Gun control push - July 15, 2016 notes
CAN-DO-USA ^ | July 18, 2016 | Steve Schulin, America's Party

Posted on 07/18/2016 6:32:10 AM PDT by Steve Schulin

Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH-03) ... touts a bill, H.R. 1217, which is titled "The Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act", which she says "would expand the existing background check system to cover all commercial firearm sales." ...

She then touts another bill, H.R. 1076, which is titled "Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act", and is also known as "No Fly, No Buy". She says this bill "would allow the FBI to block gun sales to people on the terrorist watch list."...

She then touts another bill, H.R. 3051, which is titled "Background Check Completion Act". She says this bill "would require that a background check be completed before any gun sale proceeds". ...

She then touts another bill, H.R. 4603, which is titled "Hate Crimes Prevention Act", which she says "would ban the sale of firearms to those convicted of assaulting someone based on their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability." ...

She summarized these bills by saying "... we're not asking for a lot -- we are simply asking to save lives." I disagree. Asking to infringe on the right to keep bear arms IS asking for a lot, and may very well cost more lives than it would save. I note that she mourned the "loss of lives in Newtown, Aurora, Charleston, Orlando, and so many others", but she did not claim that any of the bills she touts would have saved a single life.

Better than violating the Constitution would be to allow gun owners to carry their weapons with them. The school in Newtown was a gun-free zone. The theater in Aurora was a gun-free zone. The church in Charleston was a gun-free zone. The club in Orlando was a gun-free zone.

Secret government lists that can deny you constitutionally protected civil rights without due process?

What could go wrong?

They are trying to say that anyone with a disability is mentally deficient and needs to give up their Second Amendment rights thus anyone on Social Security or VA care would be considered deficient without due process.

If Clintoon becomes our Potus, she will disarm us and make us like the poor guy below, running for his life! His crime, being a Trump supporter in San Jose earlier this year. He was run down by a Somali Islamic. The worthless Liberal San Jose Mayor and LaRaza police chief made sure their cops didn’t stop the violence against Trump supporters.

If they are “dangerous terrorists” then arrest them. Don’t use a secret government list. That’s not how America works (when Third Worlders aren’t in charge).

I’m so sick of people whose ancestry never even developed a written language telling us how to run a complex system like a government.
