Do you want 👤Merrick Garland to decide if you’re eligible to own a gun every time you acquire a new firearm?
🏛️Senate🐴Democrats are pushing 🔫Gun control in the run-up to the midterms, in the form of a bill introduced on Thursday.
They’re using the Buffalo 🔫Mass shooting as a political tool, even though the gunman easily bypassed New York’s 🔫Gun control laws to attack unarmed grocery shoppers.

are introducing the Federal Firearms Licensing Act, according to
The ⚖️Law would fundamentally revise gun ownership from a right enjoyed by American citizens to a privilege bestowed by the government at its own discretion.
Acquiring or buying a new gun would require a lengthy licensing process through the Department of ⚖️Justice — every time you purchase a new firearm.
Buying a gun from a licensed firearms dealer already requires a NICS background check. Existing ⚖️Law prevents felons from buying or owning 🔫Guns.
Booker’s bill would give the ⚖️Attorney general discretion to approve or deny a federal firearms license, even if you’ve never been convicted of a crime.
The Attorney General would be able to deny a firearms license if they determined that the prospective gun owner “poses a significant danger of bodily injury to self or others” by owning a firearm.
The 🏛️Federal Government could deny Americans gun rights if they’ve ever been arrested or have a history of drug or alcohol use. They can even be denied for the “unsafe storage or handling of firearms.”
Furthermore, some could be denied a firearm because of a “recent acquisition of firearms, ammunition or other deadly weapons.”
Imagine that — getting denied by the 🏛️Federal Government to purchase a gun because you’ve previously purchased a gun.
Applicants for federal permission would also have to submit proof of taking extensive 🦺Safety classes. Learning how to properly handle firearms from your parents simply won’t cut it.
🔫Gun control is one of several issues in which public opinion has swayed away from the Democratic platform in recent years.
Attempts to ram through massive 🔫Gun control packages during Barack Obama’s presidency ended in failure for 🐴Democrats.
Making gun ownership a privilege to be bestowed by the 🏛️Federal Government rather than a right is a questionable plan to reverse 🐴Democrats’ dismal midterm prospects.
The 🔫Gun control package is all but dead in the 50-50 🏛️Senate, but 🐘Republicans hoping for a midterm 📣Campaign boost may want progressives to emphasize the federal gun license proposal as much as possible.
