In gun control news, if you've been following the news as of late, you know that the Congress has shelved the Assault Weapons Ban. Right now they are just going after universal background checks. I would say people should be vigilant with regards to universal background checks because while on the surface, they can seem like basic common sense, the problem with them is a few-fold:
1) They are likely impossible to enforce without creating a federal gun registry. The concept of a gun registry goes against the entire concept of having a right to keep and bear arms. If one had to register their books with the government, then the whole concept of freedom of information would seem odd.
2) Gun registries almost always lead to gun confiscation at some point in the future (for example, Canada). This is what has happened in other countries that have created such registries and it has been talked about being done here in America by people such as Dianne Feinstein, Governor Cuomo, and other politicians in the U.S. It also was done in New Orleans by the police in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
In another part of the news, Governor Cuomo of New York, upon realizing the ridiculousness of the NY SAFE Act's limiting people to seven-round magazines, which are very rare except for handguns, has decided that ten round magazines will remain legal, but people will only be allowed to load them with seven rounds at most. Which makes complete logical sense of course, because any criminal intent on shooting a place up will of course make sure to load their ten round magazines with only seven rounds each.
In the event anyone actually reads this blog of mine who believes in gun rights, keep abreast of your state and local governments, as there are some highly restrictive proposals being made.
