The plan would also make it illegal for someone to buy a gun on behalf of someone else who is unable to buy a firearm legally.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, well, all of those things are already regulated. As I pointed out the other day, there&#8217;s a question about domestic abuse convictions on the ATF 4473 now. &#8220;Straw&#8221; purchases, the term used for buying weapons for others, is already illegal &#8211; well, unless you&#8217;re buying those weapons for Mexican cartels under the popular &#8220;Fast and Furious&#8221; program. There are virtually no loopholes in the private sales proponent, especially none that would impact crime. As I&#8217;ve said before, the FBI interviewed criminals who committed their crimes with guns and found that less than 1% of those guns were from those types of sales. More of their guns were stolen during burglaries or purchased in back alleys &#8211; that&#8217;s already illegal, too.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) has already proposed legislation that would encourage states to report more information about mentally ill individuals to the federal background check database.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Since mental health played a large role in the past several &#8220;mass shootings&#8221; that certainly makes more sense, however &#8220;more sense&#8221; isn&#8217;t something that we&#8217;ve come to expect from gun-grabbers like Schumer. <\/p>\n<p>The real reason that Democrats would even waste their time with proposing legislation that already exists is to seed the law with universal gun registration measures. Gun registration doesn&#8217;t have any real purpose other than to tell the government where the guns are when they decide that the 2d Amendment doesn&#8217;t allow for private ownership. We&#8217;re about one Supreme Court justice away from that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Post reports that Chuck Schumer and his gang of gun-grabbers are ready to introduce &hellip; <a title=\"Senate Democrats write new gun control regulations\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=62238\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Senate Democrats write new gun control regulations<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40472,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62238","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=62238"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62238\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/40472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=62238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=62238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=62238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
