Short version ...

1. A centralized firearm registry is a giant step towards eventual gun confiscation from law-abiding Americans. The information that gun owners must provide to the federal government includes the make, model, and serial number of the firearm, the identity of the owner of the firearm, the date the firearm was acquired by the owner, and where the firearm is or will be stored. Sales, gifts, or even loans of one’s firearm or ammunition must be reported to the Attorney General.

This is the basic information included on ATF Form 4473, except for where the firearm will be stored. All firearms that have been privately transferred (sold/ leased/ loaned/ gifted/ bequeathed> since the original Form 4473 was filed will be mandated to be registered. If the bill passes, the proverbial fan will be turned onto "high".

2. The broad licensing provision requires the license applicant to successfully complete at least 24 hours of training, certified by the Attorney General, in the use, safety, and storage of firearms. In order to get a license to possess a firearm or ammunition one has to go through and pass “a psychological evaluation.”. The psychologist must be approved by the Attorney General and the evaluation must be conducted in compliance with standards established by the Attorney General.

3. If the individual makes it through the psychological evaluation, he or she must have a firearm insurance policy issued by the Attorney General for a fee of $800.

4. Violations of the Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act can mean as much as 25 years in prison and a fine of as much as $150,000.

I think they’re waiting for a mass shooting to take action on this bill.

[Regulator]

“...sall not be infringed...”

[Nachoman]

Bite me.

[montag813]

The psychologist must be approved by the Attorney General and the evaluation must be conducted in compliance with standards established by the Attorney General

So the "Attorney General" is now the chief medical/mental health officer as well.

There ought to be a harsh penalty for introducing useless legislation that wastes time. That’d shut them up for a bit!

[progunner]

If this draconian bill passes you can take to the bank that CWII will soon be necessary to preserve the Constitution. These democrats have to see this action brewing because of their actions since Adolph (Biden) was sworn in.

[Vendome]

Do they have the ability to Gage Howe this will turn out?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

**A centralized firearm registry ***

The same thing the Dems have been screaming for since 1962. Guaranteed to stop all crime, again.

Registration ALWAYS leads to confiscation.

[Veggie Todd]

In before the first boating accident post. That’s how I lost my guns.

[Salvavida]

I’ll take the 25 years. If I can’t live as a free man, might as well not live at all.

Rather than the feckless NRA to defend the Second Amendment, I suspect that the Democrats will take a smaller bite and serve us better than the NRA because they would rather have the issue.

The fake “science” of psychology has long been intended to be a hook for totalitarianism since it’s as malleable as hot lead.

It has long been settled law that a law which violates the constitution is void, from it's inception, and is as if it was never written. This is a bedrock principle of American law, and has been since the founding of this country. In light of the Heller decision, any gun control law will face strict scrutiny.

“A law repugnant to the Constitution is void. An act of Congress repugnant to the Constitution cannot become a law. The Constitution supersedes all other laws and the individual’s rights shall be liberally enforced in favor of him, the clearly intended and expressly designated beneficiary.” –Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803)

“An unconstitutional law is void and is as no law. An offense created by it is not crime. A conviction under it is not merely erroneous but isillegal and void and cannot be used as a legal cause of imprisonment.” – Ex parte Siebold, 100 U.S. 371 (1879)

“An unconstitutional act is not law. It confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office. It is, in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.” – Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425 (1886)

“Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule-making or legislation which would abrogate them.” –Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966)

I’d support all that if they also applied it to voting.

[Herakles]

Only if the Secret Service, the armed forces, and all police disarm first, and even not then!

Remember, they are not coming for the guns and ammo, they are coming for your family!

[metmom]

Interesting that it’s named after a muslim.

Like there aren’t enough others who get killed by firearms to choose a name from.

I guess they forgot about the 2nd amendment.

I sure hope the wussy republicans find some manhood and fight this tooth and nail.

[Nateman]

The Democrats will learn, the hard way, that the first revolution went hot after the British tried to take American guns.

[PGalt]

Do not bare your arms. It’s cold out. Only 13 degrees in southeastern michigan this early morning.

[nonliberal]

It’s not going to pass.
