Pelosi indicated that new regulations might entail ... prohibitions on transporting some firearms across state lines.

Is this a new attack mode that the filthy Communists are going to try? Does that mean that you would only be able to purchase certain types of firearms if the manufacturer was located in your own state? That you could no longer purchase a firearm listed on gunbroker from a dealer or individual in another state? That if you moved from one state to another, or if you had residences in more than one state, you would be prohibited from taking your firearms with you? That you could not bring your firearms to a competition in another state? That you could not get your firearms repaired outside of your state?

These criminal idiots think that they can sell such an idea as a "common-sense" regulation to cut down on criminals purchasing guns in "free states" and transporting them for sale in "slave states" such as New York and New Jersey and California - but anybody with a modicum of intelligence should be able to understand that criminals who are already committing felonies will not be deterred by yet another law, and instead it will be the law-abiding citizens who will be restricted. Unfortunately, relying on a majority of Congress to be intelligent or possess common sense is a losing proposition...

Re:”Pelosi indicated that new regulations might entail ... prohibitions on transporting some firearms across state lines.”

The current War on Some Drugs can’t keep tons of drugs and millions of illegal aliens from crossing our southern border, and they think thay can somehow affect interstate movement of firearms. There won’t be enough prisons for all the folks who will ignore or circumvent such controls.

But of course, the point isn’t to be effective, it’s to mover closer to a further concession. When a socialist asks for a compromise, they are looking for concessions.

There’s future wealth to be made in this nonsense. The market will respond, even if it’s a black market.
