Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Stop Gun Trafficking and Strengthen Law Enforcement Act of 2011
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill...bill=h112-2554
Just realized I posted this in GD instead of the legislation forum... mods, fell free to move
So they're gonna shut down the ATF to stem the flow of illegal weapons to Mexico?
Jackasses...how about they enforce the laws already on the books? There's already numerous statutes that cover this subject.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that bill just describe a straw purchase?
More evidence of just how moronic our government truly is.
So basically this law says that it shall be illegal to engage in activity that is already illegal?
Ok, so what is the angle?
The only thing I can think is that section (b) might put anyone that runs a forum with ads or a classifieds site that allows firearms to be charged if a criminal buys a gun via their site.
But even then one would have to "knowingly" do so ... which again is already a crime.
Frankly I suspect its one of those bills put forward by gun banners just to keep their gun banning buddies at Brady and VPC quiet.
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
That's exactly what it is, reinforcement of unconstitutional laws that are already on the books. WTF are we paying these people for.Originally Posted by Zundfolge
I've only read the first part of it and my head already fucking hurts. Looks like its time to write doug.
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Haw haw haw?..
My take on this is, they are attempting to codify at the federal level a 'straw purchase', which has already been codified at the state level. This would allow the ATF and other federal agents to charge into federal court, this particular offense.
I don't have time to review the federal statutes to see if this is a redundant federal statute right now.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Its not already?
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Haw haw haw?..
I'll have to dig into it, but I'm pretty sure all of this falls under 39 USC 922(g) in the sections having to do with prohibited persons.
