Backdoor Gun Control Via MAIG |
2010-01-01 |
I have obtained a copy of Bloomberg’s secret “Blueprint for Federal Action on Guns” which is really a blueprint for how the Obama Administration can screw gun owners without needing anything from Congress. This was the infamous 40 recommendations that the Washington Post reported on a few months ago. It this document doesn’t convince you that MAIG (Mayors Against Illegal Guns) is a significantly more serious threat than any other gun control organization out there, nothing will. Whoever wrote this knows ATF very well, and understands federal gun laws well enough to know how to effectively make changes using only administrative and regulatory changes, which do not require action from the US Congress. While some of the 40 recommendations are not objectionable, quite a number of them are. Let me go down the list and pick out some of the worst offenders, and this is by no means a comprehensive list. Look at the document yourself to find others: Require REAL ID compliant identification for all gun purchasers. Those in non-complying states, which are many, will no longer be permitted to buy firearms. |

#1 A lot of stupid proposals that were they to become law would made to be broken and ignored. Call it what it is: Citizen disarmament laws. The anti gun people have been trying to split gun owners between those who hunt and those who fear a bloated and overreaching federal government, and the crime which inevitably follows. Both are citizens and both currently have the Constitutional right to own weapons, but it is the purpose for which guns are owned that the government is trying to bifurcate: trying to extoll in a backwards way hunting, while placing a stigma on those who own weapons for protection. |
