Gun Control & RKBA

And WHAT law is he going to propose?
Know of what you speak of, at least enough that you don't sound like a total moron.
It seems that the folks over at GD had no clue as what the post was about.

Existing law authorizes the Department of Justice to assign a distinguishing number or mark of identification to any firearm whenever the firearm lacks a manufacturers number or other mark of identification, or whenever the manufacturers number or other mark of identification or distinguishing number or mark assigned by the department has been destroyed or obliterated.
This bill would require a person who makes or assembles a firearm to first apply to the department for a unique serial number or other identifying mark, as provided. The bill would make a violation of these provisions a misdemeanor. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
And Sen. de Leon's press release.

(1,991 posts)Never mind, found it, I also noticed that it was locked PDQ, makes me wonder if this had been an anti-gun thread, would it have been locked?
Recent events lead me to believe that it wouldn't have been.

If, on the other hand, it's supportive of gun rights, it will not last long.
Thankfully, hosts don't stay hosts forever.

(26,602 posts)Based on my assessment of the current GD process, I think that what oneshooter needed to do was first frame the 'ghost gun' discussion as Big News by providing national sources and pointing out that it affects multiple states. Then, the post that was locked would perhaps have stood as an ancillary comment referring to a primary Big News thread.
Or, just discuss it in here where people who are actually interested in real discussion on the topic know to look...

It's a huge fucking joke...

(68,644 posts)If we're thinking of the same one, they are no longer a GD host (nor am I) but manages to turn a simple thread into a two-week spectacle.
Not only have they outed alerters, they've copied and pasted parts of Host discussion threads in attempts to intimidate or shame another host.
It never works, but it sure is annoying.

(6,185 posts)Being a petty bully in an online forum is about the total extent of their gun control "success" an "activism" for the past decade or so. All in all pretty pathetic.
Not much to show for all their "sturm und drang" and personal angst over us little folks down here in the Gungeon.
In the meantime, while they hid a post or two, ... the SHOT show just finished a record week in Vegas with over 65,000 attendees, Illinois started approving it's first batch of concealed carry permits today for instructors and CCW classes are backed up here for 6 weeks or more.
All this and there still isn't a single state looking at repeal of CCW.

(68,644 posts)Those 30 caliber clips, they're CRAZY! And dang, 30 bullets in HALF a second? 3,600 rounds a minute!
(note, must have 120 30-caliber clips to fire off 3,600 rounds)

(17,493 posts)a magazine a "magazine clip."
It seems they are finally attempting to use proper firearm terminology but are still in the process of mastering it.
I could be wrong. Perhaps they feel "magazine clip" sounds far more scary than just a clip or a magazine. This guy even steps it up higher by saying "30 magazine clip" which I would interpret as meaning the weapon has a clip that holds 30 magazines and can fire all the rounds in the 30 magazines in one half of a second.
Assuming the clip holds 30 round magazines, that would mean the weapon could fire 900 rounds in 0.5 seconds. I can't imagine the recoil such a weapon would generate but I wouldn't want to trying firing it unless it was firmly mounted. Of course the single barrel would melt unless it was made of some super metal used by an advanced alien civilization from some distant planet.
