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.
