"Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration" for grandfathered ownership.

Keep that stuff in CA

Someone should play this in open Congressional Hearings when she brings this up:

I hope I'm not the only one who noticed this part:

• Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:
  • Background check of owner and any transferee;
  • Type and serial number of the firearm;
  • Positive identification, including photograph and fingerprint;
  • Certification from local law enforcement of identity and that possession would not violate State or local law; and
  • Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration

So they expect everyone who currently owns one of these scary guns to have it registered as though it were a Class III weapon?

I would share how that makes me feel, but I'd have to ban myself...

If this is passed it will be a important date in US history, the end of our freedom as we know it. The first open step in the destruction of our freedoms and the constitution. It will end badly for our country.

Welcome to California. Please check your guns at the boarder.

It's an underhanded tax on gun owners. They want a $200 tax stamp.

It's taken over 9 months to get my NFA for my silencer... Can you imagine how long it would take to get EVERYONE a background check on EVERY weapon?

By the time they get to everyone, they'll all be antiques anyway.

After talking with a buddy out here who owns a firearms business, we've come to the conclusion that this bill is most likely designed to fail...our opinion is that they'll introduce this, knowing that it won't make muster, and then negotiate back to a more "reasonable" regulation...similar to haggling over an item on craigslist....they're lowballing the congress to get what they want

Aint that always the way it goes?

 

[mr8ball]
