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.
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.
She also mentioned banning High Capacity Magazines.
1: I always thought that the unlicensed volume dealer was unfair competition to Local Gun Shops. But families should be able to dispose of their weapons without lots of hinderance and red tape. Dealers are notorious for low balled prices.
2: I think she is also talking about prison time for clerical errors.
3: Domestic Violence charges is one of the most abused charges there is. Often the violence is just name calling, imagined or just trumped up, A lifetime ban of a basic civil right, on what is often just a misdemeanor charge is pretty harsh.
The problem with socialists if they scream their idiocracy out long and loud enough, it can sound pretty mainsteam.
