‘‘Handgun Purchaser Licensing Act’’ introduced in the US Senate.

[Slapstick]

Just as the title describes, if passed you will need a permit, (permission) from the Feds to buy a handgun. The assault on the 2nd continues!

Edit: After reading my first statement again I see it's incorrect. The Bill sets up Federal grants to the States to set up a permitting system. I got ahead of myself because I firmly believe that if passed will eventually end up with needing persmission from the Feds to buy a handgun.

I thought the Bideners said the Senate was "safe" for gun owners?

It only takes one senator to introduce a bill, but it doesn't mean it will pass, much like Feinstein's perennial "assault weapons" ban

It's well past time that SCOTUS strikes this **** down as unconstitutional. I still don't understand how nine states already have this in place.

Have lawsuits been taken to the Supreme Court on this issue?

 

[MCgrease08]

I know there is an open case in Illinois challenging the constitutionality of their FOID card requirement. A state circuit Court ruled it was unconstitutional and it was appealed to the IL Supreme Court, which found a way to not actually rule on the constitutionality question, sending it back down to the lower court. This was a little more than a year ago.

Illinois Supreme Court remands White County case that found FOID card unconstitutional

(The Center Square) – It’s back to the circuit court with an Illinois Supreme Court case challenging the constitutionality of the state’s Firearm Owners Identification card.

Michigan's been doing it since I think the 1920's. They've come close a couple times to getting rid of it but MSP keeps getting in the way.

Assuming this "act" is what we think it is, will this be the camel's nose under the tent taking us to the next level, if you want to exercise your first amendment freedom of speech, if that speech is political you will have to pay a monthly tax of $50 to complain about republicans, $1000 per month to complain about democrats, of $100 to complain about all others?

Many despots have found that the spoken word can cause more deaths than a handgun.

Given how they performed on the election fraud issue, I can't feel secure that SCOTUS would rule the way we want on this. If they were afraid of unrest if they called into question Xiden's election, who's to say they wouldn't also be afraid of unrest after the next convenient mass killing happens while gutting RKBA is being implemented

But no more mean tweets, so we've got that going for us

Yeah, how many times have we heard the D voters say "nobody is coming for your guns"?

Probably trying to propose an exclusion for handguns that have "sporting purpose."

 

[Bennettjh]

Yeah, how many times have we heard the D voters say "nobody is coming for your guns"?

Too many. I still don't believe them.

Only those that are dumber than a sack of **** would believe such a thing. The rest of them are lying sacks of ****.

Hell, the camel's nose was let under the tent back in '34. Should have hit it with an axe then.

Everyone was scrambling to look tough on crime, by infringing on the law-abiding. The model worked and here we are today after numerous iterations.
