(National Sentinel) Style Not Substance: In what amounts to additional proof that the incoming Democratic majority in the House isnt really serious about helping lead the nation, the party of the donkey plans to introduce legislation to criminalize private sales of firearms.
As reported by far-Left Mother Jones, Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., is ready to do the bidding of several anti-gun groups after meeting with representatives from 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, among others.
He asked what those groups wanted and topping the list was the criminalization of private gun sales, as though that is the most pressing issue facing our country today.
As such, Thompson is planning to sponsor legislation that would require an FBI background check before Americans can purchase guns from friends, neighbors, co-workers, or other acquaintances.
In fact, Breitbart News added, the bill would even require a background check for a son before a father could give him a firearm as a gift.

More democrats = less freedom.
Every time.
It’s illegal for illegals to illegally enter the country too.
The DIMs/LIBs want to position everyone for the cattle cars to the “reeduction” camps. I don’t think so. What anti-Freedom losers. They ALL are pathetic scum.
Well since all our guns are at the bottom of the ocean I guess we can ignore all that.
Yep, to Hell with them.
You think you going to control me with laws?
Well you ain’t.
You can go ahead and give them your freedom.
Trade it for some goodies or something.
I’m going to keep mine.
All of it.
So, hypothetically of course, if someone has a non-regulated firearm and wants to sell the non-regulated firearm, just how would the liberals know about that sale?
F them. They can pass anything they want. I will ignore them. If they don’t know what people have they can’t do anything to them. Never let them know what you have, or if you have anything, or not.
They keep pushing and sooner or later enough people are going to say enough is enough.
“there is no government registration of firearms”
I’m pretty sure there are people working in government that have very complete lists of gun purchasers.
They want to ban private gun sales for one reason - it makes their lists incomplete.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
they cannot.
Hope they do. It will prove what we've been saying for a long time.
Means everyone could run background checks on anyone.
Beware unintended consequences.
Anyone who votes for such a thing should be immediately removed from office under the 14th amendment section 3
I’ll make my own mortar when civil war breaks out.
Oh, they are going to light that firecracker now.
Only it turns out to be a handheld sparkler. All show and dazzle but not a real serious sort of pyrotechnics.
Like so many of the Democrat initiatives, it will fall to the ground as a fine ash.
No, you’re a bad person because you don’t live in a large Malthusian Death Pit of a city.
But, you knew that, didn’t you?
#NotMyLaws
Right.
They don’t actually want to achieve gun control.
Fighting for it is too profitable.
Notice how they did nothing about it when controlling all 3 branches.
“Since there is no government registration of firearms such a law would be impossible to enforce”
Well, yes.
That’s the purpose of this silly law that would do nothing.
Even if the statute didn’t authorize a registry, they decide a registry was needed to “implement the purpose of the statute.”
And then they’d have a list.
And then they’d confiscate.
