I think it's important to read this terrible bill.
It looks like another attempt to close the phony "Gun Show Loophole" (private sales). Lautenberg has another bill going after the phony loophole directly.
If it gets past the SEnate it won’t get past the Housee but we need to heads up all of our legislators.
Any bill with the names Lautenberg, Schumer, Fienstien, Boxer, on it, is going to be a pile of statist crap designed to infringe as much as possible on the rights of law-abiding citizens.
Elections have consequences. If the Tucson shooting had occured last fall, we’d be looking at this type of legislation. We need to compound our gains in 2012.
Heard about this also. Thank you for posting it. Don’t know how big of a shot it has of passing.
Our thanks go out to Chuck, Frank and Diane for this anti-Second Amendment bill just in time to energize our conservative, Constitution loving base. Especially as it is DOA due to our Republican majority in the House. It will be a good drum to beat for fund raising, too.
It needs oppositin anyway, in case the House decides to use it as a token in some deal.
“Any bill with the names Lautenberg, Schumer, Fienstien, Boxer, on it, is going to be a pile of statist crap”
Sounds like you know your history!
“Thank you for posting it.”
You are welcome. Sometimes I post a likk, but many don’t read it, so I thought I’d experiment and post the whole thing.
Notice also in the bill all the references to “interstate commerce” ... that is the hammer the Feds are going to beat us to death with. The government has successfully argued that even when commerce doesn’t cross state lines it can “effect” interstate commerce, and they therefore have a right to get their greasy mitts on it.
All in favor say *I* !!!!
Yes- probably because the House will insist that the bill include a Constitutional justification.
With a pee test before any vote on drugs or money, or once per week, whichever is sooner.
“It needs opposition anyway, in case the House decides to use it as a token in some deal.”
Yes you are right. Our two potted plant RINO’s Chambliss and Isakson always need direction. They are suckers for any Democratic compromise. They never saw an opportunity to cave in they didn’t like.
It’s interesting to me that the founding fathers thought you have a RIGHT to only one consumer product. It wasn’t horses(transportation), houses, clothing, or food. But that is the same consumer product the left wants regulated out of existence. Go figure.
Wicard v. Filburn is even more insidious than that; it posits that goods which are never entered into ANY market, whether purchase or trade/barter, fall under the Commerce Clause... that is to say that private property itself, something not technically a 'good', falls under such regulation.
My goodness, how many 2nd Amend. can this jackhole post in one day.
I’m waiting for the bill that declares that any attempt to introduce new legislation that restricts the 2nd Amendment will be treated as treason, punishable by death.
May be a long wait . . .

LOL — You’ve been looking at my proposed Constitutional Amendment, havent you?
The United States may not regulate, in any way, the ability of the Citizen to keep, bear, manufacture, buy and/or sell weapons. Any federal agent, employee, judge, justice, representative, or senator causing this amendment to be violated shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to death which shall be carried out one year from conviction; any and all appeals must be heard and decided prior to a year from the date of conviction.
Just imagine for a moment what that would do to the court-system. :D
