Seriously...in all honesty...what are these people thinking?
Democratic Senators have introduced new gun control legislation that would, among other things, institute a federal license requirement to buy a gun.
Democratic New Jersey Senators Bod Menendez and Cory Booker, and Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal introduced the "Federal Firearm Licensing Act" Thursday. The bill would institute a requirement for gun purchasers to obtain a firearms license through the Department of Justice before buying or receiving a gun.
Through the...through the Department of Justice??
Legit question: What mind-bending, hallucinogenic drugs were the Senate aides smoking when they drafted this??
Under the law, the attorney general would have to approve or deny applications within 30 days, and notify state and local officials of every application. If approved, licenses would be made available at a "designated local office." Each individual license would be valid to buy one firearm, to be purchased within 30 days of issuance. The licenses would expire five years after the issuance date. The law would also allow the attorney general to deny or revoke the license of anyone he deems "poses a significant danger of bodily injury to self or others by possessing, purchasing, or receiving a firearm." The bill also includes a provision in which the law would not apply in states that have licensing processes "with substantially similar requirements."
In addition, the bill makes it illegal to transfer a gun to any person without first being transferred to a licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer. It also makes it illegal to sell or transfer a gun to an unlicensed person.
