Think of the opportunities for sheriffs running on a "sanctuary" county platform.
I'll bet that even Mark Kelly (husband of Gabby Giffords!) would not vote for it. After all, he has to be elected in Arizona. Surely he knows that voting for gun control is electoral suicide in Arizona
And yet Mark Kelly did ,in fact, get elected in Arizona.
He got elected without making a big deal about gun control. And he's downplaying gun control again this year. Not everyone is as clued in as we are. But if he actually voted for a gun control bill (especially one like what we're discussing in this thread), the public would be awakened and his political career would be over in Arizona. Just as Beto O'Rourke is unelectable in Texas, because of what he said about guns.And yet Mark Kelly did, in fact, get elected in Arizona.
Funny how that didn't prevent the racist shootup of a kosher grocery store in Jersey City a couple of years ago...NJ’s Cory Booker represents a state that already requires a license to buy a long gun and ammunition, not to mention the dual permit system to purchase a handgun. The state uses a license system as a source of revenue and to enforce control across all state and municipal departments.
McSally was a weak candidate. She has a great resumé but little charisma.And yet Mark Kelly did ,in fact, get elected in Arizona.
NJ also requires a pistol permit to buy a bb or pellet pistol!NJ’s Cory Booker represents a state that already requires a license to buy a long gun and ammunition, not to mention the dual permit system to purchase a handgun.

As a side effect, the ATF would be overwhelmed. They would be absolutely unable to monitor the recordkeeping.
No worries. A bill like this is not going to fly. They're playing politics for their constituents. Midterm hullabaloo is in full swing. The left has alienated so many of the groups that they exploited to pass gun control in the past, including law enforcement.
My state of Illinois is one of the few states that require a firearms ID (FOID) and they're talking about eliminating that. This is actually a good time for gun owners... the best I've seen. The trend is to eliminate red tape based on our constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Any proposed federal law requiring registration and licensing is dead on arrival.
But don't get complacent. We've had a lot of victories in the courts. Keep fighting the good fight!

Not yet, they wouldn't. But give it another handful of years on the current trajectory and the gun grabbers will have the make-up they need in the court. We've seen recently what waiting for the right time to challenge precedent can do.The unintended consequences that would result from passage of this bill would be that this entire category of firearm restrictions would be challenged before the Supreme Court.
I don't think that the gun banners would like that... .
If they want to start a Civil War. Seriously, American are not hearing it.I could see Dems getting enough Republican votes to make this pass.
Not good.

The "Usual Suspects" are calling, again, for the 2nd Amendment to be repealed...I'm keeping an ear to the ground on this and other gun control legislation. After Tuesday, the landscape has changed. Seems to be more support for limiting what was deemed "Shall not be infringed".
Or, 4473's for everyone and every thing.I’m sure an individual FFL (essentially) would mean no more 4473s…..
The only way the 2nd Amendment could be repealed would be to start with a clean slate, via a "Convention of States." The mischief that would be unleashed with such an idea would be unimaginable. The precedent would be the 1787 Constitutional Convention, which, it may be recalled, was intended to "revise" the Articles of Confederation.The "Usual Suspects" are calling, again, for the 2nd Amendment to be repealed...
True, and I suspect they know that, but they want to put another “catchy” word into the mainstream. The catchy word now is “repeal”, like the words “impeach”, “defund”, “science” etc, that came before.The only way the 2nd Amendment could be repealed would be to start with a clean slate, via a "Convention of States."

Isn't a Constitutional Convention organized by states, not by population? And takes 35 states to agree on anything to pass?The only way the 2nd Amendment could be repealed would be to start with a clean slate, via a "Convention of States."

Isn’t it crazy sad that, in reality, only one person stands in the way of that not happening? I can only imagine the catastrophe if it weren’t for Manchin holding out for the filibuster.Nope
It wouldn't get through the filibuster.
