Yet more gun control...

Apparently, the Coronavirus isn't as big a deal since we have bigger fish to fry.

Some highlights:

• Create a federal gun licensing system and require a federal or state-issued firearms license to purchase or own a gun, and establish a grant program to help states set up their own systems.
• Require universal background checks, close legal loopholes that allow individuals to skirt background check requirements, and require background check denials to be reported to law enforcement.
• Keep guns out of the wrong hands by banning individuals who present safety risks from buying guns, establishing Extreme Risk Protection Order systems, and cracking down on gun theft.
• Ensure that guns are used and stored responsibly by raising the minimum age for all gun or ammunition purchases to 21, establishing a 7-day waiting period for the purchase of all guns, strengthening gun storage laws, and banning guns on all school campuses.
• Keep weapons of war off our streets by banning military-style assault weapons, lethal gun accessories, and untraceable and undetectable firearms.
• Crack down on gun trafficking by banning bulk gun purchases and establishing a new law to specifically ban gun trafficking.
• Improve oversight of gun dealers by strengthening ATF's authority to inspect gun shops, enhancing record-keeping requirements for gun dealers, and repealing harmful appropriations riders that limit law enforcement's ability to trace guns that are used in crimes and hold gun dealers accountable when they break the law.
• Hold the gun industry accountable by clarifying that gun manufacturers can be held liable for civil penalties for the harms their guns cause, authorizing the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to address safety defects in firearms and firearm accessories, and raising the excise tax on gun sales to 30% and ammunition sales to 50%.
• Invest in research and community-based gun violence prevention by providing $100 million in annual funding for federal research into gun violence and creating a new grant program to provide $100 million per year for gun violence intervention programs.

Much like when people claim there aren't enough resources for confiscation based on claims of lack of resources dealing with real crimes against people and property.

Failed presidential candidate Fakeahauntas just trying to feel relevant. She can go pound sand.

More eye candy to distract us while they go on about their actual business. You know making backroom deals and insider trades so that they can simply steal all the political and economic power for themselves and their pals. It's all theatre to distract the masses from the real game.

So... basically they took a gander at the massive gun buying panic going on right now and said, "hey, you know what? Let's make this situation worse, while ALSO reminding some of those people why they're buying the guns/ammo/etc in mass quantities for in the first place..."

Holy shit how stupid can you be....and she wants to be president?

I wonder how much of a learning experience this was for these people, typically anti gun, running out and learning first had how much of a process it really is to buy a gun?

How quickly you CAN'T buy one online and ship it to your house, just run into a gun store, buy one and leave with it, etc.

They should be handled the same way as the hand sanitizer scalper.

Gun control is not going to be too popular right now. Even some (emphasis on "some") liberals are starting to get it a little. It won't keep them from voting for anti-gun candidates, but they personally are starting to see it.
