President Joe Biden on Feb. 14 urged Congress to strengthen existing laws concerning gun ownership on the third anniversary of the mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida.
“The Parkland students and so many other young people across the country who have experienced gun violence are carrying forward the history of the American journey. It is a history written by young people in each generation who challenged prevailing dogma to demand a simple truth: we can do better. And we will,” Biden said in a statement.
“This Administration will not wait for the next mass shooting to heed that call. We will take action to end our epidemic of gun violence and make our schools and communities safer. Today, I am calling on Congress to enact commonsense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets.”
In the afternoon of Feb. 14, 2018, a man identified by authorities as Nikolas Cruz, now 22, walked into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland and opened fire with an AR-15 rifle. The shooting left 17 dead, including 14 students. Cruz, who is currently awaiting trial, could face the death penalty.
After the shooting, a number of Parkland students and parents began agitating for stricter gun control laws, arguing that Cruz shouldn’t have been able to obtain a gun. But others pointed to failures by law enforcement, including safety officer Scot Peterson, who has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges for not entering the school building to confront Cruz, and urged restraint on new measures.

They are not too worried about that. They can use the laws to collect the guns later when you actually use them for something.
It seems Joe Biden is following the Chinese model
Yes, the Democrats love walls and guns to protect themselves from American citizens
Xi = Grima Wormtongue
Xiden = Theoden
.
Trump = Aragorn
I hate the interns who write Joe's boilerplate pabulum with the heat of a million suns.
My Tagline. As it’s been for over 20 years now.
I have to agree. The “Conviction Seven” will stand with the GOP on this and many future issues, now that they aren’t “helping Trump”.
It will be a glorious new era of republican unity (mega-sarc)!
It’s worse than that. Notice the part about “all members of the public” below in regards to the database. And there are other elements of the bill that are worse than what you saw in that comment.
H.R. 127: Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act
https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/117/hr127/text
[Tiny Excerpt:]
“(3)Database
(A)In general
The Attorney General shall establish and maintain a database of all firearms registered pursuant to this subsection.
(B)Access
The Attorney General shall make the contents of the database accessible to all members of the public, all Federal, State, and local law enforcement authorities, all branches of the United States Armed Forces, and all State and local governments, as defined by the Bureau.”
And just in case you don't see that one, here's the link:

You should be able to copy it from there.
The executive actions proposed are, of course, illegal. Gun parts, including 80% receivers, do not meet the Federal definition of a firearm, and so are not subject to firearm laws. Period. Even some Federal circuits have noticed that a complete AR lower does not meet the Federal definition of a firearm.
I’m so tiawed.
For some reason, the pic does not show up in your post. When I was able to open it though.
Thanks for the link! That is a keeper!
So now we know why Congress remains an armed fortress...
The first laws you will see coming out of the gun control push will be based on income and class. Soon after, more laws will pass against the remainder, easily outnumbered by everyone previously deprived of their Second Amendment rights.
That’s one of the most effective tactics of incrementalism for ushering in socialism under a much more autocratic government. Oligarchs around the world have been putting enormous sums of money into it for a long time. They’re about to put much more into it. They’ve been planning to control much more autocratic and socialist governments.
Do you mean the darn fool has bumped into something he can't Executive Order himself out of?
Bingo!
The DemonRats have been pushing gun control for decades.
This is how it has been working out for them.
And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)
And it continues...
And there is more...
And more...
And yet more...
And more and more and...
We just keep buyin' more...
And we bought more more more...
And more and more and more...
Could it be? More?
More Americans buy more guns...
We just love guns...
Buy a gun, you'll be in Hogg Heaven!
Another month, another record!
Will the record breaking ever stop?
Looks like it will never stop.
KEEP FLAPPIN' YOUR LIPS, DEMONRATS! WE'LL BUY MILLIONS MORE. ;-)
I will not listen. The USMC shaped my thinking about firearms when I was 17, no way will I go back on that training.
