Brady Campaign's "Sweet 17" Gun Control Laws
 
Friday, March 04, 2011
 

On Monday, the 17th anniversary of the Brady Act, the Brady Campaign issued a news release calling for -- what else? -- 17 gun laws. (Actually it called for 20, doubling up a few of them to fit in with the catchy "17" gimmick.) The 20 laws are these:

1. Prohibit private sales and other transfers of firearms

2. Prohibit people on the FBI's secret "terrorist watchlist" from possessing firearms and prevent them from challenging their listing in a fair and open hearing in court

3. Prohibit standard ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, which the Brady Campaign now calls "Big Bullet Blasting Boxes"

4. Repeal the law that prohibits bogus lawsuits seeking multi-million-dollar judgments against the firearm industry when criminals misuse firearms

5. Repeal the law that prevents anti-gun groups from compromising legitimate police investigations by disclosing sensitive firearm trace data and using it to sue firearm manufacturers and dealers

6. Prohibit the ownership of a firearm without a license

7. Prohibit the purchase of an unregistered firearm

8. Require gun owners to report lost or stolen guns

9. Use federal taxpayer dollars to conduct anti-gun research (we can worry about the deficit later on)

10. Repeal the law that prohibits the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from using federal funds to conduct anti-gun research (hundreds of thousands of people die of diseases every year, but let's focus on guns instead)

11. Prohibit multiple purchases of firearms

12. Give the BATFE more authority to revoke dealer licenses

13. Repeal the law that requires the FBI to destroy the records of approved background checks within 24 hours (you can't register guns without records, after all)

14. Create "new technologies" for gun tracing -- which probably means "microstamping" requirements for new handguns

15. Require guns to be made with "smart" gun technology that no one wants, and few could afford

16. Require dealers to install security systems (presumably designed by the Brady Campaign)

17. Require dealers to run NICS checks on their employees

18. Prohibit dealers who go out of business from transferring firearms to their personal collections

19. Prohibit the possession of firearms by people convicted of "violent" misdemeanors -- continuing the desire to lower the bar and prohibit more and more people from possessing guns for minor offenses

20. Prohibit the possession of firearms by people convicted of violent offenses as juveniles

16. Require dealers to install security systems (presumably designed by the Brady Campaign)

17. Require dealers to run NICS checks on their employees

16, they are already required to have a "safe" or other secure storage area... guess what, no comm'l insurance company will touch you with a alarm.  so this is complete wastefull and will do nothing.  besides by the time the police show up the cirmals are already gone.

17.  no dealer would hire some one that they knew could not pass the back ground check.  You can fail the back ground check if you have a parking ticket you never took care of.  as "failure to appear" will make you a "fugative from justice"

20. Prohibit the possession of firearms by people convicted of violent offenses as juveniles 
 

this one I kind of agree with, but not fully.  Its going to depend on what they did.  A kid getting cuaght taging( which in most states is a $$$ ammount before it becomes a felony, in ca its $400) or having a fire work, they are ok.  Some thing like robbery, or felony assult, sexual assult... etc etc.  your done.

Haz needs to take a chill pill before reading this one.


Here's my latest from the well informed folks at HCI.

Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence
-----------------------------

WHO NEEDS TO FIRE MORE THAN 10 ROUNDS?

We don't know how many lives could have been saved that day in Tucson if only 10 bullets had been fired before the shooter tried to reload -- perhaps the Federal Judge, the congressional aide, or the 9 year-old girl.

The fact is the Tucson killer was able to purchase a high capacity ammunition magazine, which allowed him to fire 32 bullets in 16 seconds.

*****************************
TELL CONGRESS: "BAN THE ASSAULT CLIP"

Watch the video.  Sign the petition:
Ask 32 of your friends to do the same!

*****************************

You deserve to be protected from these weapons of war.  There is no reason anyone needs more than 10 rounds in their ammunition magazines.

The only people who want to shoot 32 bullets in 16 seconds are the last people who should.

Sincerely,
Paul Helmke, President
Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence

7. Prohibit the purchase of an unregistered firearm

,,will be hard to enforce;, register some Moisin-Nagant, Enfield, Mauser,...please... What about unregistered family collections that get handed down? Those are NOT registered, and are going to stay that way...

12. Give the BATFE more authority to revoke dealer licenses
* Seems, they have too much authority now...

These folks suck.

Hinckley shot the wrong Brady.
This is just like Carolyn McCarthy, some bitch cashing in on the bullet in her old man.

Sarah Brady has SLIGHTLY more credibility, only due to the fact that she and Jim were, (unlike the McCarthys) still living together when Jim got shot.
