Gillibrand calls for assault weapon and large magazine bans to combat gun violence
Washington Examiner ^ | May 11, 2019 | Emily Larsen

Presidential candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said that she does not support creating a federal firearm licensing system.

“No, I think there is a better approach,” Gillibrand told the Washington Examiner at a campaign stop in Warner, N.H., on Saturday, when asked about a plan proposed by primary rival Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.

“To end gun violence, I would do three things,” she said. “I would, No. 1, pass universal background checks, which are commonsense and supported by 70% of America."

“I THINK what you outlined (passing from parent to son) is currently illegal...if found out.”

You may be correct in the no-longer free states of some parts of the US but that is certainly not universally true. There is certainly no federal requirement in this regard for non-NFA firearms.

She’s a perfect example of how ‘rats adapt. Just like how Al Gore was pro life before running for president.

When you get guns out of the CRIMINALS, Gillibrant, then we can talk...You’ll never get guns away from criminals, so I won’t be waiting to hand over my guns...

Depends on the state, currently.

In CA, in about 1 more generation, there will be no way for you to have a gun that is not in the registration system.

Illegal to smuggle in, and all inheritances will be via the state system (which catches all Grandpa’s WWII items).

Fed is not like that (yet).

When the socialists use “commonsense” it means infringement.

They have admitted it as much in internal correspojdence talking about strategy. Incremental disarming tactics.

She would be quite surprised at the damage which can be inflicted WITHOUT either 'assault weapons' or 'large magazines'.

It’s not illegal in free states for guns to be passed among family members, that may be illegal in communist states.

“One sure thing about the LIBs, the insanity lives on forever.”

Satan is immortal.

Barzun’s “Dawn to Decadence” shows this crap trying to crop up time after time for hundreds of years.

I don’t think Old Scratch has succeeded this well before, though.
