Democratic Senators have introduced new gun control legislation that would, among other things, institute a federal license requirement to buy a gun.
Democratic New Jersey Senators Bod Menendez and Cory Booker, and Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal introduced the “Federal Firearm Licensing Act” Thursday. The bill would institute a requirement for gun purchasers to obtain a firearms license through the Department of Justice before buying or receiving a gun.
The text of the bill states in part:
[It] shall be unlawful for any individual to purchase or receive a firearm unless the individual has a valid Federal firearm license.
The bill then outlines the procedure for establishing the license under the Department of Justice, directing the attorney general to establish a system for issuing them. In order to be eligible to obtain the license itself, a prospective licensee must first complete a firearms safety course, which includes “a written test, to demonstrate knowledge of applicable firearms laws; and hands-on testing, including firing testing, to demonstrate safe use and sufficient accuracy of a firearm.” After that, the licensee must pass a federal background check and a criminal history; submit proof of identification; fingerprints; and information about the firearm the licensee intends to buy or obtain, including “make, model, and serial number, and the identity of the firearm seller or transferor.”

The second Amendment covers that!
how about district attorneys and judges enforce already existing laws and put those who selfishly break them away for a long time
When do you suppose death penalty legislation will be proposed for individually possessing firearms without government permission?
I assert that no individual right, freedom, or liberty exists that the prostituted Democrat party will not brazenly violate, or employ abuse to, to achieve an intended result.
All the more reason to pointedly deny compliance with their assault on our Constitutional rights, that would otherwise be prompted in our deference to due process.
That gun ban scenario belongs with other post due-process breach possibilities.
You're right, not a sustainable plan but I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees. I hate to think fellow Americans would move against their friends and neighbors, maybe that's what the Cartel soldiers we are importing are for.
Buy your guns NOW!!!
Maybe the left has some sacrificial lambs willing to act in order to keep guns in the news.
Is it just me or does it seem like all of a sudden we're getting mass shootings every week? ORCHESTRATED? The very last thing Marxist/Communist do is take the civilians weapons, then that renders them helpless against tyranny. Do NOT comply. I'm sure all the criminals, crooks and thieves won't be compling. KEEP YOUR GUNS.
Enough is enough - these de"mock"rats have to be defeated. This is another useless waste of money by the de"mock"rats. Try following the laws we have. And here is another hint - criminals don't care about either the law or licensing. Is there even one intelligent de"mock"rat. I certainly do not think so.
Of course!!!
Good luck dummies. Read the Constitution, if you can read. New York, Illinois, and California have the strictest gun laws in the nation now. What good does it do when you do not catch the shooters and put them in prison? These three states have over 80% of all gun-related killings. States with open carry, concealed carry, and no carry have the lowest gun-related crimes. They don't realize that guns do not kill people, people kill people with a gun. I can lay a machine gun, loaded in the middle of time square. That gun will kill no one. If a person picks it up and uses it, that is the person's fault, not the guns.
