Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- Anti-gun Sen. Charles Schumers staff is leaking out to the press the Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn is on the vergeof caving in and agreeing to a ban on private gun sales and requiring virtually every American to get the governments approval before exercising their constitutional right to become a gun owner.
According to The Washington Post (2/23/13), the remaining sticking point is Coburns reluctance to require a 4473 for every private transaction. Were this to occur, ATFs practice of going into gun stores and copying all the 4473′s a practice which has been documented by GOA would soon produce a national gun registry.
Schumers people have also let it be known that they may have Susan Collins (R-ME), John McCain (R-AZ), and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) in the bag. (Note to gun owners in these states: These Senators really need to hear from you!)
Lets assume, for the sake of argument, that the final version of the Schumer sell-out prohibits any paperwork from being kept on private gun sales.
Even then, the Schumer Sell-Out would still result in one out of seventeen legal gun purchases being permanently and illegally blocked.
According to scholar John Lott, 8% of all gun purchases are currently blocked by the FBI. But, according to a recent study by the Department of Justice, only 1.8% of the 8% are blocked because they are denied. That means that 6.2% are neither denied nor approved. However, because most gun sellers wont sell a firearm under these circumstances, even after three days, these legal gun purchasers are permanently denied their constitutional rights by bureaucratic fiat.

Of course. Just as many died during the Revolution, Civil War, WWI WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc..
It's NOT going to be pretty by any stretch of the imagination and IMO we should be OPENLY speaking of the consequences to what these rat-bastards are doing in Washington DC. If we remain silent, they keep infringing our liberties. The more we speak out on the consequences, the better our chances to avert a bloody confrontation (which IMO we're destined to have anyway.)
Just my .02 and I respect your opinion.
Peace.
