This week Dan, Ann, and Anonymous discuss gun control (or lack of), the Brady Bill, background checks, and go over the process of purchasing a firearm in Louisiana. We also take a look at how to completely avoid a Federal Background Check when purchasing a firearm. We take a look at some of the cities and states with the strictest gun laws and the correlating gun crimes in those areas.
- Requirements and process for purchasing firearms in Louisiana?
- Application Process
- Background Check
- Psychological/Medical Background check
- How many guns can you purchase at once (or in a specific time frame)
- What types of guns are legal/illegal
- The myth about “Gun Registration”
The Brady Bill
- What is the Brady Bill and why was it passed?
- Go over the prohibitions in section 922(g)
- Discuss the NRA trying to defeat the Brady Bill.
- The Brady Bill “Bypass” - (private sellers, in most states)
- Other Federal Gun Foolishness
- Federal law fails to require law enforcement officers to investigate the multiple sales or purchases of firearms that are reported.
- Federal law actually prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from disclosing reports of multiple sales (other than those involving prohibited purchasers) and requires those agencies to destroy such reports and related records within 20 days of receipt.
- Federal Work Around - Some states require reporting
Places that have or have had strict gun laws and correlating gun violence.
- Washington D.C. - All guns were illegal from 1976 - 2009
- California
- Maryland
- Connecticut, NJ, NY
- NY - The City limits all firearm purchases (not just handguns) to one handgun and one rifle or shotgun every 90 days. Before a sale can occur, the seller must check with the governmental authority that licensed the purchaser to make sure the purchaser has not bought another firearm within the previous 90 days.
NRA
- Who are they and what do they do?
- Why do they oppose every piece of gun legislation?
- Why didn’t they provide aid to Philando Castille (obvious)
- The newer NRA commercials “A Call to Arms.”
Headlines: What’s happening in Vegas isn’t staying in Vegas.
- Vegas Mass Shooting.
- Michael Bennett Bodycam footage released. Was he lying?
