Democrats Demand Bill With Gun Confiscations, Expanded Background Checks
Washington Times ^ | March 1, 2018

Posted on 03/01/2018 7:42:15 PM PST by Helicondelta

Senate Democrats offered their ante Thursday in the renewed gun control debate, saying any bill must expand background checks and allow court-ordered gun confiscations while demanding a vote on a semi-automatic rifle ban

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer of New York said his Democratic caucus is prepared to provide a “very large” number of votes for those priorities.

“This is what we think should be done. This is the right thing to do” Mr. Schumer said.

If the data is bad, and it is, background checks are useless, expensive to manage and are a burden to the law abiding. Those with evil intent will find a way around any system.

After Pres Trump’s comments yesterday I’m surprised they are not demanding full repeal of 2nd Amendment.

They have no intention of trying to repeal the 2nd Amendment. They want judges who will just rule that it doesn't apply because it is "out of date".

Same ***holes trying to confiscate guns are the same ***holes who refer to PRESIDENT Trump as Hitler. Those ***holes need to get a history book.

First off, hell no.

Secondly, I don’t ever want to hear from our side how there’s no time to add new legislation when this suddenly is the only topic being discussed with no prior plans to do so. The legislative calendar allows for whatever the legislature wants to do. No time constraints all of a sudden.

I can see the technocrats requiring physicians and psychiatrists to report psychiatric disorders to a database or those on psych medications.

What they could do is expand the controlled substance database to include psych drugs as class 5 controlled substances. Opioids, benzos, ADD drugs are already on there. Then, the background check could include this info.

I am absolutely opposed to this approach, and I think to safeguard privacy, we must prohibit law enforcement from having this info w/o subpoena. An a-hole like sessions would love this.

Does he rub his hands together with glee as DiFi did? The woman exhibited the joy of sex when hearing our President Trump speak of such things. Right up her ally. Perky is as Perky does.

And those judges will find out they’d better hunker down in deep bunkers.

I do not own a gun. I was planning to buy one with tax return money, but if they seriously entertain the idea of confiscation, 2016 will be the last year that I will have voted.
