He knows he’s not going to be President or get this bill passed now. It’s a political strategy to get front runners to pick up HIS agenda in order to get his constituents.

I will add something to this. There is already a federal law that insures that our government does not create a gun or gun owner registry utilizing the NICS data or process.

The left had to support this law to get the support from the right when the NICS system was established.

So this gun license crap is already against federal law.

If the left retracts its commencement to no federal gun registration and no gun owner registration, then the right will literally “shoot down” anything they propose.

The left can read this as a great big F you. We realized what you were up to a long time ago.

Mr. Booker, an argument could be made that driving is a privilege, however, owning a firearm is a God-given, Constitutionally protected RIGHT. Please apply yourself and learn the difference between a RIGHT and a privilege. Jack@ss

The only reason for licenses is more money from the public.

It would take years to get all gun owners licensed. More years to do it again.

“driving a car is a privilege ”

The car is the modern horse. Do you think the founders considered riding a horse a privilege?

I agree with you on everything except this myth.

And, it’s licensed by the STATE, not the FEDS. Of course, there is also full 50-state reciprocity for them, too.

But, in the strictly libertarian view of things, even the ‘operator’s license’ is an infringement of personal freedoms.

No. The RKBA is not a privilege that can be taxed or denied.

Of course this would do NOTHING. But I hope some enterprising individual proposes an amendment to this bill for national carry if we were to put up with such an assault against the 2d Amendment.

If this libtard-stained midnight confession should ever happen, I am sure that the States would sue, as this oversteps their individual State Constitution.

That is very interesting, thanks for posting.
I always found it interesting that illegals get by driving with no license, insurance, etc., and even after getting stopped and some DUIs are back on the streets. Law abiding citizens don’t get away with that. Why would gun licenses be any different?

Our bill of rights grants us RIGHTS, it doesn’t suggest we have privileges.

GOD grants us RIGHTS, our Bill of Rights, enumerates them.

“Beto is a total, flaming, stupid asshole without any common sense.”

This is Booker’s idea, but the rest of your sentence applies to all the democrats.

When do us pleasantly plump need to get a license for a donut? Or will we be put on a red flag list?
