Don’t forget about going after the firearms of law abiding citizens
(Breitbart) Democrats in the House and Senate are pushing firearm licensing and registration requirements.
The push is contained in legislation titled, “Blair Holt Firearm Owner Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2018.†It is being sponsored by Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) and Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL).
The text of the legislation says, “To provide for the implementation of a system of licensing for purchasers of certain firearms and for a record of sale system for those firearms, and for other purposes.†The phrase “certain firearmsâ€Â refers to “a handgun; or a semiautomatic rifle that is capable of accepting a detachable ammunition feeding device.â€
The legislation defines and “ammunition feeding device†as a device “capable of being detached from a semiautomatic rifle; and has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition.â€
Law abiding citizens would have to register their firearms with The Government and then get a firearm license from the state government. We already see how hard it is to get a firearm in many states, at least for the law abiding attempting to protect themselves from the criminals. Imagine how much harder the gun grabbers will make the licensing with a national law.
Exemptions to the requirements include “a Federal employee who is required to carry a qualifying firearm in the capacity of that individual as a Federal employee while engaged in the performance of official duties.†In other words, the Capitol Police and other security personnel who protect Congress would not have to submit to the requirement placed upon commoners.
Funny how it’s always The Government, including those who protect government officials, who are excluded from all the Democrat gun grabbers schemes.
