Probably DOA in the Senate and the juggeared marxist would veto it any way.

I agree with your entire position. But I also believe that in practice, we don’t have 2A rights. We have privileges that are doled out at the gov’t whim. Infringement seems to be the rule of the land. Even after Heller, go try to buy a gun in DC.
Gun control is like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

I’m an NRA member so I’ve read their position on this, but I re-read again just now. This phrase is what I think is a potential problem:
“only such rules and regulations as are necessary to carry out” the GCA’s provisions”....
It’s the camel’s nose under a tent and I don’t want the feds to further butt into anything. I don’t trust them an inch - there are not enough 2nd Amendment supporters. The recent SCOTUS decisions in our favor were 5/4 and that should scare everybody. Shoulda been 9/0. They overreach in every aspect of our lives right now. Beware the Trojan horse...they are not doing our side any favors.

Our problem is that we need our gov’t to guarantee and protect our 2A rights, but it is them who have trampled on our rights.

For the rest of us, let's pass this bill.
How about if we get our congresscritters to make a 'sense of Congress' declaration that the Supreme Court should rule in line with what the Constitution acually says?
Nonetheless, the fact is that Congress has usurped many powers not granted to them, and the Supreme Court has gone along with it. It's piling on another bad precedent to try to undo prior bad precedents - treating the symptoms rather than the disease - but it may be necessary.
As the saying goes: The US Constitution describes a wonderful form of government - far superior to the one we live under.

I opposed this on 10th Amendment grounds. Dont want the feds interfering in state issues at all......this will require them to have access to all the gun purchase/registration/CCW applications in all the states. None of their business. Concur. I'd have preferred to see states whose CCW licenses are ignored in other states deny recognition of the drivers' licenses and vehicle registrations of those nonreciprocating states in response, as is now being considered in a couple of the westgern states.
And don't kid yourself. The feds have copies of the CCW/CCH license holders in everry state that issues them. Every one.

It will die in the Senate if it isn’t voted down by a majority of BOTH parties.
Neither the Republicans or the Democrats want you to have the right to defend yourself s that makes you not dependent on government.
If you are not dependent on government you do not need politicians ,you don’t need politicians they lose power & that is what really motivates a politician not love of service to their fellow man.

Attempted poison pill for the bill the woman is a totalitarian & autocratic oligarch. She is also a supporter of the Occupy movement ,so that means that if she had her way there would reeducation camps & mass graves for those who did not agree with her.
