Ms. Harris said that, if elected, she would sign an executive order mandating background checks for customers of any firearms dealer who sells more than five guns a year. The executive actions would also include more strident regulation of gun manufacturers that could result in revoked licenses or prosecution, as well as an attempt to close the loophole that allows some domestic abusers to purchase guns if their victim is an unwedded partner.
I know some people have a knee jerk reaction to anything proposed by Democrats but they're better ideas than banning bump stocks.
1. It seems reasonable to categorize somebody selling more than five guns a year as a gun dealer. Texas requires a car dealer license if you sell five or more cars in a year.
2. I have no problem with ATF enforcing current laws on manufacturers and revoking licenses for significant violations. I would hope this happens already but maybe it's more work than online sting operations for freeze plugs and solvent traps.
3. I'm not sure what she's talking about here. Somebody can be convicted of domestic violence if they're not married to their victim. If somebody has a DV conviction, they're already disqualified unless they're a protected class, and I have no problem with eliminating that loophole.
Ridiculous, doesn't matter if you like them or not, implementing new law such as this through an EO is unconstitutional,
Like Trump's bump stock ban? Has it been overturned? Has the supreme court granted cert or a stay pending a final ruling?
1. There's already federal law requiring gun dealers to have an FFL. There's nothing stopping BATFE from making an administrative ruling "clarifying" the definition of what it means to be “engaged in the business” and need a FFL.
2. There's already federal law regarding gun manufacturers and gun dealers. Enforcement is a duty of the executive branch.
3. There's already federal law banning access to firearms by people convicted of crimes of domestic violence. (the Lautenberg Amendment)
Making bumpstocks illegal simply required changing a few words in a regulation already put in place under existing statutes.
Calling bump stocks machine guns is like putting a rock in an oven and calling it a biscuit.
