After reading about the gang of 16 turncoat Republicans that voted with the Democrats to allow Harry Reid’s gun bill to move forward, I made a call.
I telephoned my Senator, Kelly Ayotte, to vent my spleen. I spoke with one of her lackeys, and she explained that the senator has always been pro-Second Amendment. I asked the lackey if the pro-gun Senator actually read the very lengthy bill she voted to allow to proceed. The lackey had no answer. She just kept repeating how Sen. Ayotte was pro-Second Amendment. I told her that her answer, to me, assumed the senator had not read the bill and that I will report it that way. The lackey was none too happy with me. Frankly, at this point, I don’t really care.
At this point in time, I am staring at page after page after excruciating page of S–649: Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act of 2013.
How could anyone be against safe communities and schools? They might as well call it the “Don’t Shoot Grandma Act.” After all, who would vote to shoot grandma?
It doesn’t take long to question the sincerity of the bill. It starts in the very first sentence: “To ensure that all individuals who should be prohibited from buying a firearm are listed in the national instant criminal background check system and require a background check for every firearm sale, and for other purposes.”
See anything a little creepy about the preamble? I see two problems. The first is relatively minor, the second, seriously major.
First, there is no way to ensure full registration. It’s a crock; but it sounds great and isn’t that really the most important thing? It doesn’t matter whether it actually happens as long as they care enough to wish it to be so. It is tailored directly to the low information citizen.
Second, and this is the scary part, “and for other purposes.” Yikes! What does that mean? Answer: anything they want it to — after it is signed into law.
This bill, like so many others, is purposely written to go on forever. Here is the link to read it for yourself, assuming you are as masochistic as I am.
Here’s an interesting factoid to ponder that directly relates to this bill.
In 2007, Delaware passed a law making it a minimum class A misdemeanor to spank a child under the age of 18. Coincidentally, uncle Joe Biden’s son Beau was one of the people who pushed the law. Small world, isn’t it?
So Delaware passed the law. So what? Well, here is so what.
In Section 111 of the Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act of 2013, the following is found: “supply accurate and timely court orders and records of misdemeanor crimes” that when broadly interpreted can mean many things.
Putting it together? Any parent in Delaware convicted of spanking their child (don’t laugh, it’s the law) will not be able legally to own a firearm, and I’m sure that’s not the only example.
Not only is the bill written, at times in the vaguest terms possible, but also it continually cites other laws — causing one either to research every cited law or throw their hands up in frustration.
This is where we are headed folks. I have now finished reading the entire bill and I’ll tell you, it would take Justice Scalia and 20 researchers several weeks to interpret. No lie! That means there is no Senator that will fully understand what they are voting for. Just like Obamacare.
Oh, and by the way, it never did reveal what the “other purposes” were.
