You dance well, but no cigar.


Feinstein has been trying to take guns away from law abiding citizens for decades, personally her name on the bill would be the kiss of death for it, it would never pass the votes.

Government officials have always gotten special treatment as history proves.

BTW,
these are the same government officials who want to borrow money to pay the bills, but they also want to make us pay for generations to come.
Some of what they call bills are government moneys paid out to countries like Egypt, now a days we must buy our allies, this was the first country that came to mind but it is a long list.
The public is not privy to where the money goes truth be told.

I just read the proposed bill, it does allow for law enforcement and designated officials to own prohibited firearms both on and off duty. Firearms that are grandfathered in the prohibited class must also be stored at an approved firing range. Happy to be in Canada right now.

Right, like officals who are in enforcement positions. Not just any offical who wants to own one. I don't see many congressmen/women walking around with assault weapons. I think it is pretty obvious in its intent to allow officals in enforcement to have these weapons and I see nothing wrong with them having them.

Well let's see how the vote goes.

Maybe they can hide it in a farm bill attached to subsidies for tobacco.

Read the bill again, the attorney general has the ability to designate who can lawfully posses a prohibited firearm. The frame work for this particular section is pretty vague and it give the AG much more power then I would be comfortable with.

Well said,
isn't it the way of all bills to have a catch.

AG = enforcement.

GSD,

This section is very clever, it blends together and appears to be one in the same, but it isn't. The highlighted portion applies to any government entity and it fails to provide any framework for powers and limitations. The AG can arbitrarily decide how prohibited firearms can be used or distributed at any level of government. It doesn't matter if they use this section to allow government employees to be armed, the problem is they have the ability.
