It already controls the food industry through import/export rules and agricultural subsidies. By locking up several million acres of range land in National Monuments and Parks .gov has impacted our supply of meat.

Don't forget the NAIS.

Now, lots of my gun nut friends are going to scream bloody murder at my notion that a fundamental right should be qualified by this kind of process ...

Yep.


Of course, I understand. The point is that they wouldn’t even dream of agreeing to this.

Sure, I propose a compromise, Nance. You vote it in and we vote you out. Pity you won’t be needing that private airliner anymore.

My brother took his own life with a gun. That the was just a tool, it could just as easily been an overdose.

Guns don’t kill people, people do, and no amount of nonsensical talk can change the truth. The knife problems in England prove this without a doubt.

Americans, regardless of race, creed, color, or gender had the Constitutionally guaranteed Freedom and Right to Keep and Bear Arms exactly many score-plus years and Amendments before they had the Constitutionally guaranteed Freedom and Right to Vote?

Think about that for a while.

Here is what Pelosi, Obama and the Dims are going to ram down our throats...

1. An expanded HR 45, gun owner licensing. All gun owners will have to have these licenses, even owners of facilimie weapons (AKA Airsoft and BB). Licenses will only be granted if the records of the applicant are clean (This includes misdemeanors from decades ago). Licenses will have high renewal fees ($100-300/yr). Licensees will be required to hold $1 million in liability insurance. Possession of otherwise permitted weapons (See #3) without license is a felony.

2. Ammunition accountability... All ammo will be required to be microstamped and will be taxed $1/round. All non stamped ammo will be required to be turned in or thrown away. Possession of non-marked ammo is a felony. This part of the act also bans “Cop Killer” bullets. Furthermore, this will require the gun to leave a microstamp of its own on the ammo. (BTW, this will also affect law enforcement and military ammunition stocks, as they will be required to have stamps of their own)

3. Expanded “Assault Weapons” ban— This includes most all semiauto rifles, anything that can be “Bump Fired”, Semiauto handguns, and Semi-auto shotguns. It also includes pump-action shotguns and “Sniper Rifles” AKA your deer rifle. The AWB will also require people with “Prebans” to register their guns as Machine Guns, and that the tax stamp will go up to $10,000 per weapon. If you can’t afford this, you have to turn the weapon in without compensation...

4. Expansion of the Lautenbach amendment: Removes “Domestic Violence” as disqualifier to gun ownership, inserts any misdemeanor as disqualifer... Anyone with a misdemeanor on their record will be prohibited from owning a firearm. This includes DUI and traffic offenses, and offenses decades ago.

Finally, all CCW permits will be voided. Also, all gun and ammo imports will be banned.

I don’t know why we should give a crap about what Nancy Pelosi thinks.
