What was that line about A right delayed…?
The Dims are at it again. Rep. Elissa Slotkin [Dumbass-MI-7] has filed a federal waiting period bill, H. R. 2392 To require a seven-day waiting period before the receipt of a firearm.
Unlike the old Brady Bill waiting period, this one isn’t limited to purchases from FFLs, nor is it just five days
SEC. 2. 7-DAY WAITING PERIOD REQUIRED BEFORE THE RECEIPT OF A FIREARM.
(a) Prohibition.—Section 922 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
“(aa) (1) It shall be unlawful for any person, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, to transfer a firearm to a person not licensed under this chapter unless at least 7 calendar days have elapsed since the transferee most recently offered to take possession of the firearm.
Any person, any transfer, with very few exceptions; all temporary.
“(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to a temporary transfer if the transferor has no reason to believe that the transferee will use or intends to use the firearm in a crime or is prohibited from possessing firearms under State or Federal law, and the transfer takes place and the transferee’s possession of the firearm is exclusively—
At a range, hunting, or if the owner is physically present the whole time.
There are no exceptions for family members, not even for inheriting family heirlooms when granddad dies.
How exactly this would be enforced is left unexplained. It would seem to require complete firearm/owner registration (not in the bill), or an army of ATF agents swarming the country to make entrapping private purchases.
Seeing as how they still haven’t figured out how to get blackmarket dealers in stolen guns to comply with background check requirements, this seems unlikely to do anything about real malum in se crime.
Not that it’s really meant to.
It’s probably worth noting that this bill is co-sponsored by New Hampshire’s own Ann Kuster, who may be the stupidest member of Congress whose impairment isn’t obviously due to physical damage, or over-medication.

The stupidest member of congress? You are not setting the bar very high, are you? I mean, have you ever listened to some of the things that come out of the mouths of our duly elected members of congress? Things like worrying about Guam flipping over if we get too much weight on it’s top, or encouraging the members of the public to impede other members of congress from buying gasoline or even eat in restaurants?
Or perhaps my personal favorite, we have to pass the bill in order to find out what is in the bill.
And it is easy for these cretins to put these bills up when they know that the house is controlled by Republicans. They are just pandering to their base, when they know that these thing don’t stand a snowballs chance in a hot day of making it anywhere near the president’s desk. Just like the Republicans did with the Obamacare repeals crap that they sent to his desk, knowing that he would never sign it. But the minute that Trump took over the Oval Office, and asked for them to send that same legislation to him, they got amnesia, and could not remember the guts to do anything about it.
It seems like Paul Ryan knew that once you give the people something free, you can never take it back, no matter how poor of a policy it is, or how untenable it is fiscally.
I hope that there are enough people in America that see things like we do, and understand the way the game is played in Washington, and who realize that politics is dirty and that the only way to win it to not play. Kind of like what we are doing in the Ukraine right now. Does anyone who actually has a brain really think that we do not have boots on the ground in areas that are in dispute right at this very minute? Because I for one do not think that we are sending our most advanced weapons systems to them without also sending our people to operate them, keeping other nations hands out of the loop of how they actually work. Because one thing our military leaders have to understand is that if Russia eventually takes Ukraine, they get our weapons, and the trained personnel who know how to operate them.
Sometimes, discretion is the better part of valor. And keeping your nose out of things that are not your business is the wisest move. I thought we had learned that in southeast Asia. We lost some 50,000 lives there defending the Vietnamese over a war that was not ours. What do we have to lose now to learn the same lesson?
obviously due to physical damage, or over-medication.
Tippy Johnson’s issues appear to be due to substance abuse related brain damage, and — by his own staff’s admission — over use of prescription drugs.
Pelosi: alcohol
I used to live in Annie Kuster’s district. Believe me: she’s naturally stupid, even without any additional damage/drugs.
