Also, no information on what was transferred or even whether the transfer ultimately occurred is provided to the government. The only record of the transfer is the hard-copy Form 4473 retained by the FFL

Section 29 identifies the make, model, and serial number of the firearm. The hard copy is retained by the FFL, and a simple law could easily be passed to turn them in. This would happen prior to a big confiscation.

“What we can’t do is fail to pass something.”


That is a perfect example of what’s wrong with turtle boy.

We REALLY need better Republican Senators and a new Majority Leader.

They’ve had it written for 25 years at least.

It’s undoubtedly a wish list they knew would never be signed by a democrat president because the right wing would never allow that.

Heard some Democrap liberal complaining that earlier this week PDJT was on the phone with Wayne LaPierre.

Leaving the NRA’s troubles aside, that’s a good sign.

McConnell must be royally P.O.’d about protesters surrounding his house & making death threats. He MIGHT just send up one fatally flawed gun bill after another so PDJT can knock it back into the Senate for a re-do.

Mitch is not going to sacrifice his self-interest to the fury of the moment. He loves telling Chuckie Schumer to stick it just as much as each of us would if we ever confronted that slithering snake.

I’m still waiting for a proponent of private sale background checks to show me the Constitutional authority granted the feral government to require that citizens get goobermental permission to sell Constitutionally protected private property in a intrastate sale.

Records of a passed NICS check must be destroyed 24 hours later,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s cute that you actually believe they are doing this.

Universal intergalactic background checks.

What they really want is to outlaw private sales.

Currently you can now sell or even give or lend a gun to a friend, relative or neighbor.

They want a background check and paperwork on every one of those..

I’m so done with Republicans. The 2nd Amendment is the only issue that matters and must be protected at all costs.

Now, we have no representation.

That’s exactly what I mean by “will lead to.” That, and the fact that “universal background checks” without a registry is like Obamacare without an individual mandate. Entirely unworkable. Ultimately, the seizure and compilation of 4473s into a database will be urged as a “fix.”

He responds to Democrats and ignores Americans.

They have failed to secure the border since they promised they would in 1986.

IIRC the toon adminstration was caught making every NICS check fail the first time ensuring there was a record of all of them. OR making a copy of the database on to other media prior to the 24hr expiry. It’s been 20+years since this was in the news and of course it’s nowhere to be found on the net. Do you remember this? Wayyyyyy back in the 90’s...

There are plenty of laws already on the books. If those were followed by state and local jurisdictions, this wouldn’t be a federal issue. Example: the gross negligence by the Broward County sheriff and his staff.e

Don’t these morons realize that red flag laws will make it less likely that people will seek help for mental or emotional problems? Who is going to go to a counselor or psychiatrist if he knows that SWAT may break into his house in the middle of the night? As usual, every time government tries to help, it makes things far worse.

If you know anyone who works as a mental health professional, point this out to them and urge them to contact their senators and representatives.

Before leisurely taking away citizens freedoms we need to examine the causes behind these shootings and what is wrong with our society and especially young people.

Our military has fought and lost hundreds of thousands of lives defending our freedoms. We can not afford to give up our freedoms to leftists from Hollywood and Rusia. These are our freedoms and once lost will never be recovered.
