First Day Back, Dems Introduce 8 Gun Ban Bills
Never let a crisis go to waste:
Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) led the way with four bills introduced.
…
The measures McCarthy introduced include:
But McCarthy wasn’t alone. Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL), apparently ignoring the fact that his heavily gun-controlled home city of Chicago is the nation’s leader in murder with guns, introduced legislation that would create more stringent licensing for gunowners. So did Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ).
- Significant restrictions on gun show transactions, which would in effect end gun shows;
- No online purchases of ammunition, and licensing of ammunition dealers, as well as reporting to the federal government all bulk ammunition purchases;
- Prohibition on the transfer, sale, or possession of ammunition clips beyond a certain size.
And Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) proposed a bill that would prevent anyone under age 21 from carrying a handgun – even though people of 18 can vote and serve in the military.
But wait – there’s more! Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) pushed forward a bill requiring background checks on all gun sales, which would essentially prevent non-gun-shop transfers of weapons.
