Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is once again pushing for a gun registry. Last Wednesday she blew the dust off her previous failure, this time enlisting the complicity of a far-left member of the House, Representative Hank Johnson (D-Ga.).
The 273-page bill infringes on the Second Amendment from every direction, with federal government mandated registration of every privately owned firearm in the country just the beginning. If passed, it would require universal background checks even between family members. It would nationalize Extreme Risk Protection Orders (i.e., red flag laws). It would raise the minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21, it would ban all “military-style” semiautomatic rifles and handguns, it would ban all home-made (i.e., “ghost”) guns, and it would put more ATF pressure on gun dealers, with the obvious intent of putting them out of business.
It would repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which currently protects firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable when crimes have been committed with their products. This provision, by itself, if enacted, would shortly bankrupt all gun makers and gun dealers.
When Warren originally birthed this monstrosity in December 2022, she could only find three sponsors: Senators Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), and Bob Mendendez (D-N.J.).
This time around, Menendez is busy defending himself against various felony charges of bribery so Warren was forced to replace him with another far-left Senator, Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii).
The American public is increasingly opposed to more gun laws, as The New American reported last week. And they are busy purchasing more firearms at record-breaking levels, also as noted by The New American. In fact, Warren’s own Democrat supporters now report that four out of 10 of them have a firearm at home, an increase of nearly 10 percent in just the last four years.
Warren seems to be swimming upstream against the current. Why would she do that? To keep the anti-gun narrative alive.
