I thought I'd try and capture the idiocy being dropped in DC by the democrats. While I don't see any of these passing a republican controlled senate the democrats have been getting more and more open about their real goals. It's sad how long this post is and I didn't even cover half of the proposed anti gun laws.
As you read the proposals, ask yourself if passage of the law will help stop crimes or hurt law abiding gunowners. You already know the answer. You are their enemy. Criminals, not so much.
HR1296. 2019 Assault Weapon Ban. 191 democrats signed onto this.
HR8. All gun transfers require a back ground check. An interesting item from a judiciary committee on this one...republicans tried to amend it to include requiring law enforcement be notified when a check is rejected. The democrats voted that down as it would include illegal aliens. Since NICS was started the top reason for rejects is 7.8 million for illegal alien status. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...umber-of-illegal-immigrants-tried-to-buy-guns
HR1112. The no time limit back ground check. Currently if a back ground check raises a flag but is not rejected the FFL can move the sale forward after 3 days. That would be removed. The FBI could take an undetermined time period and the sale could no go through without their permission. The net effect would be a right becoming a permission based privilege.
HR1297. Reclassify AR/AK pistols. Pistol caliber handguns that can fire armor piercing ammunition will be reclassified to an NFA item.
HR1263. Reclassify all semi automatics that can accept a box magazine. As above, all semi auto's would become NFA items.
HR1266. Reclassify 80% lowers as a "gun" requiring background check. Even more vague is the verbiage... “any combination of parts designed or intended for use in converting any device into a firearm and from which a firearm may be readily assembled”

HR1296. 2019 Assault Weapon Ban. 191 democrats signed onto this.
The Senate version includes the following in addition to the above:The bill, one of the most ambitious bans proposed in recent years, would bar the importation, production, or transfer of 205 firearms by name to include a myriad of semi-auto AR-15 and AK-47 variants. Going past that, any semi-auto rifle with a detachable magazine and any “military-style feature” such as a barrel shroud, pistol grip or threaded barrel, would be caught in the net. Even semi-auto rifles with a fixed magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds would be covered by the new ban. Its title as introduced was “To regulate assault weapons, to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited, and for other purposes.”
A similar Senate bill, introduced by U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein in January, makes the same case in that chamber and includes a nationwide ban on adjustable stocks, Thordsen-style stocks such as used in “featureless rifles” marketed in states like California, “assault pistols” that weight more than 50 ounces when unloaded, and popular pistol stabilizing braces that have become widespread in recent years. It currently has 28 co-sponsors, none of whom are Republicans.

HR8 requires that loans, gifts, and sales of firearms be processed by a gun store. The same fees, paperwork, and permanent record-keeping apply as to buying a new gun from the store. If you loan a gun to a friend without going to the gun store, the penalty is the same as for knowingly selling a gun to a convicted violent felon. Likewise, when the friend returns the gun, another trip to the gun store is necessary, upon pain of felony.
