Senate Democrats propose DOJ license requirement for gun purchases

[ShooterInPA1]

A trio of senators plan to introduce legislation on Thursday that will require residents to acquire a Department of Justice (DOJ) license before purchasing or obtaining a legal firearm.

The bill would also raise the legal age for obtaining a firearm to 21 years old.

The bill was introduced by Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).

It has virtually no chance of becoming law given GOP opposition, but gives a sense of the breadth of restrictions on gun access that some lawmakers would favor imposing in the wake of years of mass shootings in the nation.

On Saturday, 10 people were killed at a Buffalo supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood by a lone gunman who released a racist screed before the attack that suggested he had targeted African Americans.

According to the bill text, the Federal Firearm Licensing Act will require residents to complete a written firearm safety test and hands-on testing, which includes firing testing, to get the license to acquire a firearm.

The license will also require those wanting to buy a gun to submit a criminal background check, fingerprints, and proof of identity.

I thought requiring ID to exercise a right was *racist.*

Constitution motherfuckers.

Isn't that constitutionally illegal? I know they wipe their ass with it.

[JaySmith]

They can suck it.

Just obtain an illegal firearm then. Problem solved.

Anything with "Blumenthal" attached is a giant piece of flaming excrement. We all know that by now, right? He is a walking, talking douchebag.

Menendez has been a corrupt, anti-gun, pedo POS for decades, and I'm pretty sure Booker is running on the same OS version as AOC.

They make a perfect sociopathic trio.

Oh, no argument here. Absolutely true. But the human excessively-utilized maxi pad that is Blumenthal just gets my blood pressure up for some reason. Frankly, equating him with a douche is actually too magnanimous for him and cast a useful feminine product in a bad light...

Actually, these two requirements would probably eliminate 50% of applicants.
