7 Anti-Gun Bills You Didnt Know AboutMay 30th 2012

Remember the good old days when we generally knew which politicians were bad on gunrights? Bill Clinton had foolishly convinced his colleagues that you could vote for a gun banand remain in office or even win political favor. How wrong they turned out to be. In the wakeof the Clinton assault weapons ban, a pro-gun revolution swept both houses of Congress.Even Clinton acknowledged the role of the NRA and gun owners in turning the tide, and hed

later credit them with Al Gores defeat.

The anti-gunners had learned their lesson. Now they quite literally camouflage their views bycalling themselves lifelong hunters. They claim to respect the Second Amendment, but justwant to impose a few common sense restrictions you know, like bans on semi-auto rifles,right-to-carry permits and gun shows. They are cautious in their approach, and even whenthey push overtly anti-gun bills, they often do so quietly, in an attempt to avoid drawingunnecessary attention from those of us who value our rights.

But this piece exposes them. Here are the top seven anti-gun bills that youve never heard of.

S. 176: "Common Sense Concealed Firearms Permit Act of 2011"

Sponsor: Barbara Boxer (D-California.)

Common sense restrictions seems to be a buzzword for the anti-gun crowd these days.After all, who would oppose common sense? Problem is, they think banning guns is commonsense. S. 176would establish minimum standards for states that allow the carrying ofconcealed firearms. If you arent familiar with Barbara Boxers actions on gun control, trustus, you dont want her determining what hoops you must jump through to exercise a

constitutional right.

H.R. 308: Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act

Sponsor: Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.)

You have to hand it to Congresswoman McCarthy. Even aftercompletely humiliating herselfwhen asked why she wanted to ban a firearm accessory, shes still pushing gun control. Herlatest bill would ban the sale and even the possession oflarge capacity magazines, whichMcCarthy considers to be anything that holds 10 or more rounds.

H.R. 4063: Guns-Free National Parks Act

Sponsor: James McDermott (D-Wash.)

An amendment to the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009gave you the right to carry a firearm in a national park, provided you have a concealed-carrypermit for the appropriate state. And why not, given that two-legged and four-legged predatorscan both be encountered in the wilderness. In fact, just days after the bill was signed into law,armed citizens in national parks used guns to fend off attacks by humans as well as wildlife .But Congressman McDermott believes he knows best for you and that youre safer unarmed.How about the congressman keeps his fantasy and we keep our Rugers?

S. 35: Gun Show Background Check Act

Sponsor: Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.)

OK, so youve probably heard about this one. The desire of anti-gun politicos to impose

background checks on private sales at gun shows is no secret, but the true intent is. Forcingprivate citizens to conduct background checks would jeopardize gun shows very existence.Lautenberg knows this, and hed love to see it become reality.


S. 436: Fix Gun Checks Act

Sponsor: Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)

Not to be outdone by an anti-gun comrade, good ole Schumer takes Lautenbergs gun showlegislation even further Schumers bill would impose a background check on any gun transferor sale for any purpose, public or private. Even if we pretend for a moment that bad guys gettheir guns from legitimate people who would actually comply with this law, the inconvenienceand financial burden for gun owners and collectors would be unbearable.

H.R. 227: Child Gun Safety and Gun Access Prevention Act

Sponsor: Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Texas)

We all want to keep children safe, but most gun owners believe they can best handle teachingtheir children gun safety without government interference. Jackson-Lees bill would ban thepossession of handguns and semi-auto rifles (which she of course refers to as assault rifles

in her bill) by anyone under 21. In other words, a 20-year-old man could go to war for hiscountry, but back home he wouldnt be allowed to exercise the rights he fought to defend. Thebill would also impose rules regarding how you store firearms in your home, and prosecuteyour failure to comply.


H. Res. 612: Repeal "Stand Your Ground"

Sponsor: Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.)

The Trayvon Martin trial hasnt even commenced yet, but already anti-gun politicians areexploiting the controversy surrounding his death to promote gun control. Cleavers resolution(it wouldnt create any laws, but it would send a strong message) honors the life of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin and urges Florida and other states to repeal their Stand Your GroundLaws.
