[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2831254, member: 18914"] Most of this is weak, some is just eyewash, and a little is nonsense but I agree that the open ended re-definition of "engaged in the business of buying and selling guns" is potentially open to great abuse. The smart gun technology push is fantasy (and possibly a gift to some techie start up firm). Some things like more ATF agents - well, ok, no objections here. Other parts about background checks regardless of how guns are sold is completely deceptive - dealers are already under that rule and anyone who thinks there is an internet or gun show exception is a fool. That whole line of argument is just a different front in the attack on private gun sales of any kind. I wasn't thrilled by the SSA plans either - so my mother who has trouble with large numerical calculations now in her older years is to be considered a mental defective functionally equivalent to a a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic at least as regards gun purchasing? I note that he did not say explicitly or forcefully say he would direct the Attorney General to have US Attorneys prioritize prosecuting straw purchasers, something his Justice Department has been unwilling or unmotivated to do for the last seven years. What about the NFA and Gun Trust points? I am unfamiliar with those rules - do his intended actions have significant implications in that regard? [/QUOTE]
