I've always said that the smart-phone is the way this will be implemented.

Remember, the prophecy states that the Mark will be in the head or forehand.

To someone who had ZERO understanding of technology, a vision of someone staring at an iPhone could easily be interpreted as such /spookynuttytheory

I wonder if Mittens is on board?

Gun violence in America is not inevitable ;it's preventable There are steps Congress can , and must,take to prevent and reduce gun violence .We need our lawmakers to support common
sense gun laws that could prevent tragedies like these .


How will making more laws keep people who don't follow laws from breaking the law? My guess is outright confiscation of privately-owned firearms is the ultimate goal.

Do you want universal registration? Because that's how you get it.

President Trump
I’m going to essentially write that out. We can do that with an executive order. I’m essentially going to write it out. You won’t have to worry about bump stock. Shortly, that will be gone. We can focus on other things. Frankly, I don’t know that it would be good to have it be in this bill. We’ll have that done...

And, John, Fix NICS has some really good things in it. It would be nice if we could add everything on to it and maybe change the title, all right? The U.S. Background check bill or whatever. Your bill is really good and really important, having to do with a certain aspect. Maybe we could make it much more comprehensive and have one bill instead of 15 different bills and nobody knows what’s happening...

We have a case where can you buy a handgun at 21. This isn’t a popular thing to say in terms of the NRA but I’m going to say it anyway.

I just have to say it. You can’t buy — think of it. You can buy a handgun. You can’t buy one. You have to wait until you’re 21. You can buy the kind of weapon used in the school shooting at 18.

... I’m going to give it a lot of consideration. And I’m the one bringing it up. People aren’t bringing it up because they’re afraid to bring it up. You can’t buy a handgun at 18, 19 or 20. You have to wait until you’re 21.

So in this instance, liberals are ecstatic to have the narrative driven by highly paid CEOs of multi-million dollar businesses that thrive off of paying minimum or below minimum wages to employees.

Huh...Fancy that.

It gets sticky when it comes to Red Flag, as there are serious constitutional questions. Still, That Cruz kid in Fl, had lots of reasons to restrict his owning a firearm.

Guns and voting go together. If a person is not competent to own a gun, they shouldn't be able to vote.

How arrogant do you have to believe that Congress should give any sort of weight to the opinions of a few random corporate executives on this issue?

That said, this is just marketing for these companies.

The slippery slope that exists in the government determinations required to enforce these red flag laws should scare the hell out of people.

This type of categorization/government branding will not stop with guns. It will spread to everything, quickly.

How long before these are counterfeited and sold for $10 to anyone with cash?
Red Flag gun law is like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc in how they get to decide what is hate speech.
Who decides who is fit and who is unfit to own a gun?

What are there motivations in deciding this?
Who appoints these decision makers and how long before these laws are used against the population to disarm them?

The old saying "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns" is true.

No thanks, I will keep my 2A rights and use my guns lawfully.

‘Common sense’ gun laws.

The phrase "common sense" in front of basically any proposal is a giant red flashing light that it probably isn't "common" sense.

It's just another of the ways the fricking a-hole left tries to shut down discussion
