Anti-Gun Senator Cornyn Should Not Be Senate Leader
From Bearing Arms:
Sen. John Cornyn handed the Biden administration a huge win by working with the White House to pass the Safter Communities Act. He went against his party’s usual stand on gun control and managed to spearhead an effort to get it passed in the Senate, which had been where gun control went to die.
Dianne Feinstein, Gun Hater, Dead At 90
From AP:
Feinstein died on Thursday night at her home in Washington, D.C., her office said on Friday. Opening the Senate floor, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that “earlier this morning, we lost a giant in the Senate.”
48 Senators Send Letter To Biden About Pistol Braces
From The Federalist:
In a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, all of the Republicans in the Senate, except for Rob Portman of Ohio and Susan Collins of Maine, demand that the Biden administration “correct the mistake†and walk back the proposal which the legislators allege was justified on claimsâ€without evidence†that people simply wanted to avoid paying for NFA items.
Suppressor Ban/Confiscation In U.S. Senate
From Guns.com:
Sen. Bob Menendez last week announced his plan to introduce what he terms the Help Empower Americans to Respond (HEAR) Act when Congress goes back to work on Monday. His bill would reportedly provide some narrow exceptions for “certain current and former law enforcement personnel†and others while outlawing the more than 1 million currently legal suppressors in the country.
New NICS Law Could Be Opening For More Gun Control
From Townhall.com:
“Enforce the law” has been a mantra for squish Republicans. Â So, you may ask, what’s wrong with making sure every single eligible name reaches NICS?
The answer is that the “dirty little secret” of NICS is that the prohibited persons law (18 U.S.C. 922(g)) and its interpretation under a 2007 law and its regulations are so perverse that, if actually enforced to the letter, they would ban guns from millions of additional law-abiding Americans.
If this doesn’t bother you, how about 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(3)’s ban on marijuana smokers? Â Under Cornyn-Schumer, states would be required to turn over to the FBI medical marijuana lists, and lists of persons in diversion and medical treatment programs. Â Incidentally, the FBI still regards all of these people as federal felons.
Or what about the roughly 13% of all Brady Law denials occurring under 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(2) — a scary “fugitive” category which normally means that the person had an unpaid traffic ticket while on vacation? Â This is actually happening now, and is a major issue. Â Are we going to turn in the names of all “renegade parkers” who haven’t paid their fines?
