Report: White House Working Group Considers BROAD Gun-Control Measures.....

MMC said:
The White House is reportedly weighing gun-control measures that are broader and more comprehensive than bans on the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips.

Because the second amendment only covers barrel loaded muskets. (apparently)

Measures under consideration by a working group led by Vice President Joe Biden include universal background checks for buyers, strengthened mental health examinations and stiffened penalties for carrying guns near schools or giving them to minors, sources told The Washington Post.

Oh, so there was never any background checks to buy a gun...

Anyway, like Rahm Emmanuel said "never let a good crisis go to waste."

One source told the newspaper that the White House may try to rally support from gun retailers including Wal-Mart to work around the National Rifle Association.

The vice president said he would call on the law enforcement officials in the group to help in a legislative push against "everything from cop-killer bullets to type of weapons that should be off the street."

So, where do you buy these "cop killer" bullets... What do those do?? Are those the types of bullets that targets the nearest cop regardless of where it is aimed?

The only weapons that should be "off the streets" are those weapons in the hands of criminals, the best way to disarm a criminal is with your own equal or better weapons.

(how come there has never been a mass shooting at an NRA Meeting?)

White House press secretary Jay Carney last month also outlined concrete recommendations the president was expecting from the working group.

Carney said that in addition to assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips bans, the White House would push a law that required background checks on all gun purchases, even those conducted at gun shows or over the Internet.

Carney added that the president would also call on Congress to "take action to improve coordination between the federal government and state and local law enforcement to keep illegal guns out of the hands of criminals."

Members of the 113th Congress introduced 10 bills on Thursday relating to gun violence, most of which came from Democrats seeking new restrictions on gun ownership.

Does anyone ever wonder WHY government is so eager to remove / restrict the right to bare arms??

Looks Like the Democrats are going to push this issue Despite needing to focus on more important issuse. 10 bills have been introduced since Thursday. Those backing the 2nd Amendment and Weapons Rights. Will All need to come out in force. Pressuring lawmakers and even the press to report this down accurately as the Left will seek to distract over other issues while seeking to go after Weapons.

Yes, and let's just pretend for a second that there is a gun confiscation, well, there will be a number that refuse... Say 10% of fun owners, then those gun owners will get visits, and say 1% of gun owners fight back against that... Well, your looking at MILLIONS fighting back, that's what we call an army an the start of a civil war.

It's ok, they will be called "terrorists" and many will applaud the governments efforts to quell the insurrection
 
Is that WH planning to attach gun control to the debt ceiling? Otherwise these bills are gonna be DOA in some House sub-committee.....

So why isn't there anything on proper storage of firearms?
 
For that past 4 years, the Obamabots assured us that Obama was going after our guns. Did they lie, or are they just that ignorant?

Right now I could care less about storage. We got bigger fish to fry. Proper storage is a bull**** issue if there ever was one.

It's almost as though Obama isn't actually worried about gun safety ;)

I was trying to find out what 2 Republicans put forth bills and what did they put in those bills? As I am thinking they must be Moderates.

I don't know what Proper storage would mean.....in my house that I lock up when I leave and go to bed. I don't have any little kids. So what did the Government say that they needed to know where something is in my home and on the property I own.

Change -ATF form 4473 question 11, to add a new sub-question "m", which reads: "Will you store your firearms in a container, receptacle or room that is kept securely locked and that is constructed so that it cannot readily be broken open or into?" A "no" answer halts the sale. A couple lines of code with the same language requiring currently owned firearms to be stored the same way would suffice, also.

You can register, require training and background checks, restrict and mag-limit the hell out of firearms all you want, but the gun in the OR mall and CT school shootings were all stolen, not legally owned, so such laws make no deference to public safety. Aside from eliminating gun free zones, proper storage laws could have made a difference.

The current proposed gun control is only meant to disarm the people so that we will be less armed when we riot over economic problems which are currently on the horizon. It has nothing to do with public safety or crime, but everything to do with why the Fed is about to mint trillion-dollar platinum coins.

There is nothing wrong with the government printing and owning its own money instead of the banks owning all the money and charging interest on every dollar they loan out. On the contrary, I think it's the real solution to the problem. If you've seen documentaries such as Money as Debt, you may be able to understand why.
