Bad policies make bad laws, and THIS GUN BILL [LINK] proves the point. In an effort to stem the non-existent problem of mass killings attributable to the private sales of firearms, the Left has proposed a bill that would have no deterrent effect on criminals but would ensnare a broad swath of otherwise-innocent citizens as unintentional felons.
"The bill is H.R. 8, the “bipartisan” Background Checks Act of 2019. As introduced, the legislation would mandate background checks even when a gun is temporarily transferred from one person or entity to another.
This would cover transfers of firearms with historical significance to a museum for public display, a suicidal person who asks a friend to take his guns, or an injured car accident victim who alerts an emergency responder that there is a gun in his vehicle and asks the responder to keep the gun from falling into the wrong hands when the vehicle is towed."
As you ponder the absurd consequences of the bill, keep in mind that its underlying purpose has little to do with stopping criminal activity and everything to do with furthering the broad political agenda of the Left: bigger and more invasive government, undermining traditional American culture, disarming the citizenry, and placating the Dem's emerging socialist base.
