Sponsored by Cory Booker and Blumenthal.....read it carefully...... Although it may sound harmless to some liberals, this one is one step away from tyranny.

"The bill will make it “unlawful for any individual to purchase or receive a firearm unless the individual has a valid Federal firearms license.”

That’s big.

What’s needed to get the magic “license”? The US Attorney General will establish the system for issuing said permission slips, based on a number of shocking “S. 2449” mandates that ought to energize anyone who respects his neighbor’s right to self-defense, medical privacy, inheritance, private trade, and personal data."


Here's the bill:

Sounds like it basically locks things as they are now into place since you don't need said license to possess.

The totalitarian loons of today's far-left are at it again. Fortunately we have enough moderately sane people in the senate to stop this kind of childish temper tantrum.

Great idea. A lot of us have been buttonholing legislators to demand documentation of all transfers of any type of powder-actuated firearm, public or private.

Looks like they're starting to listen.

Must we repeat this over and over again?........I guess so.


Being a car owner is not covered in the Constitution......the ability to have arms is.

(2)Requirements
The system established under paragraph (1) shall require that—

(A)an individual shall be eligible to receive such a license if the individual—
(i)has completed training in firearms safety, including—
(I)a written test, to demonstrate knowledge of applicable firearms laws; and
(II)hands-on testing, including firing testing, to demonstrate safe use and sufficient accuracy of a firearm;
(ii)as part of the process for applying for such a license—
(I)has submitted to a background investigation and criminal history check of the individual;
(II)has submitted proof of identity;
(III)has submitted the fingerprints of the individual; and
(IV)has submitted identifying information on the firearm that the person intends to obtain, including the make, model, and serial number, and the identity of the firearm seller or transferor;

You have to get a license for every gun you buy?

States already do licenses, many of them anyway.

You need a license to own a firearm but don't need an ID to vote?

What's wrong with those people?
