Anyone hear of any movement on this. Is it still in committee?

I believe it was sent back to "committee".

 

Politico speak for "It needs massaging"

It needs Killing.

Here's a question: the same people advocating defunding the police are the same ones that want law enforcement to run background checks and police gun and ammo purchases.  That takes money, which tells.me the defunding the police movement is nothing more than smoke and mirrors.

 No one said these people were very bright...just "elected".

What they want to do by de-funding the police is basically prevent them from enforcement actions, claiming that the money would more effectively be used for social programs like counseling. They think this would eliminate crime. :blink:;)

Like "Wefare" was to help people get back on their feet.

Instead it became a way of life feeding on government program money. (tax money)

 

Like the current Unemployment money being higher than the wages of some people who now do not want to go back to work.

We, in Canada, already have a form of this bill enacted in law.

It hasn't worked here either.

It seems the criminals haven't read it, or if they have, they ignore it.

It hasn't stopped the left from trying even more draconian regulations and laws.

I expect it to stay with the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security until after the election.  I'm guessing that the Democrat's internal polling is showing that all the civil unrest is making voters lack enthusiasm for more gun control.

This bill is sponsored by Rep. Hank Johnson from the slums of Atlanta.  He's also the genius that asked if Guam would capsize if we sent too many troops over there.  He's just keeping the seat warm until they can find somebody even stupider than he is.

Yup.

 

Hank Johnson.

 

True genius.

Do not make the mistake of allowing Johnson's acuity - or lack of - to be a factor in the passage of this or any other bill he may introduce:  his party has a practice of blind mutual support, usually under the direction of the "party bosses."  -_-

 

(Note:  Said "bosses" may occasionally allow select party members to vote contrary to the party line to appease constituents as long as they are assured of already having enough votes to achieve their goal.)

I can hear the argument now...Gun/ammo buyers will have to wait much longer because the limited number of law enforcement are too busy trying to stop crime.  It would be just another form of gun control that we don't need.

Don't get worked up about it, Bob.  It's just more useless political posturing and placating their base.

 

They know it wouldn't have a chance in the Senate and even less of a chance of it getting signed by Trump.

 

Nasty Pelosi doesn't want to actually lose, so she's not going to even go through the motions with it.  If their base gets wind of it and starts raising a stink over it sitting in committee, then it will still be the Senate's and Trump's fault.

Stupider than Hank Johnson??? They are going to wait a l-o-n-g time to find a person that in my opinion doesn't exist.

They tend to think the reason it hasn’t worked is because they haven’t done enough of it yet . They can’t seem to grasp the concept that criminals don’t care about the law .

That's because they think that they're the smartest people in the room and, since they are so naturally superior, they can't be wrong. 

 

Note that disagreement with them is always taken by them as a sign that the opposition is intellectually inferior to them.

I’ve also noticed “compromise” means do what I want

When dealing with Leftists, remember that they have their own language made up of English words with different meanings,.

 

"Compromise" means you give in and they get what they want- just like how "common sense" refers to whatever outrageous thing they are supporting at the moment.

Exactly like: https://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/2013/11/08/cake-and-compromise-illustrated-guide-to-gun-control/  which has been posted here many times before.

If they defund the police the results would also include little or no background checks being made. Then, “Sorry your background check hasn’t been processed yet you will have to wait until it can be prioritized (not - never).”

And then this happens.

But then, they live in a fantasy world, so maybe they plan on jumping into Doc's Delorean, going back in time and stopping the invention of gunpowder.

Yeah. That must be it.
