This week, Congressman Chris Jacobs (R-NY) introduced the “Federal Assault Weapons Licensing Act,” a bill that would establish a licensing system for prospective purchasers of modern sporting rifles (MSR).
Per the legislation, one would need to take a mandatory safety course, pass an FBI background check, submit fingerprints and provide proof of identity as part of the licensing process.
The license would need to be renewed every five years.
Anyone who already owns an MSR would be grandfathered in, however, if they wanted to buy an additional MSR they would need a license.
“My legislation is common sense and provides a straightforward licensing process to ensure those who are purchasing and taking ownership of assault weapons are responsible, law-abiding Americans,” Jacobs said in a press release obtained by GunsAmerica.
“We can honor and protect our Second Amendment, while also ensuring that dangerous weapons do not fall into the wrong hands. We must do more to ensure the safety of our schools and communities, and I urge my colleagues to join me in sponsoring this legislation,” he added.

Police officers and military personnel would be exempt.
The bill also allows unlicensed individuals to shoot modern sporting rifles at a range or while hunting if the license holder supervises.
Unlicensed individuals may also use one in self-defense to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm.
“While the overwhelming majority of Americans who own these weapons are law-abiding, responsible gun owners – the increasing trend of mass shootings with these weapons shows additional safeguards must be placed upon obtaining them,” said Jacobs.
“My bill will better ensure these guns do not fall into the wrong hands, while still protecting Americans’ ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights,” he continued.

Never understood the safety course bits.
The "mass shootings" aren't happening because someone "accidentally" sets up a belt fed in the cafe. There's nothing happening because the shooter was "unsafe and didn't know how to use it" - it happens because they're psychos. Teaching them to become more proficient with it - seems to be counterintuitive.

Just a bunch of more GC bullsheat to harass law-abiding gun owners while doing nothing about criminals / gangsters committing all the gun violence.
In a related GC Issue: Stacey “Ghettopottamus” says if she is elected GA Governor, she will keep guns out of the hands of “dangerous individuals”. 3 guesses as to how she defines “Dangerous Individuals “.
Credit goes to Hatari for coining the term “ Ghettopottamus”.

Virtue signal from this rino. Fugem. “My bill will better ensure these guns do not fall into the wrong hands, while still protecting Americans’ ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights,” he continued.
Given that there are numerous failures of the current laws that were to prevent nut jobs from getting guns what is the likelihood THIS bill would perform any better? “We can honor and protect our Second Amendment, while also ensuring that dangerous weapons do not fall into the wrong hands."

What is his primary objective here? He knows it’s not going reduce “gun violence”, or stop the FBI from organizing false flag mass shootings, so what’s he up to?
Could it be that the he is just throwing this out there in order to shut the Democrats up, when they claim he and the Republicans refuse to discuss “Gun Control” . He can shut them down with the introduction of this bill.
Or is he just another Democrat in disguise.
What is his voting record on previous Gun Legislation?

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

It won’t pass constitutional muster but that ain’t ever deterred them. Just because they have created a class of firearms out of thin air doesn’t mean that they can infringe on our rights.
Good luck with that…

Per the legislation, one would need to take a mandatory safety course, pass an FBI background check, submit fingerprints and provide proof of identity as part of the licensing process.
The license would need to be renewed every five years. That is essentially what I had to do to get a concealed weapons permit sans the safety course before we went constitutional carry. Cost me 80 something bucks. Other states require people to sit through a class and shoot some targets as well....the "safety course". The problem with mass shooters is that they are crazy. A background check is going to have to delve into records of mental health treatment, drugs, to even come close to meaning anything. If the current FBI has anything to do with it, not being a communist might get you denied.
