Gun Grab 2022

Dems always have "reasonable" gun laws, in their minds. A cursory glance at what they want, tells another story. Dems always have "reasonable" gun laws, in their minds. A cursory glance at what they want, tells another story. The 2022 payload of manure is 8 laws bundled together -- none of which would have stopped the recent mass shootings. But they bundle them in hopes that people won't think about them, and think the Democrats are trying to "do something". ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2022-05-31

🗒️ Note:
It helps to remember that if you have an unpopular idea if you tell the truth, then politicians just lie. Democrats do that with misnaming bills. "Prevent Gun Trafficking", which is already against the law, is used to work against ammunition sales, or to give anyone 10 years in prison for giving their son a gun before he's 21, and so on.

Here's the 8 bad ideas (or at least bad implementations):

• The Raise the Age Act (H.R. 3015, Rep. Anthony Brown of Maryland) says that you can be a Police Officer, vote, kill others (abortion or military), die for your country, but you shouldn't be able to buy/own a gun. Remember this in the context that >83% of guns used in crimes/murder/mass murder are not gotten legally, and that a minority of mass shooters are between 18-21. So you're >90% more likely to harass someone for no good reason, than to prevent anything.

• Prevent Gun Trafficking Act (H.R. 2280, Rep. Robin Kelly of Illinois) - this is already against the law. So what are they really doing? Read the fine print: it's so leftist can throw anyone in prison for 10 years for transferring/selling ammunition, any part, or giving your son a gun before his 21st birthday and so on. Does a person in Lake Tahoe Nevada know that if he drives 1 mile downt he road to Tahoe California with his gun in the back, that he just committed a felony because the ammo he bought in Nevada wasn't registered in California? Well he's about to find out.

• The Untraceable Firearms Act (H.R. 3088, Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island) - it has always been legal for civilians to make guns. (Assuming they are legally allowed to be in posession of them). This basically says you can't. It helps to know that virtually no "Ghost Guns" as the left calls them, have ever been used in crimes. And it doesn't matter, because nobody leaves guns behind, and all guns are virtually untraceable even if you do. This isn't CSI, it's the real world.

• Ethan’s Law (H.R. 748, Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut) - the government gets to come into your home and verify that you are keeping your guns stored in a way that they approve of, under the false premise of gun safety.

• The Safe Guns, Safe Kids Act (H.R. 6370, Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan) - not only does the government get to tell you what safe storage is, but if the nieghborhood kid breaks into your home and steals it, and uses it in a crime, then you are liable.

• The Kimberly Vaughan Firearm Safe Storage Act (H.R. 130, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas) - all guns must be unloaded, and locked separate from their ammo, or kept at a gun range. Since this would never happen, all you'd do is teach contempt for the law, and turn virtually all gun owners into felons. Enranged Democrat home invasion person kicks in my front door, let me open gun safe 1 and get the gun, oen ammo safe 2 and try to load, oh wait, I'm dead. Well, better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6. Thus you'd get zero compliance.

• Closing the Bump Stock Loophole Act (H.R. 5427, Rep. Dina Titus of Nevada) - there's no loophole to begin with. Cranks and bump stocks are so 19th century. But this law is poorly written and would still allow some kinds of bump stocks/triggers, anyways. People can make these out of a shoe string, a belt loop, or just knowing how to trick shoot. And only one crime ever involved them (Las Vegas Shooter), and the use of bump stock ("spraw and pray") lowered the death rate over a competent professional knowing how to focus select fire on the exits. So it helps nothing.

• The Keep Americans Safe Act (H.R. 2510, Rep. Ted Deutch of Florida) - this outlaws standard capacity magazines, eventhough this has no material impact on mass shootings, or shootings in general. Read: Magazine_Limits

Conclusion

Not one of these would have impacted recent mass shootings. But they would all harass legal gun owners.

This stands little chance of getting through the Senate. Which is why Democrats want it so badly. They get to make ineffective laws that sound good to the clueless. They get to get them rejected by the informed. Then they get to blame the other side for doing nothing and campaign on the gullibility of their base. When none of these could have helped, and are just harassing techniques.
