Welcome to the I-594 "common sense background checks" [View all]

You know when word gets out that it is much more than background checks, there will be a lot of very pissed off voters. And as with most gun control laws, it simply will not apply to criminals... It is settled law that "complying" with registering a criminal's gun amounts to "self incrimination"...The supreme court said so in "Haynes vs U.S."



But not to worry, technically, it will be so easy to become a felon under the new law that not many gun owners will be able to vote
