A parody in the voice of Sen. Chuck Schumer:
Gun owners, do you struggle with an addictive urge to buy firearms on the fly while goose-stepping through gun shows and pawn shops? If so, my fellow Democrats will happily relieve you of all your guilt … and your guns. Forget wasting time plugging silhouettes of bad guys with bullets – blast your addiction publicly on social media by plugging these two pending Track 'n Grab gun bills:
The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) Data Integrity Act would amend my original Brady Bill. Sponsored by my partner in crime, Rep. Jimmy "the Gun Grabber" Panetta, D-Calif., his H.R. 5949 will put a contract hit out on the Second Amendment.
The Brady Bill originally had a five-day cooling-off period to delay or deny trigger-happy, gun-totin' wannabes from getting their hands on a pistol. Unfortunately, my carefully crafted waiting period was castrated to about 30 seconds by a Republican amendment when NICS went online 20 years ago.
Panetta's H.R. 5949 could skyrocket the 30-second insta-check to 30 days, or as the bill states, "as long as necessary to determine whether receipt of a firearm would violate" federal or state law. In other words, Uncle Sam could then drag his feet to slow down emotionally unstable and impatient gun buyers until their background eligibility is verified.
H.R. 5917 – The Gun Records Restoration and Preservation Act repeals the "requirement to destroy instant criminal background check records" and will save personal, "identifying information," which we hope will eventually populate our proposed national gun registry. Cars have been used as lethal weapons as have guns, so why not require registration, licensing and insurance for both?

...addictive urge to buy... used to be guitars, now guns:-)
Bush League Republican, Texas seems to be full of them.
The only good news is that the 20% compliance is likely to come from Dems....
That's not all:

“Cars have been used as lethal weapons as have guns, so why not require registration, licensing and insurance for both?”
Sorry, I don’t see cars mentioned anywhere in the constitution.
Sadly, most, if not all pawn shops know the value of the guitars now. :-)
Silly. It’s right over there next to abortions, equal pay, reparations and a host of other stuff you obviously missed.

I need new glasses.
Chuck should be aware that the compliance to the NY Safe Act was about 2-3%. The gun industry’s figures say about 1.5 million of the guns in question were sold in NY State. Only about 30K registered about 44K firearms. That by any measure shows that even in a liberal state like NY, this isn’t going to work. The dems seem to have real trouble facing reality.

Cars are right next to abortions.
You need a car to drive to the abortion.
Or to get pregnant in the back seat of.
I wouldn’t mind if guns were treated like cars. I don’t need a drivers licence to purchase a car (only to drive it on public ways). I don’t need to register it or have it inspected(again only if I want to drive it on public ways). I don’t need proof of insurance to buy a car. I don’t need to pay a special tax and submit to a FBI background check to buy a “fully automatic” car. I don’t need to pay a special tax and submit to a FBI background check to buy a “silenced” car. In fact there isn’t a background check to buy a car at all, unless you consider a credit check to be a background check, but even then if I buy it in cash there isn’t one of those either. I’m pretty sure they don’t actually want guns to be treated like cars. They just want to ignore the constitution and come up with illogical and deceptive reason why it’s ok for them to it.

Guns like cars . . .
OK, I’ll schedule an oil change and cylinder rotation.
I wonder what the CAFE is for a gun? Corporate Average Firing Efficiency?
Oh, don’t purchase your car with cash over $10,000. That is tracked.
I don’t have any over $10K guns.
(Recovery from deep water may be over $10K, however.)
