US Senate Gun Legislation Agreement
-
From the CNN article:
"What lawmakers left out
Expanded background checksNotably, the agreement doesn’t include a provision that would expand background checks for all firearm sales or transfers in the country. Currently, background checks are not required for gun sales and transfers by unlicensed and private sellers.
Democrats have long supported such a requirement, and last year the House passed gun legislation that would expand background checks on all commercial gun sales, marking the first congressional move on significant gun control since Democrats won the White House and the majority in both chambers of Congress.
Assault weapons ban
Also left out is a federal ban on military-style assault weapons, another measure Democrats have been pushing in recent years, citing mass shootings that have involved such weapons.
Higher minimum age of purchase
Additionally, the agreement doesn’t include a change to the age at which a person needs to be to purchase an assault-style weapon. Democrats, including West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, the chamber’s most conservative Democrat, have said the age to purchase assault weapons must be raised from 18 to 21.

What, exactly is "military-style assault weapons?" Wasn't that ban on scary-looking guns enacted in 1994 with zero effect on gun deaths?
I have no problem with many of the other provisions (and I say that as someone who owns zero firearms). But, as I alluded in another thread, pandering is easy, governing is hard.

You can't regulate individual-to-individual sales. It's impossible. You can enforce laws such as no felon having a firearm in his possession (if you catch him) or other laws.

Sure you can. It’s long past time for gun owners to be licensed. That solves ALOT of the background check problems. Instead of requiring the seller to run background checks, that’s handled by the state game and wildlife department. That way, if I’m selling you my .38 that I don’t need anymore, I don’t need to run a background check. I take a scan of your license and register the sale on the state site… Easier than privately selling a car…

That sounds like infringement to me.
Arms are not a cars.
Arms are enshrined, they have a special place in our country. And they have served us well.

Licensing is the first step to confiscation.
No go. Period.

That's because you're a brainwashed left winger.

BTW, that punt gun is Mickey Mouse. I knew some coonasses down near Dulac, that homemade a cannon out of three-inch Schedule 80 pipe wrapped in piano wire, with the wire silver soldered. They'd load that sucker with Pyrodex and any bits of metal they could find...Busted up pieces of old cast-iron stoves, roofing tacks, small bolts, etc.
The cannon was tied down to a fourteen foot bateaux. To point the gun, you pointed the boat. You only got one shot, so you took it before daylight while the ducks were still rafting out on the water. All that metal would land among them and skip.
You might kill five or six dozen a shot.
