Handgun Trigger Safety Act
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d113:s2068:


In part

(a) Prohibition-

(1) MANUFACTURING- Beginning on the date that is 2 years after
the date of enactment of this Act, no person may manufacture in the
United States a handgun that is not a personalized handgun.

(2) DISTRIBUTION IN COMMERCE- Beginning on the date that is 3
years after the date of enactment of this Act, no person may
distribute in commerce any handgun that is not a personalized handgun
or a retrofitted personalized handgun.

(3) EXEMPTIONS FOR ANTIQUE FIREARMS AND MILITARY FIREARMS-
Paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply to--

(A) an antique firearm;

(B) the manufacture of a firearm that is sold to the
Department of Defense; or

(C) the sale or distribution of a firearm to the
Department of Defense.



It figures that this bill would originate from people like Markey and
Elizabeth Warren, two of the most left leaning MA politicians in office.

There is another bill .. H.R.2005 that is even more onerous with regard
to existing firearms. Sponsored by another MA Democrat, John Tierney,
the prohibitions read:

(1) effective 2 years after the date of the enactment of this
Act, handguns manufactured in the United States must be personalized
handguns; and

(2) effective 3 years after the date of the enactment of this
Act, handguns sold, offered for sale, traded, transferred, shipped,
leased, or distributed in the United States must be--

(A) personalized handguns, if manufactured on or after the
effective date in paragraph (1); or

(B) retrofitted personalized handguns, if manufactured
before the effective date in paragraph (1).


I read that as meaning that after three years *all* gun sales, new and
old, including private sales and even a simple transfer of ownership
(give firearm to family member) will require the firearm to be
"Personalized", either by design or by retrofit.




Good idea.

It's not a good idea. In fact it's about the dumbest, but totally
predictable brain farts you expect to come from phony do-gooders who are
simply betting on their political popularity and futures while making a
name for themselves.

Just like Hillary.

There are about 300 million privately owned firearms in the USA. Do you
seriously think that as many are sold, transferred or inherited that
they will all be voluntarily retrofitted with "Personalization" devices
by a populace that overwhelmingly supports the right to own firearms
without excessive federal government regulation?

Makes for good press for the liberal do-gooders but makes absolutely no
practical sense what-so-ever.

How about applying some of that political influence towards the
enforcement of existing laws?



There, with his 'Good idea' comment, you see the biggest example of hypocrisy this side of the
Mississippi. On the one hand the individual is building a decent sized arsenal, and on the other
pushing his 'anti-gun' agenda. Why? Only to keep his few remaining liberal supporters in his camp.
Apparently they can't see the hypocrisy.
