[Initially I erroneously labeled this thread ALL GUN SALES TO BE TRACKED. In reality it is any "transfer", not just "sales". Don't be suckered in by the spin.]If you haven't read it, the Brady Bunch has submitted their agenda to the BHO transition team.
http://www.bradycampaign.org/xshare/pdf/politics/obama-transition-memo.pdfFor this thread let's just focus on the "Gun Show Loop Hole". This is their way of forcing every gun transfer to go through NICS and be recorded. While they focus on Gun Shows, and erroneously imply that's where many criminals get their guns, this change would require EVERY gun transfer to go through NICS.
* Trade a gun with your buddy ---- NICS
* Give a gun to your son or daughter ---- NICS
* Give a gun to your wife ---- NICS
* Pass away and will your weapons to your family ---- NICS
Your family could unwittingly become FEDERAL FELONS, if they failed to have each and every gun transferred after your death. Many questions arise in this example. How long does the estate have to execute the transfer? If there's no provision for such, then technically the surviving family members (spouse) are felons the moment you die? Who "holds" the weapons in the mean time. What if they forget about one or discover it later? And if the heir doesn't pass NICS will the "trustee" be allowed to sell the firearms at market value on behalf of the estate? Or will it become property of the state? TOO BAD YOU LOOSE.
Other sticky areas include provisions for incapacitation. Who "owns" the guns when you are in a comma? Or just having an operation? Can there be joint ownership? What if your wife uses your gun to defend herself? Did she just perform a transfer without NICS?
NOW, and it gets worse, combine that with the repeal of the ban on record keeping, AND what you have is registration of ALL guns after 50-60 years. People (your children) found with a weapon not entered in NICS become felons. And don't think that Brady, et-al will be satisfied to wait 50-60 years. After their current proposals pass they will add complete registration to their list. I wouldn't be surprised if they're hoping for a 10 year time frame, if not less. Get these provisions passed and effective by say 3/1, then wait for some tragedy to come along then push for complete registration. Could be pushing for it by 1/1/2010.
Write your congress critter. Write your newspaper. Spread the word. Educate those shooters who think Brady is only after those ugly black rifles and won't affect them.
