Depends on when you start the clock. It may take less than 5 if all you count is the time to complete 4473 online and wait for the approval.

Interesting that the President said today we should make it harder for people who want to kill Americans to get guns.

The US is THE world's leading arms exporter (sells 30% of arms).

This is as close as possible you can come to a positive gun story from the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Good video too...

Needed: Domestic Disarmament, Not 'Gun Control'

And to think, that idiot just put out a book on privacy in the digital age. Wonder if he talked about encryption at all. That's weapon grade first amendment right there, we need to back door disarm the public. No more encrypted transmissions.

Other than this article, I don't know the details on what the either side proposed, but I find it curious the vote totals almost mimic party lines in the Senate.

54 - R
44 - D
2 - I

"Prove you're innocent" of being on someone's extra-judicial watch list in order to exercise one's Constitutional rights? What country am I living in again?

Move to Alabama. They don't cotton to that bullshit.

And Hawaii becomes the first state with a database of registered gun owners.

(CNN) — While the issue of gun control has made little headway in Congress, Hawaii this week enacted a series of gun laws, one of which the governor says makes it the first state to put firearm owners into a database.

That database, which is called the "Rap Back" system, is operated by the FBI and would notify police when a gun owner is arrested for a crime anywhere in the United States.

Good job California...
Bullet button ban, background checks for ammunition purchases, banning ownership of magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds, and making it illegal to loan your firearms to family and friends..amongst other things...

Didn't see anything in that on background checks for ammo...but some asinine system for tracking the purchases of ammunition.

 

[BloodStripe]

Gun control isn't the answer. We already know how to stop the violence

I'm shocked this is coming from CNBC. I like the direction this article is steering towards. Put our money where out mouth is and get more law enforcement officers to enforce the existing laws on the book.
