Key Points

    House Democrats pass another bill to strengthen gun background checks.

    President Donald Trump has already pledged to veto the measure along with another the chamber approved Wednesday.

The House passed its second bill this week to strengthen gun background checks, in the biggest gun control push Congress has made in more than 20 years.

The Democratic-held chamber approved a plan Thursday to extend the background check review period to 10 days from three days. It passed in a 228-198 vote, as three Republicans backed it. A day earlier, the House cleared a measure to require checks for all firearms sales, including those purchased online and at gun shows.

President Donald Trump has promised to veto both proposals, arguing they would restrict the rights of gun owners. The legislation is unlikely to get through the GOP-controlled Senate.

Minority whip Scalise calls bills "step towards federalized gun registration"

https://wwl.radio.com/articles/house-passes-two-background-check-bills

“It is one more step towards federalized gun registration, and ultimately gun confiscation. That has been the intention of many of the people who are bringing this bill for a long time.”

The bill, called the Bipartisan Backgrounds Check Act of 2019, if the first of two bills focused on gun regulations this week to be passed through the house. A second bill, passed today, aims at extending the time to complete a background check before a gun sale can go through. Under current law, if a check isn’t finalized in three business days, the transaction can proceed automatically. Scalise says the two bills don’t sit well with him.

“They want true gun control, and this is the first step, and certainly not the last. We need to reject these two gun control bills.”

Congress has not passed a single piece of substantive federal gun control legislation in 25 years. We are sick and tired of thoughts and prayers and inaction and we will no longer tolerate gun violence in America by making it very clear on our ballots in the coming years.

During the vote on H.R. 8 yesterday afternoon, we met with various Senators to discuss our list of 26 gun control measures that will reduce gun homicides, gun suicides, unintentional shootings, mass shootings and gun injuries. We will continue to encourage all Members of Congress to introduce and pass the following gun control policies:

*Background checks on all gun sales

*Close the Charleston loophole or “delayed denial” where federally licensed dealers can sell guns if three business days pass without a verdict from the FBI

*Restrict and penalize firearm possession by or transfer to a person subject to a domestic violence protection order or a person (including dating partners) convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor

*Prohibit firearm sale or transfer to and receipt or possession by an individual who has: (1) been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor hate crime, or (2) received from any court an enhanced hate crime misdemeanor sentence

*Mandatory waiting period for gun purchases

*Red flag/gun violence restraining order/extreme risk protection order to temporarily prohibit an individual deemed by a judge to pose a danger to self or others, from purchasing or possessing firearms or ammunition and allow law enforcement to remove any firearms or ammunition already in the individual’s possession

*Handgun permitting, licensing, training, and registration

*Ban bump-fire stocks and other dangerous accessories

*Ban future manufacture and sale of assault weapons, regulate existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act of 1934, and initiate a federal gun buyback program

*Limits on high capacity magazines

*Prohibit open carry

*Make gun trafficking a federal crime

*Repeal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) to eliminate the corporate gun industry special protection from civil justice law that no other industry enjoys

*Fund government research on gun violence

*Child access prevention/safe storage requirement

*Provide resources for people with mental illness

*Microstamped code on each bullet that links it to a specific gun

*“Smart guns” with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) or biometric recognition (fingerprint) capability

*Limit gun purchases to one gun per month to reduce trafficking and straw purchases

*Require licensing for ammunition dealers

*Enhance accountability of federally licensed firearms dealers

*Digitize the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) gun records

*Raise the minimum age for gun purchases to 21

*Ban 3D and ghost guns

*Prohibit guns in schools and college campuses

*Report lost and stolen guns.”

The idiot Senate Republicans had better put the kibosh on this.
Will they...?

[Smokin Joe]

Here's my shopping list, Liberals!

Repeal the NFA of 1934.

Repeal the GCA of 1968.

Repeal The Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 provision (Hughes Amendment) which made new Class III firearms unobtainable for the average person.

THat's just a start to removing the unconstitutional infringements on the RKBA.

Since it only requires the OPINION of ANY judge,that one right there is the total gun control and confiscation the left has been dreaming of all their lives. They will never admit it,but even THEY know that the people will never voluntarily vote for communism,so the final moves MUST be them taking over control using their tame police and judges. Once they have total control,they will be free to dictate anything they want,and there will be no one with any power to stand against them.

With communists,it is NEVER what they want to do for YOU,it's all about what they want to do for THEM,and TO you if you get in their way.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

This is how you get Trump and not the 'conservative of your dreams.'

They took the House with 2 openly Jew Hating Bigots and an airhead Communist, an away they go!
