AG Barr’s Gun Control Proposals

Via David Codrea, FPC has a brief analysis here.
The invocation of “chain of title” is also problematic, as it suggests a legitimate government interest in maintaining searchable records of all firearm transactions. In other words: a universal registry masquerading as a background check system.
It’s a bad idea for a whole host of reasons. But I wanted to point out one thing on this that you may have overlooked.
There are so many articles out there where it’s claimed that the White House said “Trump hasn’t bought any of this yet” that I cannot cite them all.
Here’s what I think happened. These are ideas collectively promulgated by both Trump (a gun controller from way back) and Barr (a gun controller from way back). Don’t believe it when the articles hint that this is all Barr and Trump is waiting on the Congress to lead by interacting first with Barr.
Barr is his boy on this. Trump wants plausible deniability, and this effort is him sticking his finger in the wind. Whether he gets all of this or not, at least now you see where Trump’s hearts is: “chain of title.” Or in other words, a national gun registry.

On September 18, 2019, Trump tweeted: “Dummy Beto made it much harder to make a deal.”
“Make a deal…” If people paid attention they would see his true colors.

How do you get a title for a gun with no serial number? Trump is playing with fire and he knows it. The unquenchable thirst to control others is something I have never understood but apparently is very strong. The communists can’t stand to be told no and they are being told NO concerning illegal/unconstitutional gun control.

Maybe NOW people will start to understand the goal? Nope…I think the sheeple will stay asleep until it is too late.

If this passes, I vote straight democrat. The GOP has been doing gun control on the state level for few years. Florida and Colorado’s recent odious gun laws were signed off on by republicans. in Florida , both gov and legislature we gop. I think my political life is pretty much over. they own both sides, whoever “they ” is .

Make your wasted vote count. Vote LP and get an alternative voice on the next Presidential debate stage.
