Dem’s debut national ammo control bill

[Biggy]

It probably will not go anywhere, but ammo is cheap right now, so stock up.

Never underestimate the tenacity of the Left and the spinelessness of the Republicans.

Assuming that I'm seeing the curvature of those mags correctly those rifle cartridges are loaded backwards in the mags.

Optical illusion most likely. They look like straight 20-round thermold FAL metric mags to me.

Great, the panic buyers will now start skyrocketing prices.

People said "No, Democrats won't go after the guns. They had plenty of time when Obama was President."

Now, our rights are at the mercy of whether or not Mitch McConnell will be spineless or actually take a stand.

This is mostly just a recycling of a similar bill from last April, proposed by the same two Dem Congress-critters.

Current law prohibits the use of NICS for anything other than firearms sales:

https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/nics

§ 25.6 Accessing records in the system.
(a) FFLs may initiate a NICS background check only in connection with a proposed firearm transfer as required by the Brady Act. FFLs are strictly prohibited from initiating a NICS background check for any other purpose.
(p. 58308)

The Wasserman Schultz bill would change that by amending the Brady Bill.

They're probably doing this because they've been unable to make it happen at the state level. IIRC in response to the (now suspended) SAFE act requirement for background checks on ammo sales the FBI told New York they couldn't use NICS and would have to create their own system. I think the FBI re-iterated this to Cali DOJ.

Amen.

After all this time, after all the ammo " shortages" in the past years, after every mass/school shooting, anybody that shoots alot and dosen't reload is a fool. A dillon 650 with a casefeeder, and you can spit out all the ammo you want/need is a relatively short amount of time, all one needs to do is keep stocked up on components, and right now that's not hard.
