Gotta give it to the communists, they dont waste any time whatsoever in passing all the unAmerican shit they have wet dreams about.
Kinda curious how we didnt pass any kind of legislation when we controlled all 3 back in 2017
I’m trying to understand the language in certain parts of these bills. Are they saying if you’re flagged on the background check you have to wait 10 days and if no decision is returned by the FBI you have to petition the US Attorney General for resolution??I think you are confusing with the votes need to close a filibuster vs pass a piece of legislation. See below.
In the Senate, the bill is assigned to another committee and, if released, debated and voted on. Again, a simple majority (51 of 100) passes the bill.

Don't misunderstand... What do you mean "States don't get a vote."???? They for sure do but that wasn't where I was going. State Legislators can, and have, nullified Federal laws. Sanctuary Cities/counties/States. 2A Sanctuary cities/counties/States. Border control is supposed to be Fed. only but Texas seems to have different thoughts. When I mentioned the States getting involved I wasn't suggesting they vote it down at the Federal level. More along the lines of outright rejection, of bills they pass at the Federal level, on the State level.States dont get a vote.
This will pass easily, 8 Republicans voted for it in the House.

This will effectively end gun shows.....no private sales and they will have 10 days to approve buyers for a background check....
Kind of hard for them to stop someone from selling their own property.
You could be right but... State marijuana laws seem to be doing just fine.Well Texas says a 2 shot burst is not a machine gun, but I do not see anyone making/selling 2 shot burst guns.
So I am going to guess there will be zero gun dealers not obeying these new laws.
Except now their a risk of losing everything they have worked for over a 4473. Most of folks will take hard pass on that.
If these laws pass, it will not be business as usual. This site does not even let you quote a line in an article, doubt they will allow private listings. And even if they do, their ISP/host may tell them otherwise. This is no longer the country we grew up in.
Be sure to wear your mask. Stay safe!I am voting for the large asteroid heading to earth to hit DC.

Exactly. I can think of a few very specific and possibly illegal ways the Feds could possibly (after a lot of trouble) pin you for an illegal transfer, but for the most part, they don't know with any certainty who owns what guns. If two people decide they want to do a private sale, and they can keep their mouths shut, there's not really shit the Feds can do about it. The law is unenforceable.
People don't need the internet to sell things. We've been doing it for centuries before the internet existed.
Yep!
I sold a rifle stock. Oh shit, I forgot to take the barreled action out of it.
I sold a complete upper, and forgot to remove the lower. Dang!
I sold some badazz hand grips, but forgot to take them off the pistol.
You are missing the point I made in #28.
Compliance will be over 99%. Guaranteed.
Even harder to enforce if pics and info on the agents enforcing it start getting posted on the Internet.....definitely an unintended consequence.....Exactly.

Even more so if the states tell the Feds to pound sand and deny them any assistance in enforcing these laws. The Feds don't have even remotely near the amount of manpower needed to enforce this law in a single, small state by themselves, let alone the entire US.
