Great. What is the Senate going to do about curbing illegal guns?

Apparently, in the eyes of democrats, ALL firearms are illegal—unless of course they are possessed by thug government storm troopers or inner city gangs.

This bill has no chance of passing. It is obviously intended to appease the Democratic voters and create a list of Republicans opposed to gun control to be used in campaign ads.

Great. What is the Senate going to do about curbing illegal guns?

Arrest law abiding citizens while releasing a few hundred thousand more violent felons from prison early again.

Because we all know the FBI would never let a felon have a gun registered to them, let alone let an Army Major conduct a mass shooting on a military base in the name of Islam.
If this gets passed SCOTUS will slam Brandon again.

They try this everytime to prevent a crisis from going to waste.
Comes under 'Shall not be infringed'

And in 40 years we’ll get back to you.

Here are the things which will cause your federal license to be denied:

(aa) history of threats or acts of violence toward self or others;
(bb) history of use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force by the applicant against another person;
(cc) whether the applicant is the subject of or has violated a domestic violence or stalking restraining order or protection order;
(dd) any prior arrest, pending charge, or conviction for a violent or serious crime or disorderly persons offense, stalking offense, or domestic violence offense;
(ee) any prior arrest, pending charge, or conviction for an offense involving cruelty to animals;
(ff) history of drug or alcohol abuse or involvement in drug trafficking;
(gg) any recent acquisition of firearms, ammunition, or other deadly weapons; and
(hh) involvement in firearms trafficking or unlawful firearms transfers; and
(ii) history of unsafe storage or handling of firearms.

What the hell is "any recent acquisition of firearms, ammunition, or other deadly weapons" supposed to mean?

"history of drug or alcohol abuse". Too many DUIs, no gun for you!
