The ‘safer communities act’ makes communities safe by disarming the law abiding citizens so that criminals won’t have to face any real resistance when they commit their crimes- /s

”Enhanced background checks for people 18 to 21“

And next year the perpetual drumbeat will be “close the over-21 loophole and apply more stringent background checks to all buyers! It’s common sense!”

What was the democrats compromise in this? Are silencers being removed from the NFA? National reprocity? Oh, democrats offered and compromised on nothing?The Republicans basically negotiated the democrats to take a few slices of bread instead of the whole loaf, despite the republicans having the power to keep the entire loaf of they chose. Typical loser party genius, handing the Dems a big win in an election year.

In response to the 80 pages of proposed legislation, I give to you 1 sentence:

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Should have stuck in a amendment to 21 for voting.

It is only fair, no right to firearms, no right to vote.

As I've said for 20 years or more the country won't let their kids get killed when in school.

The Texas law enforcement f+cked up so badly that they have lost a lot of credibility as advocates of guns protect people, they may be the most pro gun state out of Montana and I consider Texas my second home but ..dumbasses

I lost my weapons in a unfortunate boating accident several years ago, but I do see alot of people mostly younger guys doing open carry...geez don't be a dumbass...if you want to protect you community get concealed carry or...but don't be a target..if one is inclined they will take you out first...

I've lived about everywhere in the world and it amazes me that some think another American is their enemy. Par’d most of the world is our enemy, but they have been very effective of dividing America.

With the weapons I trust you know what to do, unfortunately I'm not sure that in todays world of this side or my side we have forgotten a nation divided can not stand...

This isn’t a gun safety bill... It’s 80 pages of comedy, political expediency and authoritarian BS.

More redundancy laws that do nothing but further hamstring/frustrate those who buy guns for self defense and protection against socialist anti-American idiot totalitarian communist legislators who want to disarm the citizenry and trash the constitution with a 1000 cuts of overreaching unconstitutional useless regulation.

The communists want to overthrow the Constitution by suffocating it with laws that make criminals out of anyone who dares to embrace its protections and exercise the rights it guarantees! Laws that encourage criminal behavior but punish those who obey the laws. Criminals are protected, while the innocent go to jail.

This one is interesting:

The legislation would suspend a person’s right to buy or possess a firearm for a period of at least five years if he or she is convicted of a misdemeanor crime of violence against a person with whom they have or have had a romantic relationship.

A current or former romantic partner would automatically regain the right to buy or own a firearm after a period of five years has elapsed from the end of their criminal sentence. Romantic or intimate partners who are convicted of a violent crime during that five-year waiting period would not automatically regain the right to buy or own a gun.

Can this be dialed up to the current domestic violence prohibition? Making it a five-year prohibition as well, instead of the current lifetime prohibition? Probably not but I'd sure like to see it.

They don’t enforce the laws already on the books. Hunter is still walking around free as a bird.

It’s surprising that it’s only 80 pages. Most legislation these days weighs in at a hefty 1000+ pages once it is loaded down with pork and unrelated agenda items that can’t get passed any other way.

If this country were truly filled with only Americans, then you’d have a point.

Maybe.

Would you walk around the average democrat run, urban hellhole and feel safe?

How do you then distinguish between true Americans, who you don’t need to fear, and urban “teens” and illegal enemy combatants who are flooding this country through the southern border?

How do you realistically trust someone these days considering the news we have been seeing on a daily basis? Heck, we can’t even trust the police to protect us any more. How do we trust the average stranger on the street?

This will require new background checks on everyone that buys a gun to make sure that you didn’t do anything wrong before you turned 18.

You better hope the records from 40-50 years ago are correct and up to date because they could be used to deny you a gun purchase.

Did everyone think this crap will only effect those 18-20 first time gun buyers? Dumbasses! This will effect EVERY gun sale from this time going forward.

It will take a lot of time to check old records from 50,60, 70 years ago.

While it is not everything we want, this legislation is urgently needed,” Schumer said in a statement...

Of course it isn't. Thanks for saying it out loud.

I'll wait for others to look at the bill and comment.
Early conclusions are often wrong.

Why can’t I buy a gun from a friend who has several firearms, if I can’t get a license to carry a weapon?

Notice that The Hill never provides the actual name or number of the bill, or a link to the text so that people can read it for themselves.

See the comment section is still defunked, too.
