ATF is finalizing a rule to require background checks for people trying to buy some of the most dangerous weapons and other items through a trust, corporation, or other legal entity.

Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch has sent a letter to States highlighting the importance of receiving complete criminal history.

If you can legally own a firearm, you can legally own an NFA registered item provided you purchase the tax stamp. Not sure what this "rule" is all about.

THE TRUTH BEHIND GUN CONTROL

R.J. Erickson

“Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence... From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to ensure peace, security, and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable...The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference—they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.”
- George Washington.

WE NEED GOVERNMENT CONTROL, NOT GUN CONTROL! Tyrants have always loathed an armed people. GUN CONTROL KILLS. In the 20th century alone, there is undeniable evidence of the evils of gun control. Let history be proof:

“If you can legally own a firearm, you can legally own an NFA registered item provided you purchase the tax stamp.”

Not in some states, like NY. No NFA items allowed.

” Not sure what this “rule” is all about.”

IDK. It may be that trusts can be used to jointly own NFA items and maybe people can be added to the trust without background checks? Seems unlikely and in any case the number of crimes committed by NFA trustees are probably close to 0.

That's true.

Ohio recently became a shall issue state with regards to NFA items. There was a tenancy of the Chief LEO to refuse to sign the form 4. It was taken out of their hands.

In California, Delaware, Washington D.C., Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York or Rhode Island, the state legislatures have forbidden ownership of NFA items.Seems like if California can say nobody can own an NFA item, Ohio ought to be able to say "anybody" can own an NFA item provided they are in compliance with federal laws and federal laws do not prohibit ownership and, furthermore, defer to the states.

If it is legal for you to buy a handgun, and you live in a state that allows ownership, then it is probably legal for you to own a silencer. The basic requirements are as follows:

You must be at least 21 years old

You must live in a state that allows ownership

You must not have any felony convictions

The Administration is proposing a new $500 million investment to increase access to mental health care.

Two thoughts here.

1. If we take the shootings at face value and presume they aren't MK candidates (big if, IMO)the problem doesn't entirely seem to be access to medical care. The PROBLEM actually seems to be access to medical care and subsequent RXs for SSRIs and the like.

2. Most of these people should not be out walking around. They belong in institutions.

“The Social Security Administration has indicated that it will begin the rulemaking process to include information in the background check system “

But yet, that same Social Security agency will not share data with the actual person holding that number when that person’s identity is stolen and when it is being used by an illegal alien.

President Trump has vowed that on his first day in office, he will revoke this EO and every other unconstitutional EO issued by Obama. It would be even better if President Trump simply revoked ALL of Obama’s EOs with Trump Presidential EO #1, and then reissued any that actually might some merit.
