Subject: What is really in Background Check bill? Read it before you pass it.

  Remember the media said 90% of Americans favor this bill.  My guess is that 99% of the 90% never read the bill, only heard what the idiots in DC and NY wanted them to hear.  Never trust a government program to be what the title reads.

    The "most popular" part of the defeated-but-sure-to-come back Senate gun control bill (background checks) sounds like a good idea at first but is more restrictive than anyone anticipated and will have significant unintended consequences. Common activities that we take for granted will become federal crimes. These are not irresponsible exaggerations. Please take a moment to review the requirements of the bill.  Here are a few examples of the restrictions in the bill:
    EXAMPLE #1
    Loaning your buddy a shotgun for a duck hunting trip will be considered a transfer. If the following requirements are not met, YOU HAVE BOTH COMMITTED A FEDERAL CRIME.
    1. He must have already purchased his hunting license
    2. Season is already open (and will not close before he returns it)
    3. He cannot travel with the firearm through a county where season is not yet open or any area where hunting is prohibited and certainly not across a state line.
    He CANNOT stop by your house on the day before season opens, pick up the shot gun, go to the sporting goods store to buy a license and shells then drive out to the hunting lease. In this scenario, YOU BOTH WOULD HAVE COMMITTED MULTIPLE FEDERAL CRIMES, YOUR WEAPONS WILL BE FORFEITED AND YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR RIGHT TO BUY OR OWN A FIREARM.
    EXAMPLE #2
    It appears that only you may relocate your weapons. If your weapon leaves your home without you, the new legislation considers it a transfer of possession. ALL transfers require going through a firearms dealer, paying the transfer fee and a background check for the transferee.
    Putting the weapon, even temporarily in someone else's possession, requires a transfer through a dealer. There is no exception for putting them in a friend's truck while moving to your new house or packing them unloaded, locked in a gunsafe into a moving truck.
     
    Any scenario in which your weapon leaves your home without you is considered a transfer. Failure to properly transfer the weapon is a federal crime which can result in a prison term AND WILL RESULT IN THE FORFEITURE OF YOUR WEAPON.
    In the scenario above, your buddy's truck was used to commit a federal crime and WILL BE CONFISCATED just like with current Fish and Game violations.
    EXAMPLE #3
    Infractions as above which involve 2 guns of any type are considered weapons trafficking. You will be prosecuted under the same federal laws as a terrorist arms dealer.
    EXAMPLE #4
    Any of the infractions above (or hundreds of other routine scenarios) may result in federal charges, confiscation of ALL your weapons and being prohibited, like all felons, from ever owning a weapon again.
    Please read the text of the bill yourself. Most of it is boring legalese but the sections on transfers and trafficking are critical.
    Take a minute to think about all the routine activities like those above that will make you a federal criminal and result in prison time plus the confiscation of your weapons and other property.
    A link to the bill is included below on the official Senate website. See Section 122 "Firearms Transfers".
    http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c113:S.649:
    Read it and call your congressman's office. Talk to their staff. Tell them how you feel about this.
    Keep in mind, none of the above would have stopped the tragedy's in Columbine or Newtown . The proposed law makes you a criminal and opens the door for confiscation of your weapons and property for otherwise routine activities.
     Think and act. Congress is hoping that you will do neither.
     If you found the patience to read the entire text, you also learned that exactly $100 million per year of your tax money is set aside to enforce these restrictions.
      Finally, please forward this to your friends who may be affected. (I just forwarded it to 140 people)

It's the government, it's all about reading what they fail to tell you themselves. The screwing is always in the details...

If you own a gun, join the NRA.

Even if you don't, join anyway to express your wishes. While you're at it, stop banking at places that have canceled lines of credit for gun manufacturers

 :212-    AWESOME info Proten!  :259- :259- :259-

I completely Agree!!!  :212- :205- :259-

90% eh? How many of us have been polled? Not I.   How many criminals will approve being ran for a check? The guy that was at fault in Dec was denied a firearm sale days before the event. The system works enforce current laws rather than passing knee jerk bs feel good laws on top of ones you cannot keep up with.  How many background checks where done on the guns given to the mexican drug runners by obama and his crew for fast and furious that included the death of a U.S. border patrol agent?

This need a Big Bump

GREAT INFO -I HAVE READ IT PRIOR TO THIS POST .
THIS IS JUST MY OPINION EVERYTHING WRITTEN IN THIS POST
IT  BOILS DOWN TO GUNS DONT KILL PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT HANDS
HUNTERS -COLLECTORS -LAW ENFORCEMENT -ETC ..
READ BETWEEN THE LINES ..
use the current "common sense" statistics below !

 Death caused by  daily auto accidents -daily accidents of any type including --falling down -drownings- electrocutions -
- public transportation >> accidents -airplanes -trains -subways -boating -bussing--
 alarming #'s of  miss diagnosed health issues by Dr's kill thousands yearly .

This is only a quick reply to the post above  that I feel strongly against this "background check" ever passing!
it needs to be be made more public fast  & the back ground check bill  needs to be totally re written -
since it does have so many holes for the average person to fall into and become a felon on a daily basis .
  with all this said guns play a small % of death in our modern day society .
Try to take guns   away ? you will see the revolution televised on CNN .
