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’re probably hoping it’ll get the Votes out of sheer habit on the part of the Swampsters.
Let’s hope someone reads it and alerts the Idiots.

Yep. We had a snipit over this, plus quartering of troops, excessive taxes, freedom of speech, press, religion, and right to gather in a public square. I recall that individual liberties and not bowing to the crown topped off our first revolution. Looks like they want another.
They claim to be confused by a comma.
The repuke establishments would enact this.
On the other hand, now we see why they’re attempting to destroy the DIY gun manufacturing scene.
whoa there cowboy...my post was to the idea of the of the law...not to you.....
“We are so screwed.”
I was thinking that very same thing yesterday. But you know what? I woke up today... and still felt the same way.
:(
“vaccine passports”
I think that is the cell door slamming shut.
Firearms might not be that much of a problem anymore. They just shut you off until you turn them in.
Now how to find all those ones we sold at flea markets over the years... that might not be so easy.
Y’all are truly FR treasures!
All laws that are repugnant to the US Constitution are null and void.
The only part not clear is the “mother may I”.
Remember, the ultimate goal is to make gun ownership “TOTALLY ILLEGAL” by any means. I have a very long memory of democrat stabs in the back on gun control.
From 1976.

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”

“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”

HCI, around 1984, suddenly made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed But they showed their hand. As a result all gun owners know we are always up against a stacked deck.
*******
And HERE IS how they will do it, one small step at a time.
And to think, in 1962 Thomas J Dodd and Emauell Cellar proposed the first federal law on common firearms.
1962; “We don’t want to take away your guns, we ONLY want to register handguns! Rifles and shotguns will not be affected”.
1964: “We only want to register all your guns, not ban them! Only Army surplus guns will be banned.”
1968: “We only want to register your guns, and ban “Saturday Night Specials” and small foreign handguns along with army surplus rifles!” (They got the ban on 5 shot army surplus rifles and handguns and small foreign pistols)
1970: “We only want to ban Saturday night specials! Large handguns and rifles will not be affected!”
1976: “We only want to ban all handguns! Long guns will not be affected!”
1981: “The NRA is a rifle organization! They should give up their handguns, and they can keep their rifles!”- Lee Grant on GMA
1984: “We must ban “assault Rifles, unsuitable or hunting!”
1989: George Bush bans import of some foreign made “assault rifles”.
1992: Assault rifle ban passed by Clinton.
2000: first calls to ban single shot .50 cal rifles...
2012 calls for MORE bans on semi auto rifles and handguns. If you can’t ban them then go after ammo limits, the magazines and styles of the stocks.
And so it continues.
Hahaha...get out the popcorn! 🦒🍿
They have to know who has what first and if anything was purchased between private citizens, meaning no 4473 was involved, which is still legal in several states, they know nearly nothing especially if ammo purchases were done with cash.
There won’t be a rebellion. Count on it.
“They aren’t giving up control this time I can feel it.”
Tell us, swami, which horse will win the third race at Arlington next Saturday.
Well Covid did prove that, but if a true real Black Swan Event happened, I seriously doubt evil fedguv would be able to control the chaos they initiated.
Sri Lanka times 10 is what will possibly happen.
Makes me mad enough to retrieve some of the guns I lost in the river
2nd Amendment: What am I to you,chopped liver.🙄
Maybe they can get a voter ID at the same time . .
OMG!!!!
Fat 400-lb, 50-IQ, affirmative action, potato-chip-eating bureaucratic slobs with no combat training and who don’t know which bathroom to use are coming to take away our guns.
The horror!
