Democrat’s Proposal Will Force Gun Owners to Store Assault Weapons At Government Approved Storage Depots

Massachusetts State Rep. David P. Linsky and Barack Obama

Massachusetts State Representative David Linsky has filed a new bill that would force gun owners to undergo mental health background checks, pay an additional 25% tax on all forms of ammunition, and require firearms categorized as “assault weapons” to be stored outside of their homes at government approved sites.
Natick Patch reported, via Black Listed News:

“This bill is a comprehensive effort to reduce all types of gun violence – murders, intentional shootings, accidental shootings and suicides. There is not one solution to reducing gun violence – we can’t eliminate it – but there are a lot of common-sense steps that we can take to significantly reduce the everyday tragedy of gun violence and deaths,” said Linsky…

…“I have spoken with hundreds of people over the past few weeks in developing this legislation – victims, police officers, criminologists, physicians, and yes – gun owners and sportsmen,” stated Linsky. “There are a lot of good ideas out there. We should all have one goal – reducing gun violence and trying to keep more tragedies from happening.”

Provisions in the bill include:

That way if someone breaks in your house, all you have to do is run down to the local gun storage facility to get your guns.
It makes perfect sense.

****and require firearms categorized as “assault weapons” to be stored outside of their homes at government approved sites.***

I believe this was done twice. Once, in 1775, the Brits tried to seize the armory and got shot up.

The second was at Faneuil Hall Boston, the Brits then seized the arms and refused to return them.

http://www.bostonteapartyship.com/faneuil-hall

Following the first shots of the American Revolution at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, on April 27, the military governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay and commander-in-chief of all British forces in North America, General Thomas Gage, ordered all firearms owned by the Boston citizenry stored in Faneuil Hall.

On April 27, “1778 fire arms, 634 pistols, 973 bayonets and 38 blunderbusses” were received, properly labeled with the names of the owners, and sorted for storage at Faneuil Hall. Gage promised the weapons would be returned to their owners “at a suitable time”.

Gage feared an attack on Boston was imminent and feared the civilian populace would join in the resistance, confronting him with an inner and outer enemy.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

What makes you think any place else wants them. The only use the rest of the world has for them is to undermine the USA.

This violates the "keep" part of "keep and bear arms," doesn't it?

pay an additional 25% tax on all forms of ammunition...

Hmmm... smells like a poll tax!

and require firearms categorized as “assault weapons” to be stored outside of their homes at government approved sites.

What part about "keep and bear arms" is too difficult for liberals to understand?

I will fight back first and I am not kidding.

Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?

The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

Yeah and guess who will determine if you are mentally stable enough o own a gun? Yes you guessed the government doctors under Obamacare’s thumb. Can people not see the writing on the wall and where this is headed if the naive libtards get their way. They may have to learn this lesson the hard way. Seeing plenty of libtards suffering from their own stupid choices would be priceless. Like they think 0bama really gives a $hit about them.

Moscow fell, for example, not from a lack of weapons to defend it, but from the lying guile of the Reds. Ten thousand Reds took Moscow and were opposed only by some few hundreds of officer cadets and their instructors. Even then the battle was fierce and losses high. However, in the city alone, at that time, lived over 30,000 military officers (both active and retired), all with their own issued weapons and ammunition, plus tens of thousands of other citizens who were armed. The Soviets promised to leave them all alone if they did not intervene. They did not and for that were asked afterwards to come register themselves and their weapons: where they were promptly shot…"

How about a mental health background check on legislators?
Seems like some really goofy SOBs have gotten elected lately.

Noteworthy depots, like in Lexington and Concord. Then, some despot thought he’d seize them...
