We can’t say they didn’t warn US.
As the politicians and their marketers keep US enthralled not walled with the circus like rhetoric they use to talk around this Country’s lack of security, the democrats continue to push their death by disarmament campaign and display their UNcanny ability to pick up republican support as their enslaving America effort marches on UNceasingly.
From https://www.npr.org/2019/02/27/698512397/house-passes-most-significant-gun-bill-in-2-decades
…The vote on the first bill, dubbed the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, passed largely along party lines 240 to 190 with Democrats who control the House cheering as they carried the legislation across the finish line.
A second bill, expected to be taken up Thursday, would extend the period federal authorities have to complete a background check before a gun sale can go through. Under current law, if a check isn’t finalized in three business days, the transaction can automatically proceed
As its name suggests, the first bill did garner modest GOP support, even attracting five Republican co-sponsors. Yet, in the end, only eight Republicans crossed party lines to support the bill.
In a statement John Feinblatt, president of the anti-gun violence group Everytown for Gun Safety, praised lawmakers for “stepping up.”
“We applaud Speaker Pelosi and the bipartisan coalition of House members who supported this bill for stepping up and doing their part to close the giant — and deadly — loopholes in America’s background checks law.”
Here is a list of restricted ‘loopholes’ Feinblatt believes will make the old law new again:
1. An amendment by Mr. Sensenbrenner amending section 3 to add a provision that would exempt from the bill’s background check requirement a transfer to an individual who is the holder of a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm, which has been issued by a state was defeated by a rollcall vote of 13 to 21.
2. An amendment by Mr. Gohmert amending section 3 to add a provision that would exempt the exchange of firearms from the bill’s background check requirement was defeated by a rollcall vote of 12 to 17.
3. An amendment by Mr. Gaetz to require the Attorney General to promulgate regulations to cap the amount a firearms dealer may charge at zero dollars for any transfer for which the background check is not complete within 24 hours and is ultimately approved was defeated by a rollcall vote of 15 to 18.
4. An amendment by Mr. Chabot amending section 3 to add an exemption from the bill’s background check requirement to allow a transfer to a law enforcement officer who is authorized to carry a firearm as part of his employment was defeated by a rollcall vote of 9 to 19.
5. An amendment by Mr. Johnson of Louisiana eliminating from the bill’s background check requirement certain requirements for a temporary transfer of a firearm to qualify under the bill’s exemptions was defeated by a rollcall vote of 11 to 18.
6. An amendment by Mr. Biggs adding a new section to the bill expressing a Sense of Congress that rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution should not be hampered by financial restrictions or constraints on the exercise of those rights; that the exercise of citizens’ Second Amendment rights must not be abridged or restricted
by burdensome payments or delays in the conduct of background checks for lawful firearms transfers; and that financial constraints have no place in the exercise of constitutional rights in that a citizen’s right to bear arms, just like a citizen’s right to vote, must not be qualified by the ability to pay a certain sum of money in order to exercise those rights was defeated by a rollcall vote of 13 to 20.
7. An amendment by Mr. Steube requiring regulations promulgated pursuant to section 922 of title 18, as amended by this measure, to require notification to the field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the local law enforcement agency, the state law enforcement agency; and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
in the case of a person illegally or unlawfully in the United States was defeated by a rollcall vote of 14 to 20.
8. An amendment by Mrs. Lesko, as amended by Mr. Gaetz, to add an exemption from the bill’s background check requirement for a transfer to a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault who is to be protected under an order of protection issued by a court of law was defeated by a rollcall vote of 15 to 19.
9. An amendment by Mr. Reschenthaler to add an exemption from the bill’s background check requirement for a transfer by an individual who, by his or her own determination, may be a risk to himself or herself or others to a person who is not prohibited by federal law from receiving a firearm was defeated by a rollcall vote
of 15 to 20.
10. An amendment by Mr. Armstrong to add an exemption for a temporary transfer of a firearm for the purpose of hunting, trapping, fishing, ranching, farming, or target practice from the bill’s background check requirement, and eliminating provisions of the temporary transfer section that require transferors to have no reason
to believe that the transferee will use the firearm in a place where that is illegal and the transferor has reason to believe that the transferee will abide by all licensing and permit requirements for such hunting, trapping, and fishing; or the transferee will use the firearm in the transferor’s presence was defeated by a rollcall
vote of 15 to 23.

Additionally, section 3 would authorize the Attorney General to promulgate any necessary regulations to implement this legislation.
Promulgate. Democrats use that word to convince people they are required to give the democrats their brains first then their balls and then their money. Not necessarily in that order nor Constitutional.
Here is the link to https://www.congress.gov/116/crpt/hrpt11/CRPT-116hrpt11.pdf. I suggest you scroll on down to the Dissenting Views portion first. It’s about 3/4’s of the way down the page. You can’t miss it.
The opposition’s views make me believe they are not the kind of Republicans who will side with the democrats when the time comes. The democrats planned attack on the Second Amendment is one I’m certain they have much faith in and the Republican reach-a-rounds will, after their phony BS soul-searching, announce they, in good conscience, are willing to stab the citizens in the back once more and support the weapons collection.
Read it. This new gun control act is phonier than Boeing’s ‘we like social justice warriors’ flight enticements. I’m figuring the democrats are going to stage their background psychotic events again and again as the new wave, newly elected Soros leftists introduce increasingly draconian gun laws in, excuse the pun, rapid fire succession injecting higher levels of mayhem into the process until their demands are acceptable to the RINO’s who will finally respond to the bipartisan dog whistle and sell this Country down the river faster than an Ethiopian landing.
Just trying to get up to speed with the enemy.
