State Legislator to Propose Bill to Seize Guns From Some Owners

DES MOINES, Iowa -- As the president pushes Congress to pass gun control laws, Iowa State Representative Bruce Hunter (D) Des Moines is planning to propose gun control laws of his own.

"I agree with President Obama. If what we've done in the past hasn't gotten anything done it's time to make a political issue out of it," Hunter said. "Either put up or shut up but we need to do something."

By that, Hunter says he will push for universal background checks for all gun transfers, improved mental health care in Iowa, and when approved by a judge, gun seizures. "If a police officer or a family member knows that a person shouldn`t have a gun license or should have a gun taken away from them for whatever reason and can convince a judge of that, we have something in place where we can take a gun away from somebody," Hunter said.

Great idea!!!!!...start on the south side of Chicago, go through every home and apartment, every public housing facility should be meticulously searched behind every door and under every piece of furniture. Every person on the streets there should be stopped and frisked....any person with an illegal gun in public housing should be permanently banned from future public housing.....stop mollycoddeling the perps and the problems will rapidly disappear.

This idiot, with a name like Hunter, doesn’t know that what he is proposing already exists. He’s just too stupid to realize it.

Would someone wake this Democratic bastard up?

I guess this fascist wannabe would be upset if we turned in our ammunition to him, personally, one round at a time.

“Hunter says he will push for universal background checks for all gun transfers”

Yeah, because that’s worked so well in Colorado where 55 of 82 sheriff’s have refused to enforce that or any of the other unenforceable gun laws in this state, and where essentially everyone in the entire state have also completely ignored the laws as well, with zero actual evidence that a single person in Colorado has actually utilized a background check for an intra-state transfer.
