it would raise the federal minimum age to purchase a firearm from 18 to 21; mandate universal background checks to purchase firearms; institute a waiting period for all gun purchases; and ban "assault weapons.
It isn’t supposed to. It’s a power grab for more control and has nothing to do with actual crime.
They aren’t even trying to hide it any more.
Just from reading 2nd A....it would seem like the 28th would go directly against it, so it’d be a problem for any court to handle.
Not sure if more background checks really accomplish more safety.
On age...if 18, 19, and 20 are out....why is 21 ‘special’? Same logic would dictate that military shouldn’t recruit anyone but 21 and over, if this is a rational argument (which it isn’t).
Getting it passed (as is)? Might pass via 8 states...remainder are going to ask for a dozen changes, and I doubt if you ever get past 20 states supporting this.
Perhaps the better way to engage on this...make the 28th about loss of rights and mandated mental-asylum stays...if you are regarded as ‘dangerous’. You know...like losing your voting rights, or being denied driving privilege’s.
“Assault weapons” will mean anything that they want.
… real issues …
I disagree in that I believe it DOES address the Democrats real issues. Namely a step on the way to total civilian disarmament. In the words of the late and unlamented ex mayor of Atlanta, Maynard Jackson, “We want a country where only the police and military are armed.”
You cannot reason with Democrats. You cannot bargain with them. Their desire to render us completely defenseless is rooted in their end goal. They will work tirelessly to establish a totalitarian police state that will make North Korea look like it’s run by libertarians. And firearms in the hands of citizens are the primary impediment to this twisted dream.
