House Democrats Plan Push to Criminalize Private Gun Sales

House Democrats plan to introduce legislation criminalizing private gun sales once the new Congress is in session.

Mother Jones reports that Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) met with gun control groups that included the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Everytown for Gun Safety, the Center for American Progress, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, and Gabby Giffords’ group. He asked them what they wanted, and a bill to criminalize private gun sales was on their wish list.

So Thompson will sponsor legislation requiring a background check before someone may buy a gun from his neighbor, a co-worker to get a background check before buying a gun from a co-worker, and so forth. The bill will go so far as to require a son to get a background check before a father can give him a gun as a gift.

A lot of folks are already having their rights infringed on a the state level. Calvada/Nevafornia passed a law (s)election before last to do this but the writers screwed up. With the new folks in charge, it will probably get 'corrected'. Our new illustrious gov sisolack is big time anti-2nd. The state house is in dem control and the senate is one seat away from having a super majority. Anybody doing the line bets in vegas on this one?

This is what will prevent the dem majority from accomplishing anything: other, crazier democrats.

Making private sales illegal is really to create a registry so they know where all the guns are.

I see a lot of presidential vetos in the near future.

I doubt the Senate will stop all of Nancy’s hatred.

Of course, this is going no where. It's just a cheap election stunt for the Commie faithful. For us, all fodder for our retaking the House effort.

They’ll get it by him on a must pass bill to keep the gov open, or another shooting occures and the tear jerkers send Repubs scurring to vote for ANYTHING!

Exactly.

Which is why I believe a book or instruction manual on how to build your own CNC / 3d printer, mini-lathe and gun barrel machine along with plans for the home manufacturing of firearms ... would do well with the prepper / patriot community.

My so-called “Republican” congressman will probably support this travesty since he was endorsed by the Gabby Giffords Gun Grabbers. /spit

Never say never. I can envision some orchestrated events to influence public sentiment on this issue. It may sound tin foilish but never underestimate the Left.

Two years from now the democrats will run on the republicans being obstructionists because I got a feeling Nancy and company are going to be spinning their wheels.
