this is the only way to educate low information voters.

Take someone hunting or to the range.

It works.

IS IT SATIRE OR IS IT FACT
Not clear if this if this is true or not but heard there is are a number of provisions in this proposed legislation which contains the following. These are found in pages 244, 357 and 756 respectively

Pages 244, paragraph 24, section 3, subsection 2, sentence 24 refers to previous legislation public law 16A 3.25 directing the Attorney General to enforce the purpose of gun bill to be equally applied and not just directed toward areas of known crimainal activity . Areas where there has been opposition to gun control reform should be suspected of infraction and be given special attention by the Attorney General ..

Page 357 Paragraph 2 sentence 6 Limits infrractions to firearms mentioned in the bill.(no hand guns) and makes no recomendation for stricter penalties for any criminal activity where hand guns are used.

Page 756 of billl paragraph 5 sub section 4 (et cetera et cetera) refers to public law which allows the Attorney gGneral to isolate questionable areas(declaration of martial law) known to be opposed to 2nd amendment changes and allow searches for suspected firearm violations after which there would be a similar isolation and sequestering of areas known for illegal activity to conduct house to house searches and seizures for weapons.

I’d like to know if this is true and what’s in this legislation

This is idiotic. Every single Senator that votes to move a bill forward without bothering to read and understand it should immediately step down. They are grossly negligent of their duties.

OK, chew on this one for a bit.

“Ammo must be transported in locked container vehicle or foot.....

2) transport ammunition for any lawful purpose from any place where the person may lawfully possess, carry, or transport the ammunition, to any other such place if, during the transportation-
“(A) the ammunition is not loaded into a firearm; and
“(B)(i) if the transportation is by motor vehicle-
“(I) the ammunition is not directly accessible from the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle; or
“(II) if the motor vehicle is without a compartment separate from the passenger compartment, the ammunition is in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console; or
“(ii) if the transportation is by other means, the ammunition is in a locked container.”

I am advised, there are numerous “add-on” amendments that will also be tied to the bill AFTER if has been approved. Fienstien of Cal. has something that will likely kill all gun ownership if/when what she is proposing is added.

This whole damn thing MUST BE DEFEATED! Call every one of your representatives to KILL THE BILL!!!!!!

Looking for some clarification on this mess. Saw last night on Hannity segment on this bill, that personal sales are excluded. Any truth to that?

Also, when these morons talk of background checks, do they mean the NICS checks?

Because, if personal sales are excluded and the background checks are indeed the NICS checks, then what in the hell is this bill all about? That stuff is already in place. I know everyone is talking about registration, etc, but the bill doesn’t solve any of the issues that they’ve been bringing up after Lanza.

Nothing but a bunch of Do-Nothing politicians, doing nothing.

Congress is no longer a body of representation of the people. It is a Marxist dictatorship that we no longer need.

It’s all a farce now. Has been since Obamacare was “deemed passed”.

You're right, this is a real, live demonstration of post-constitutional, totalitarian government.

They might be, but if you're a potential seller and want to find a potential buyer, how would you do that?

Any FFL is now required to NIC-check you, which puts you on the Illegal Secret National Registry that the FBI and ATF have been illegally building for 15-20 years now. Ditto any gun show operator or seller, if the bill passes.

They want you on the list, to kick your door in at midnight and take your firearms at gunpoint. It's that simple.

See #7. Imagine Pat Toomey on a yacht with Jue Machin, Chuck Schumer, Weiner #9 and a bunch of DC call girls, all the staterooms and living spaces bugged for sound and video, booze flowing, then predictably, the Rube was taken by the carnies at the county fair and both scalped and converted at the same time.

Makes me wonder if they or someone has the goods on Toomey.

I meant Joe above. Typo.

Don't worry, sometimes I've slipped and typed "Joe Mansion." B-P
