Keep it up, Berry. You are going to find yourself working with a GOP filled congress.

He is still wanting to go after ARs and what not. And here is something interesting after the 7n6 banning:

"5. Finish the job of getting armor-piercing bullets off the streets."

We have seen this before. 1, 3, & 5 are too close to the third rail and will ultimately crash and burn. The rest will end up as a give away to the MIL Indust Complex and continued freebies to LE - to include $$$ for more LEOs on the streets (temporarily of course, and when the program runs dry the communities will need to increases taxes to feed it). The rest of it will be a give away to worthless community organizer types that will come up with a do nothing program. It is pandering to his hardcore constituents and a billion dollar give away.

Zero shock here. A billion bucks wasted by this administration in attempts to stifle constitutionally protected rights is par for the course.

The part that worries me is the smart gun grants. It won't be long before our dumb guns are outlawed through legislation. Watch out for the case-less ammo suff too as I suspect that once it becomes truly viable it will be restricted to MIL/LE only and will adversley effect the ammo industry.

What is more relentless, the rocks on the shore or the sea that crashes into them?

I'm starting to think this bruised Kenyan turd just wants to rack up as much debt as possible to ensure high tax rates in the future.... to service the filthy animal's debt.

Keep it up, Berry. You are going to find yourself working with a GOP filled congress.

Not a big worry. Other than a handful of Reps outside of the establishment, he GOP isn't much better than the Democrats anymore these days.

What a turd!

I didn't know the government had $1.1 billion laying around somewhere.

I didn't know the government had $1.1 billion laying around somewhere.

Sure they do...just wait about a 1/2 hour or so, and they'll get it printed up...no problem....

From the article:

"Now is the Time" includes the following:

1. Require background checks for all gun sales. I thought background checks are already done for all guns?

2. Strengthen the background check system for gun sales. What else can be done to strengthen the system that isn't already being done?

3. Pass a new, stronger ban on assault weapons. So that would mean that the NFA holders would be affected and not normal gun owning citizens?

4. Limit ammunition magazines to 10 rounds. What will that do for crime/shooting incidents?

5. Finish the job of getting armor-piercing bullets off the streets I thought there was already a law governing the use of AP ammunition?

6. Give law enforcement additional tools to prevent and prosecute gun crime What more tools does LE need that they don't already have?

7. End the freeze on gun violence research Last I checked the FBI does this research yearly.

8. Make our schools safer with new resource officers and counselors, better emergency response plans, and more nurturing school climates. How about arming security or just getting rid of the GUN FREE ZONES?

9. Ensure quality coverage of mental health treatment, particularly for young people I thought that's what Obamacare was all about?
