Tipping Their Hand

HR8 destroys ANY transfer of ownership of a gun without the knowledge and APPROVAL of the government. It criminalizes private sales, giving a gun to someone, even LOANING a gun to someone without their knowledge and approval. Nancy Peelosi says a future Dumocrat president could declare a national emergency over “gun crime,” and “Pocahontas” piled on, saying when she’s president (a real long shot, that) she would definitely declare a national emergency about “gun crime. Another good reason NOT to vote for her, to add to the plethora of other reasons. Currently, the law has a “safety valve” in the fact that if the government doesn’t act on a background check in three days, a dealer is free to complete the sale. HR1112 kills that. Which means a president could declare a national emergency and SHUT DOWN the NICS checks for any amount of time, which would stop ALL gun sales in that time. And he or she could do it over and over again, making it almost impossible for anybody but the government to buy a gun, for any reason. Of course most privately-owned gun stores could not survive even three months without a sales, which would CRIPPLE the gun sales industry—which is their goal. If you can’t just ban guns, just make them impossible to get—legally. Of course, this will just give the ILLEGAL gun sales business a “shot in the arm,” but they don’t talk about that. The only problem with their plan is that ANY law that limits gun purchases is an “infringement” on a constitutional right, which is PROHIBITED by the Constitution, to which ALL LAWS must conform. But they just ignore that. (Gun Talk)
