House Democrats Plan To Criminalize Private Gun Sales
While the Democrats’ gun control push will not prevent mass shootings, it will criminalize a grandfather for passing his goose gun to his grandson without government permission. It will also criminalize a mother who gives her college-age daughter a revolver for self-defense without first getting government permission.

Democrats have promised an anti-Second Amendment agenda once they take over the House in January. Among the plethora of unconstitutional legislation, they will seek to push through is to criminalize private gun sales between individuals.
Democrats will do this by advancing a bill that will require a background check for every single gun sale. Remember, these are the same people that cry “innocent until proven guilty” when they are accused of criminal activity, but they want you and me to prove our innocence and will assume we are guilty before purchasing a gun and exercising our God-given rights to keep and bear such arms, which they are supposed to protect.
Mother Jones reports:
…legislation that echoes the Manchin-Toomey provisions has languished in the GOP-controlled Congress. Reps. Mike Thompson (D-Calif.) and Peter King (R-N.Y.) have reintroduced the measure twice in the last four years, but House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) refused to bring the bill up for a vote—even as it racked up 208 co-sponsors, including 14 Republicans.
But with Ryan leaving Congress and Democrats winning control of the House, Thompson now plans to introduce a bill that will go further than any of those earlier proposals: It will require a background check for every gun sale or transfer, regardless of who’s doing the selling or transferring. The move has been in the works since before the election, when Thompson met with outside gun reform allies like the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Everytown for Gun Safety, the Center for American Progress, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, and Giffords to talk about what they might push for if Democrats won the House.
Of course, they advocate that a high percentage of Americans want universal background checks, including those who are members of pro-Second Amendment groups.
All I have to say is that you only want that, which infringes on your rights, because you don’t advocate for real justice against violent criminals. Yes, I’m talking about the death penalty. When you don’t bring justice, you start infringing on the people’s rights.
Background checks do not and will not keep guns out of the hands of criminals.
