What Trump is considering, I can live with.

I still wish he'd stop passing more gun control than Obama.

The [P]resident is considering tougher penalties for straw buyers

The article does not display cutesy bracketing like that.

Do you mean to imply that Trump is ineligible or born in Kenyanesia or something?

And....

Back to the article discussion:

the death penalty for mass shooters, releasing troubled teenagers’ previously sealed records to the background-check database after they become adults and requiring the FBI to notify local authorities when a potential buyer fails a background check

Not a thing in these three items endanger gun ownership and the 2nd Amendment.

Of course, the DNCMedia will not be pleased until confiscation starts, but F them.

“Most Democrats consider them too weak. Most Republicans, long resistant to triggering their base or the gun lobby, fear Trump won’t push them forcefully enough — leaving them hanging.”

So basically, not because they are our servants - working for us and not ruling over us - but we’re pesky and unmanageable. Got it.

“prepares to”
“about to”
“considering”
“mulls”

This is not news. When it actually happens, it’s news.

From the article:The proposal from Chaffetz makes a lot of sense. The proposal from linda, not so much. Supposedly it contains a section that prohibits gun removal with out a judge's okay. But the devil is in the details.

Lindsey

Graham

Ping!

Want on or off Linda's fav ping list? Just FReepmail me.

Remember that linda is up for reelection in 2020. Remember also that linda is writing a Red Flag bill.

Trump has made illegal through EO things Obama declared legal through the legal process.

I choose to ignore stupid ****.

It’s just politics.

He should add universal concealed carriage to any bill.

Assertion: after a string of mass shootings this summer once again pushed the issue to the forefront in Washington.

More correct assertion:

After a cluster of mass public killings was created by media contagion, in order to push the gun control agenda.

I got a feeling that people are not going to like the new extended background checks when they learn what they consist of. And I doubt that because their purpose will be to prevent people from purchasing firearms that few will few will pass, but we shall see.

What Trump is really considering is whether or not he wants to be President in 2020.

If he passes ANY additional gun control measure no matter how big or small he might as well drop the rallies because he won't be reelected. Take that to the bank.

Any gun control measure will lose an additional 2-3 million votes on top of the half a million or more he has already lost due to the bump stock ban. Save the whinning about how bad the alternative is, blah blah blah. Politics does NOT work that way. 2-3 million will stay home and we will have a commie dem in 2020, guaranteed.

At this point he better shut his trap about more gun control or he may lose the election whether he actually passes anything or not. He is losing votes just talking about this nonsense.

2nd Amendment says you can ossess and carry arms, but it doesn’t say anything about right to buy them. Let’s amend the Constitution tomake sure that provision is included. Also right to give them and ship them without penalty across state borders.

Overall violent crime is down about 40% since the early 90s...

Obama at least gave us right to carry in National Parks. Reluctantly, as a freak rider on a must-pass credit card law, but nonetheless gave us a positive RKBA improvement.

All I’ve seen Republicans do for decades (on a national scale) is enact restrictions less fast than Democrats.

A President could do so very much with a single one-page Executive Order.
May I suggest:

EO paraphrase: as allowed under existing law, exempt all Selective Service registrants from NFA & 922(o). Direct TheCMP.org to sell new M4s thereto at cost + overhead. Address criminal misuse via military tribunal.

“The [P]resident is considering tougher penalties for straw buyers...”

He really should go after plastic bags first, they’re causing far more damage.

If I sell a firearm to someone, I wanna know the person buying my weapon is on the straight and narrow. I'd feel horrible if I sold a weapon to someone that turned around and shot a bunch of innocent folks. Yea...I'm good with having the ability to check the background of someone.

Do I want the federals keeping tabs? No. That said, if a loony toon was out there trying to obtain a weapon and I knew it...and that person hurt a bunch of innocent people, damn, my conscience would bother me forever.
