Ms. Harris said that, if elected, she would sign an executive order mandating background checks for customers of any firearms dealer who sells more than five guns a year. The executive actions would also include more strident regulation of gun manufacturers that could result in revoked licenses or prosecution, as well as an attempt to close the loophole that allows some domestic abusers to purchase guns if their victim is an unwedded partner.
I know some people have a knee jerk reaction to anything proposed by Democrats but they're better ideas than banning bump stocks.

1. It seems reasonable to categorize somebody selling more than five guns a year as a gun dealer. Texas requires a car dealer license if you sell five or more cars in a year.

2. I have no problem with ATF enforcing current laws on manufacturers and revoking licenses for significant violations. I would hope this happens already but maybe it's more work than online sting operations for freeze plugs and solvent traps.

3. I'm not sure what she's talking about here. Somebody can be convicted of domestic violence if they're not married to their victim. If somebody has a DV conviction, they're already disqualified unless they're a protected class, and I have no problem with eliminating that loophole.
Ridiculous, doesn't matter if you like them or not, implementing new law such as this through an EO is unconstitutional, If you like the ideas get someone to file legislation and push for it. I am getting really sick of this whole "feed the alligator other people hoping you will be eaten last" mentality. If you haven't figured it out yet, there is no middle ground with the DemonRats. They will take everything you give them and it will never be enough until we don't have anything. Don't help them get us there. Besides, even the proposals are more than what they seem. OK say you agree with the idea of selling more than 5 guns privately before having to be a dealer. Well how do they know? They make ALL private sales illegal and force you to do paperwork and go into the system anytime you want to sell a gun to your friend or family member you have to go into the government database. So to support this idea you have to agree to ban private sales for it to work.
