Big update on plan to reduce gun violence
The U.S. Senate just took a big step toward reducing gun violence and making the country a safer place. This week, the Judiciary Committee voted to send to the Senate floor four different pieces of legislation that:
• Require background checks for all gun sales;

• Create new federal offenses for gun trafficking;

• Ban military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition; and

• Strengthen safety at schools.
There's a lot more work to do -- even for this legislation to get a vote.
But this is a major step forward.
You've already expressed an interest in this policy discussion, and we're sure you know other folks who are following this debate. Regardless of where you come down on these specific proposals, we're all united in the ultimate goal -- reducing the amount of gun violence in this country and making America a safer place for our kids.
Will you help to make sure that everyone has the latest information by forwarding this message along?
P.S. -- The Vice President talked more about where we are in this fight in a new feature we've just put on the White House website. Check out Being Biden.

Most readers of your post will recognize the obvious vagueness of the proposals and could guess as to what that vagueness could lead to, considering this bunch without question, has an agenda.

1. Background checks; So all private sales are prohibited? How would they know/enforce? Confiscation/registration comes to mind.

2. Ban military style... etc.; Who deems what that is? On what criteria? Grandfathered for the millions already out there? Again, door to door confiscation comes to mind.

3. "Strengthen Safety at schools"; This one is a laugh. They don't seem to like the idea of armed guards. Or armed teachers. I'm sure a gun shaped Pop-Tart will be first on the list to be on guard for though.

Additionally, as far as creating loop holes to jump through for those concerned with following the law in general, they can make things so onerously expensive as to effectively make it impossible. $500 required training to purchase a gun, tax the living hell out of guns and ammo... the list goes on. And they can do it all in the name of "safety for the children" and so on. The current administration does not want any gun of any type in the hands of the people. Period. The first and last question that should be asked is, will it, or has it made any difference to those hell bent on criminal behavior? History is replete with the answer. NO. (now that we're here, no one in the media is asking the most basic of questions: How did the last 10 year AWB turn out? Answer: 0 benefit.

I should have asked, is this a quote from what you received, or your paraphrasing? I hope not the latter.
