7/5/18: BLOOMBERG: "Let the Firearms Tracing Center Do Its Job" Bloomberg minions, including Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy, want to create an IMMEDIATE REGISTRY OF FIREARMS OWNERS by circumvention existing law forbidding it! The agents pursue this task in the most inefficient, wasteful and time-consuming manner imaginable, manually searching records — about 800 million of them — because federal law purportedly prevents the center from organizing them into a searchable digital database. This absurd prohibition needs to be lifted. The law, the 1986 Firearms Owners’ Protection Act, resulted from a marriage of ideological rigidity and political cowardice. It expressly prohibits “any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or dispositions.” Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy, a gun owner from Vermont, said, “We cannot let a baseless conspiracy theory drive our public-safety policies.”	"Let the Firearms Tracing Center Do Its Job"

4/11/17: New York Times "Fortunately, some statehouses whose members defend gun ownership seem interested in improving public safety.In Vermont, the House passed a bill last month to allow the police to confiscate temporarily the firearms of people accused of domestic abuse. This is a grave problem nationally. The bill would let officers take guns away for up to five days after heated domestic incidents, even if a firearm was not involved. “This to me isn’t about guns, per se,” said Representative Chip Conquest, a gun-rights advocate. “It’s about protecting people at a time when we know they’re particularly vulnerable from a weapon that we know is often used.” The New York Times calling Chip Conquest a "a gun-rights advocate" is like calling Colonel Sanders a "chicken advocate"!

But, we are told that's not what they want to do... "Other states have found creative ways around the gun storage issue. In Vermont, a law (H.735, 2013) orders the state’s department of public safety to create a list of facilities where offenders can store their firearms and a fee schedule for using the service. Those fees are paid to the law enforcement agency, which can also take out a loan to build more space for the guns. The law also releases all offices of liability from damage to the firearms if they’re stored properly."

1/1/17: American Liberty Report "California Gun Totalitarianism" SIX NEW ANTI-GUN BILLS PASSED INTO LAW IN CALIFORNIA: 1.California Can CONFISCATE High-Capacity Magazines Any magazines holding more than 10 bullets will be deemed illegal and will be subject to seizure if the government is aware that an owner has them in their possession. Current owners must turn in such magazines to state authorities. 2.All Ammunition Sales Will Be Recorded and Require Identification and a Background Check Anyone selling ammunition must be licensed to do so, and all ammunition sales must be reported to the state. 3.No Guns Will Be Allowed to Be Sold with a “Bullet Button” In the future, guns with so-called “bullet buttons” — which enable spent magazines to be quickly ejected and new magazines to be inserted in a fluid motion using a small tool or the tip of a bullet — will be made illegal. Guns that already have the devices in place will still be legal to possess — as long as owners register them with state authorities as “assault weapons” within one year of the law taking effect. No new firearms with this feature will be allowed to be sold in California. 4.Penalties for False Stolen Gun Reports Will Be Increased Filing a false police report about a stolen gun will be considered a misdemeanor. In addition, the original purchaser would be prohibited from buying another firearm for 10 years. 5.Background Checks Will Be Required for Gun Loans If a gun is loaned to someone besides a close relative of its owner, background checks, fees and waiting periods for both persons would be required (upon the loan and the return of the weapon). 6.All Semi-Automatic Rifles Will Be Considered “Assault Weapons” California will reclassify all legal semiautomatic rifles as “assault weapons” under the new legislation. The laws would cover hundreds of thousands of existing guns. These laws may simply be a prelude to a total ban on all semi-automatic rifles in the state of California.

8/18/2016: Reuters "Venezuela crushes 2,000 guns in public, plans registry of bullets" THE TRUTH ABOUT THE 'PERFECT' SOCIALIST COUNTRY, GUN CONTROL = HIGEST CRIME Venezuelan police crushed and chopped up nearly 2,000 shotguns and pistols in a Caracas city square on Wednesday, as the new interior minister relaunched a long-stalled gun control campaign in one of the world's most crime-ridden countries. Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said the event marked the renewal of efforts to disarm Venezuelans, through a combination of seizures and a voluntary program to swap guns for electrical goods. Venezuela has the world's second highest murder rate and the street gangs that plague its poor neighborhoods have become increasingly heavily armed in recent years, at a time when a deep recession has reduced resources available to police. "We are going to bring disarmament and peace," Interior Minister Nestor Reverol told reporters. "Venezuela has also bought laser technology to mark ammunition, Reverol said, in an attempt to keep a registry of the bullets given out to the South American nation's many state and municipal police forces."

How Hawaii manages to be home to both a rising number of firearms and rock-bottom rates of gun violence." Listen to this bullshit from Michael Bloomberg's rag website! He says Hawaii has among the lowest suicide rates in the country. Statistics from the American Association of Suicidology shows that in 2012, Hawaii was ranked #28 while Vermont was ranked #27. Annual rankings change EVERY YEAR, fluctuate wildly, and unless there is a long-term trend, mean NOTHING! The biggest take-away is that ALL FIREARMS ARE REGISTERED in Hawaii. "State law, for starters, requires a universal background check for all firearm sales. Citizens are required to obtain a permit and sit through a two-week waiting period before making a purchase, and they must register any firearm they buy. Registration itself is a multi-step process that can lead prospective gun owners on as many as five separate trips to either a police station or gun retailer. Permits for concealed-carry, meanwhile, are issued at the discretion of the state’s county police chiefs, who set a high bar ... In short: Background checks, waiting periods, elaborate registration guidelines, and strict limits on concealed-carry permits combine to seriously vet prospective gun owners, and limit impulse and illegal purchases."
