Send her and Piers Morgan to England in a leaky row boat. This bill is trash and any politician that votes for it should be serving their last term in office.

This woman reintroduces the old AWB year after year after year... after YEAR and it never goes anywhere.

The ONE TIME she has a chance at getting support for this bill, the one single solitary time in almost 10 years, she takes advantage of a horrible shooting and she dives off the deep end and comes up with something so unbelievably radical and insane, even the Senate will laugh it out of the room.

But the sneakiest part to me is that not only are new sales banned, but so are 'transfers'. When you die and leave your guns to your kids, that's a transfer of ownership. In other words, in one generation she would have every gun and magazine on the list in government hands. Since they were all registered, it wouldn't be hard to make criminals out of every kid who didn't turn them in.

I would gladly buy her a brand spanking new broom so she can fly off and hopefully take some of her cronies with her to some desolate island.

And then there's this bit:
•Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:
•Background check of owner and any transferee;

Why in the world would you need a background check for a transferee when they can not be transferred? Doesn't make too much sense to me.

I read that as a back ground check for every weapon sold, private sales requiring a ffl to handle it.

Yes the banning of private sales without an FFL and NICS check is something they are looking at. Here is the story I read on huff-post.

Did anyone else catch the part about the $200.00 per firearm tax for the so called "Gradndfathered in" weapons they want to ban just to have these guns surrendered to the government when you die as they wont be transfereable ??? Not on my watch Baba Louie ....
