Senator Fauxcahontas Warren, the wannabe-commie dictator out for genocide through mandated “carbon-free” (not -neutral, -free) energy and housing, has decided to start with the Gun Culture. Her horrific gun people control bill ( SB 3254) has everything a police state tyrant could possibly want, including the neutered kitchen sink. How bad is it? Well, her House co-conspirator is high-on-helium Hank “Tippy” Johnson, noted loon and midget/giant cage match fan.
I could write pages about Warren’s “assault weapon” ban, but let’s just say that unless your semi-auto rifle somehow made it onto the approved list, it’s most likely banned. All it takes is that it can accept a detachable magazine and one of several other features. The kicker is that “pistol grip” is one of them. And what, pray tell is a pistol grip?
‘‘(46) The term ‘pistol grip’ means a grip, a thumb-hole stock or Thordsen-type grip or stock, or any other characteristic that can function as a grip.
If you can hold it, it has a grip.
There is a grandfather clause for existing arms lawfully possessed.
There’s so much more in that bill that I cannot cover it all in less than the 260 pages of the original. But I do want to address the new universal firearm owner licensing part.
‘‘§ 932. License to own firearms and ammunition ‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—Except otherwise provided in this section, it shall be unlawful for any individual who is not licensed under this section to knowingly purchase, acquire, or possess a firearm or ammunition.
Elsewhere, I have written about the new tactic adopted by gun-controlling victim-disarmers: writing laws that make compliance impossible. This is yet another effing example. This license would have a training requirement, which includes a written test on law, and a “hands-on testing, including firing testing”. That “Except otherwise provided” does not include an exception for license training and testing; therefore possessing a firearm in a class or test to obtain a license would be illegal. No license = no gun = no test = no license.
While those currently in lawful possession of firearms do not require a license for those firearms, you’ll still need to get a license for any newly acquired firearm first. But new owners? Not anymore. Gun ownership would lawfully end with this generation.
Assuming you’ve jumped through all the fake Indian’s and Georgian village idiot’s hoops, the license is still may issue. On top of all the usual prohibited person restrictions, they added another qualifier: “unsuitability.” This is… similar to “red flag” orders. If the ATF doesn’t want to issue a license, they go to a judge and tell them your aren’t suitable and -gavel bam- you’re a prohibited person.
Where “unsuitability” differs from a “red flag” order is in the standard of evidence. ERPOs require an unsubstantiated allegation — no proof required, because proof would be grounds for an arrest anyway — that a person currently poses a possible threat to himself or others.
“Unsuitability” actually manages to limbo its way below that.

Did you ever criticize Warren or Johnso… Wait. Did you ever not criticize either of those moronic motherhumpers?
Or, as an astonishingly ignorant psycho (don’t click that unless you can spare the brain cells) emailed me a couple of days ago:
“Those who really really want a gun are the very ones who really really should not be able to get a gun.”
— rackjite
I’m sure you’ve heard that sentiment — that anyone who wants a gun is unsuitable to have one.
Or… I’ve publicly related stories of times when muggers decided I was a threat to them sufficient to decide to run away. I’ve demonstrated that I’m potentially a threat to the Democrats’ core constituency. No license for me.
What about you?
