House Democrats plan to introduce legislation criminalizing private gun sales once the new Congress is in session.
Mother Jones reports that Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) met with gun control groups that included the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Everytown for Gun Safety, the Center for American Progress, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, and Gabby Giffords’ group. He asked them what they wanted, and a bill to criminalize private gun sales was on their wish list.
So Thompson will sponsor legislation requiring a background check before someone may buy a gun from his neighbor, a co-worker to get a background check before buying a gun from a co-worker, and so forth. The bill will go so far as to require a son to get a background check before a father can give him a gun as a gift.

Yep - it's their version of the House GOPe "repeal Obamacare" votes, while Reid ran the Senate.
I doubt it will ever make it to the floor for a vote. Too many new members from districts Trump won who ran as supposedly pro-2A. They won’t want to have to vote on it because it’s lose-lose for them. Either they alienate their base or the swing voters who elected them. And Pelosi knows that and doesn’t want to lose the House again in 2020, so she’ll keep it from a floor vote.
Correct.
What these policies do is show they can spit on the Constitution and force us to say we admire them for it.
It is all about showing they have the power to do what they want, that the Constitution is meaningless. That statement is more important to them than the actual guns.
They know guns will always be available for crime. They are too easy to make.
They want to make them illegal to show they are in charge and we have no ability to limit their power in any way. No matter what the Constitution says.

Might as well get used to at least two years of this crap.
Would it be too much to ask the RINOcrats to push to criminalize being a Demonicrat?
I lost all my firearms in a tragic boating accident.
To what end? Even if they were successful, what would it solve? This is what is wrong with democratic solutions to the gun problem. A law stopping me from buying a gun from my next door neighbor does only one thing. It causes me aggrevation in that the maneuvers I would have to go through to execute this transaction would just be an aggrevation to me. That seems to be what the democrats and anti-gunners are after, not the safety of the people.
It won’t change a thing butt they’ll FEEL awesome about themselves.
As far as I’m concerned, the democrats frauded the election results.
So I’m under ZERO obligation to comply with or obey ANYTHING they try to pass.
Aside from the fact that my 2nd Amendment right is non-negotiable in the first place...
“And then they will confiscate.”
Who is “they?”
“Citizens owning Guns has done nothing to stop them.”
Ain’t that the truth. There’s a schoolboard in every community in America. How is it possible that leftists have taken over the schools? Easy answer - so-called “conservatives” sit on their fat, useless butts and refuse to attend schoolboard meetings to guide education policies in their communities.
“...then they have a better ability to round up and confiscate.”
Who is “they?”
Two questions every Politician should be asked.
1. What parts of the United States Constitution do you disagree with?
2. If their answer is anything but “I have no disagreement with any part of the United States Constitution”, ask them how they can swear Allegiance to a document they disagree with?
Of course the one thing I would like every Politician to explain is what the phrase “Shall Not Be Infringed” means.
“...then they have a better ability to round up and confiscate.”
Who is “they?”
I did a variation of that with Senator Jon Kyle.
I asked him what he was going to do to uphold the Constitution, as the Lautenberg amendment was a clear violation of the ban on ex-post-facto laws in the Constitution.
He said it wasn't his job!
It was the Supreme Court's job to determine if a law was Constitutional or not, not his!
I reminded him he took an oath to defend and protect the Constitution.
If he lets others decide what the Constitution means, he is not upholding his oath, IMHO.
Short version, if your spouse or child is a felon, don't provide them a firearm. That's already illegal. Private sale, sell to a felon, that's a crime. Already.
