It is, in fact, the only legitimate gun law in the entire country.
I see the whole gun control agenda by the left as NOT a frontal assault on the Second Amendment, but by a much lower level assault using individual states’ own gun purchase/license laws against us.
The first substantive thing they can do is to modify the NICS system to include all sorts of new descriptors - health conditions, mental conditions, misdemeanor infractions, etc.
There are several possible avenues. The Federal Government (via EO, Memoranda, regulation or edict) could push down report-up to NICS by threatening to withhold funding grants, etc. Another option is through Obamacare. By regulation of HHS Director’s Discretion (all throughout the law), require all doctors, pharmacies, insurance companies to report all sorts of things - SSRI use, guns in home, doctors’ impressions of stability....
In effect then, NICS becomes the national tattletale clearing house who will kick back a “no recommend” to the gun dealer who will deny the purchase. Then later when the state and local authorities are properly conditions, the Fed will start pushing requirements down to them to confiscate based on ‘danger’.....
It’s coming folks.
Obama won’t even enforce existing laws.
