SENATE'S GUN CONTROL READING * LIVE

[jslo]

So I've been trying to shuffle through all this. Where is the exact wording for this final bill? I was told by a friend that if I leave the house for 72+ hours, I have to transfer the guns (assuming I had any) to my wife? Or anyone else that would remain in custody of the house which holds any potential firearms?

Have not seen the text for myself but someone here on the floor said something to the effect it would not have to be transferred if it did not leave the home.

Democrat or Republican? I haven't seen any indication that the Democrats understand any of the bill.

Agreed. A Democrat made the statement and a Republican attempted to get clarification. Like most everything else in these bills, very little is clear.

You cant go by what people say. It is meaningless. For example, some woman said that dont worry your friend can borrow and transport the gun to go hunting no worries. But the bill does not say that. it says

(e) A 1 TEMPORARY TRANSFER OF POSSESSION WITHOUT TRANSFER
2 OF OWNERSHIP OR A TITLE TO OWNERSHIP, WHICH TRANSFER TAKES PLACE:
3 (I) AT A SHOOTING RANGE LOCATED IN OR ON PREMISES OWNED OR
4 OCCUPIED BY A DULY INCORPORATED ORGANIZATION ORGANIZED FOR
5 CONSERVATION PURPOSES OR TO FOSTER PROFICIENCY IN FIREARMS;
6 (II) AT A TARGET FIREARM SHOOTING COMPETITION UNDER THE
7 AUSPICES OF, OR APPROVED BY, A STATE AGENCY OR A NONPROFIT
8 ORGANIZATION; OR
9 (III) WHILE HUNTING, FISHING, TARGET SHOOTING, OR TRAPPING

Under the language of the bill temporary possession is only lawful while your friend is engaged in the act of hunting.

They lie on the floor, either due to not understanding what is in the bill, or quite frankly, more likely due to - malice.

I agree. Admitted I hadn't seen the text itself.

A solution may be to put all of your firearms in a Trust so that you and your husband have equal access.

I still don't understand how this affects us if I am out of town for a week or more. I thought they specifically excluded trust "transfers." Someone help me understand how if my wife is already a trustee she cannot possess the guns? How adding my best friend of 22 years to my trust temporarily is not allowed? How would this affect beneficiary receipt of the guns if both my wife and I die?
