45Doll 5,848 Posted March 20, 2020 Have you read or heard about H.R. 5117. Take a browse through that one. I believe it was around last year, and it's been reintroduced. Here is a video summarizing the worst of it: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel 7,148 Posted March 20, 2020 Actually, I think this is strategically a BAD time for them to try this! It will piss people off like crazy... including all those folks with a "sudden" COVID-19-related interest in guns! You don't launch a huge gun control bill just as the nation's people are feeling insecure. I hope they get a lot of blowback on this. Perhaps everyone on here who's forced to sit home now anyway... should warm up their keyboards/phones and start contacting your legislators? I'll add that to my weekend chores! 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dilbert1967 145 Posted March 21, 2020 The guy that introduced this bill, Hank Johnson, is the same guy who said if we stationed 8,000 Marines on the island of Guam, it might tip over and capsize. Man, you can't make this stuff up. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/tipping-point/ 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greenday 323 Posted April 12, 2020 It's not going to pass, but people need to be aware of this bullshit. Have you guys seen the list of guns banned? Anything resembling an AR-15, anything resembling an AK-47. Guess my M&P 15-22 would be an assault rifle. Get fucked. Bill Pascrell, Jr. is one of the co-sponsors. It's super early on, but maybe some of his District 9 constituents should flood his inbox and pay him a visit. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A politicians first responsibility is to the constitution. 3. The way a politician treats the constitution and specifically the 2nd Amendment should tell you all you need to know to not vote for that person. 4. Every politician supporting gun control will not stop, they want to completely strip your right to own a gun. Take NJ or example with magazine capacity, there once wasnt a magazine capacity limit, then it went to 15, then to 10, there has even been a 5 round magazine limit bill proposed that went nowhere. You can bet it will be back and passed if the current lawsuit against the 10 round limit is not successful. Do you see where this goes? 5. See number 4 above. Everywhere in history and throughout the world where governments turned on their people, it was preceded or in conjunction with civilian disarmament! 6. The above is all you need to know, vote accordingly! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now tell me how many were plea bargained down to lesser charges. What a dumb and ignorant statement. 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downtownv 1,764 Posted April 12, 2020 Yup good ole plea bargains, rarely do the gun charges stick. But we have these great fockin' laws!

Now tell me how many were plea bargained down to lesser charges. What a dumb and ignorant statement. Unless the feds take over in which case their laws supercede NJ punishments. Example Person drove to Virginia, purchased handguns for her cousin and her cousin's boyfriend who didn't feel like waiting for FIDs, and gave them to them. Hours after giving the guns to unlicensed people, cops were called for shots fired. Oh, and one of those people she strawpurchased the guns for had been arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of unlawful possession of a handgun and two counts of possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. 18 months. That's all she got. For travelling between states, purchasing guns for unlicensed buyers, one of whom was dealing with charges for violent crime. Maximum 5 year sentence and she got 18 months. This is the EXACT kind of thing that people freak out about when it comes to strawpurchasing. Federal enforcement of violent gun crime is notoriously weak.

Downtownv 1,764 Posted April 12, 2020 None of this is ever going to happen, but they are clearly out of the closet about their intention to take down the 2A. If anyone votes democrat, THIS is what your are endorsing.\ \ 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maintenanceguy 509 Posted April 13, 2020 This is going to pass. It won't pass right now but the next time we have a democrat president, house, and senate it will absolutely pass. And, more bans will follow them. There is nothing we can do to stop it because each of us is only one vote and it's obvious that a big chunk of the country either doesn't agree with us or doesn't care about this one civil right. The only place this stuff has any chance of getting stopped is in the Supreme Court. In the last election, judge appointments was the most important issue and it will be the most important issue in the next one. We can elect a president and stop this stuff for 4 years but if that president appoints a justice to SCOTUS, we can stop this stuff for 30 years. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dajonga 396 Posted April 13, 2020 So, hypothetical questions here. How will the gov know exactly what long guns we have? Most of my "evil" guns were bought at FFLs ( I now wish I had picked up a few more in 2018, in a then legal face-to-face transfer, with only an easily missplaced NJ COE). Are the FFL's records the only trace back to a buyer? Does the ATF ever sniff around the 4473s outside of an investigation of a crime? If I was a FFL, and the gov was trying to find out who owned what by digging thru my records....well I dunno....I would think I would want to protect my customers information and uphold the constitution. Just a late night, whisky sipping question. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The bill does make my head spin a bit in that they want to ban the rather inexpensive hi point carbines that were built to comply with the so-called assault weapons ban of 1994, but they are ok with SKS rifles in their original configuration, which apparently includes the Yugoslavian variety!
