Spending Bill 'serious expansion of Federal Gun Control' | Eastern North Carolina Now

Authored by Joseph Lord via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

Democrats’ $1.5 trillion omnibus spending package, unveiled early Wednesday,includes provisions that constitute “a serious expansion of federal gun control” according to the National Association for Gun Rights.

Specifically, the omnibus bill includes the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

VAWA takes this system much further.

Under its provisions,the attorney general is required “to issue a notice to State, local, or Tribal law enforcement and prosecutors if an individual has attempted to purchase a firearm and been denied pursuant to the national instant criminal background check system.”

In other words, an attempt to buy a firearm while legally barred from owning one can be met with criminal investigation.

“Over 95 percent of all NICS denials are false positives, which means all local and state police would be required to investigate law-abiding citizens when they’re wrongly and unconstitutionally denied the right to purchase a firearm,” NAGR said.

“Make no mistake—the NICS denial reporting embedded inside the Violence Against Women Act constitutes a serious expansion of federal gun control,” said Dudley Brown, president of the NAGR. “Not only does it rapidly expand federal gun control policy, it would actually endanger women, not keep them safe.”

This bill should have been read completely by anyone voting on it.  But as Pelosi has said before we have to pass it to find out what is in it.
