In light of the Newtown massacre, it may surprise you to know that recently Congress has quietly passed several gun laws to make you safer! Let's take a look. The new legislation . . .
- Forbids anyone from asking gun dealers to keep an inventory of their goods, making it impossible to know if any weapons are missing or stolen
- Instructs the ATF to be very sure that no one can use their information on the use of guns in crimes, to draw any conclusions about... the use of guns in crimes
- Locks down a broad definition of the types of weapons that are considered antiques and collectables, making it easier to buy, sell, and import these weapons and their ammunition
- Forbids the ATF from pulling a gun license from a dealer just because they don't see any legitimate business activity and suspect that the dealer is engaged in a criminal enterprise Link
Now to those who might think it's sick and disgusting to actually make it harder for law enforcement to keep guns out of the hands of criminals or the mentally ill or to make it impossible to even study the problem of gun violence following the slaughter of small children and their teachers, shut up! Because second amendment.
America! It's a wonder we made it this far!
