I read that part of the proposed gun control bill will include a section that makes it illegal to sell a firearm without the consent of the government. I wonder if this is true?
Link???????????????
This^.the left wants is a national registration system and to close what they refer to as the "gun show loophole." I am assuming if that is put into effect you will have to go through an FFL and do a NICS check even for a private sale. At that point all firearms transactions will be able to be tracked.
Unforturnately, it's not rumor this time.Please stop spreading rumors. If you are going to post something, at least post a link to the article. All we need is more fear mongering.
From what I have read and heard, one of the biggest things the left wants is a national registration system and to close what they refer to as the "gun show loophole."

Second, the president's legislative package should fix the broken background check system. Currently, nearly half of all gun sales in the U.S. are conducted without a background check. Criminals, the mentally ill, minors and domestic abusers are all prohibited from purchasing guns, but they all can do so as easily as attending a gun show or going online. The check takes only a few seconds, and it doesn't infringe on anyone's rights. That's why polls show that more than 80% of gun owners support a change in law to require background checks for all gun sales.
Fixing the background check system also requires the federal government to compel states to submit all necessary records on felons, domestic abusers, the seriously mentally ill and others to the background check system. Right now, far too many records are not in the system, which allows dangerous people -- including the Virginia Tech shooter -- to pass the background check and buy guns.
I agree something needs to change. Why not make existing laws more strick?
For example: someone caught with handgun, and does not have legal license to posses it, manditory 10 years in prison with no early realese. I know it will not solve everything but it would sure make someone think " if I get caught with this gun that's 10 years in prison" not just a felony charge and smack on the hand.
Dianne Feinstein said:“On the first day of the new Congress, I intend to introduce a bill stopping the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of assault weapons as well as large ammunition magazines, strips and drums that hold more than 10 rounds,” Feinstein said.“I am in the process of gathering support for the bill in the Senate and House.”
