New firearms regulations about to come down the pipe.

No clue what's in it, but it sounds a lot like the commerce law they were gonna try to ram through a little while back... And right now they need anything possible to take the attention away from everything else so I won't be surprised at anything listed in this proposal.

Hopefully the grassroots wheels get turning again soon.

So the Feds lose 190,000 firearms in Mexico and they want the LGS to account for better loss prevention? Sounds about right...

Perhaps they should start with these. :shake:

Ah, more regulations.  "Laws" that aren't legislated.

 

So just how many guns are stolen from FFL's?  I wasn't aware it was such an epidemic.  Why don't they focus on the bigger problem of burglary of homes and automobiles and find a solution for that?  That's where the vast majority of "illegal" guns come from anyway isn't it?  Maybe if property crime was treated as it should it wouldn't be such a problem.

Prehaps actually punishing burglars with stiff sentences when they are caught, instead of "catching & releasing" them would solve the problem?

Or is that not the agenda?

We could do like other countries and cut their hands off.

My wife volunteers for a local cat organization and they have a program for feral cats called TNR, trap, neuter, and release. Maybe that would work.

 

Just stack on some more probation to the career criminal and that will help for sure. They are back on the street committing more crimes before their current case is decided in many instances. I agree with Garufa that property crime is not taken serious enough in many cases.

The reason they are focusing on FFL with new regulations is to make life harder on the FFL and to try and force more and more of them out of business.

 

F-Troop is making a huge mistake by allowing themselves to be politicized like this, they run the risk of being seen as an arm of the anti-gun establishment...  if that happens when a pro-gun republican President comes into office, they will treat the ATF as a political arm and neuter them completely like what happens with the EPA.

 

Just remember that all the President has to do is issue an execute order placing a hiring freeze and no overtime on the ATF...  Then turn around and nominate a former NRA/GOA board member as the Director of the ATF...  tell the new director to audit every personnel file for violations of the law and prosecute them to the full extent of the law.  Then use those investigations and prosecutions to go before Congress, describe the ATF as rotten to the core and the need to disband it.

 

Largely, both Democrats and Republicans have recognized that it is a mistake to politicize federal law enforcement agencies like Obama is doing, but frankly I don't mind it in this case because we can wait our turn and decimate F Troop once and for all.

If caught using a gun to commit a crime, they should just snip the flexor tendon on the inside of each trigger finger and leave it that way, as well as, do the time for the crime. If they "prove" believe-able rehab before release date, then let them pay for their own damn repair surgery and rehab of the hand and uncovered by any insurance. If caught a second time, snip the wrist tendons and render them unwankable. That way, they get to keep their body parts but can't use'm for BS, anymore or much of anything, for that matter. Maybe they'll reconsider their intentions, then.

After this passes, they need to hire me to make a website to help track all the guns in the country ....  it will work about as well as other well known govt web sites and I could use a few million bucks for doing nothing.

But they can do that!
