Senate Democrats on Thursday introduced an ambitious new gun control legislation that would require all Americans to obtain a Department of Justice (DOJ) license with a 5-year limit before purchasing a single gun. The new bill would also give the government the power to confiscate guns if the license is revoked.
This new legislation was introduced by Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn).
....... Snip........
The bill also authorizes “procedures to ensure that any firearm is removed from any individual when the individual’s license is revoked.” Confiscated firearms would only be returned to the owner if the license is reinstated.
The Attorney General could deny a license for numerous reasons, including if the applicant has a “history of drug or alcohol abuse,” has “any recent acquisition of firearms, ammunition, or other deadly weapons,” or has a “history of unsafe storage or handling of firearms.”
Additionally, the legislation would make it illegal for “any individual to sell or otherwise dispose of a firearm to a person” unless they report the exchange to the Attorney General.
Last month, Biden released a statement calling on Congress to pass gun control laws.

They’ll run out of confiscators before they run out of confiscatees.
Talk about a pure violation of the 2n amendment.
“Shall not be infringed”
Also translates to “Shall not be Frustrated”.
If they get away with this then their is no part of the constitution that is safe anymore.
And the license will have an ESG component.
This gun law is not fair to anyone who is not a complete nut!
It will never pass the 60 vote cloture rule in the Senate.
Existing firearms would be confiscated.
The bill also authorizes “procedures to ensure that any firearm is removed from any individual when the individual’s license is revoked.”
...license can be revoked if “any recent acquisition of ammunition...”
I imagine Phase II of this is to require a license to buy ammunition. One more reason to have a good supply of ammo and/or reloading supplies.
But it will be interesting to see how far it gets.
A very interesting concept. Take a page out of Uncle Sam’s “playbook”.
Shall not be abridged.
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
Infringed. Not abridged. Jeez….
It will never get beyond filing the bill.I don’t even see 50 votes to bring it up to discussion.
I’ve lived a good life. Better than I deserve. I won’t comply or submit.
“Infringe” is a word that needs guns to defend it.

Hey monkeypox and bird flu are here right on schedule
Among other things, yes. Yes they did.
Don't be a jackwagon.
I often say this: The guns I own today will be the guns I die with.... however, how I die is up to them.
I'd PREFER to die of old age on a bed surrounded by people who love me. But the alternative works, too.
Personally I'd prefer to be done in by jealous husband when I'm 108
But that would mean being a reseller of ChiCom sourced stuff.
