I smell something not right from the republicans claiming that the fix nics bill adds individuals to the no purchase list, or that it gives specific entities any more power than they already have. It has to be one of three things: 1. Our legislators really actually don’t read the bills for themselves (likely) 2. There is something hidden within the bill that we missed or cannot see (maybe written in, as displayed before?) or 3. The Rinos are showing their true colors (also likely).

I’m not a lawyer, and I don’t have very much experience reading bills (I’ve only read through a handful to be honest). After reading through the bill myself, I just don’t find any verbiage that gave myself the impression that we really lose anything. It seems that if someone were to be added to the no buy list due to this bill, they were already on their way to being on the list, and this bill really did nothing but expedite the process. In fact, I believe it says that the government would now have 60 days to correct the issue of being mistakenly put on the no buy list, whereas now people have waited years. I don’t agree with Americans losing rights without due process, but this bill doesn’t address that issue in any way (good or bad), that i can tell. I really have no problem with them doing a study on bump stocks as well. As little as rifles and rifle caliber pistols are used in crime, I find it hard to believe that bump stocks are used in much crime at all, to the point that it doesn’t worry me. Personally I’m pretty interested in crime statistics and would like to know myself.

I’ll listen to anyone’s opinion about it though.
