Gun Plan

[PJ]

I'd be satisfied if the absolute constitutional right to bear arms were abolished. That's not the same thing as banning them (even though I'm somewhat sympathetic to that as well, but there are legitimate arguments for owning a weapon...say....in Alaska.)

I would agree with this. The right to bear arms doesn't mean what it meant in the 1700's. I support banning conceal carry and assault weapons, as well as requiring Universal Background Checks for all gun sales.

Machine Guns:

Restricts the transfer and possession of machine guns except for “transfers to or by, or possession by or under the authority of, the United States or any department or agency thereof or a State, or a department, agency, or political subdivision.

The ATF can authorize the transfer of a machine gun to an unlicensed civilian.

An unlicensed individual may acquire machine guns, with ATF approval, from its lawful owner residing in the same state as the individual.

The transferor must file an ATF application, which must be completed by both parties to the transfer and executed under penalties of perjury, and pay a $200 transfer tax to ATF.

Application to include detailed information on the firearm and the parties involved in the transfer.

Those receiving a machine gun through transfer must certify that they are not disqualified from possessing firearms.

Someone receiving a machine gun through transfer must submit two photographs taken within the last year, fingerprints, and a copy of a permit required to possess a machine gun.

Also must certify that machine gun will be used only for lawful purposes.

Anyone acquiring a machine gun must, as part of the registration process, pass an extensive Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal background investigation.

ATF must refund the $200 tax if application is denied.

Gun owners must keep approved applications as evidence of registration of the firearms and make them available for inspection by ATF officers.

4. Must be unloaded.

And again, I would like to comment on how intrusive the self-proclaimed "conservative" barfbag is on some of these issues.  I know, it's for the children.  We can't trust a bunch of weed smoking hunters in Montana with weapons, can we?

Lol. Barfbag's standards are a little frightening. Specifically, renouncing US citizenship, controlled substance, and dishonorable discharge are just… no.

Strange how the True Leftists are suddenly up in arms (no pun intended) about guns.

A quote from the time when semi-automatics were only beginning to develop is hardly a valid excuse for banning semi-automatics or opposing background checks. A total gun ban? Sure.
