"Even if [the plaintiff] were entitled to Second Amendment protection, his challenge would be baseless: [8 U.S.C] section 922(g) furthers the government's compelling interest in keeping firearms out of the hands of individuals who are likely to use the irresponsibly. Empirical evidence supports the conclusion that those previously convicted of drunk driving are significantly more likely to abuse alcohol and commit acts of violence. And these drunk drivers are significantly more likely than individuals without alcohol-related convictions to be arrested for crimes involving violence and/or misuse of firearms."

Note:
The "Empirical Evidence" section is a false claim being propagated by "fake pro-gun" organizations right now and it seems Trump has fallen for it hook, line, and sinker. So if you have ever gotten a DUI then you may not have your "entitled" Constitutional Rights anymore if the bill he is putting together passes...or he decides to force it through with executive order once again (Bumpstock Ban)...People make horrible choices at young ages, I, myself have a DUI from when I was young and stupid and I thank god for it as that DUI saved my life - I havent had a drink since then and I've cleaned up my life. Without that DUI I would have continued to drink and abuse drugs and I most likely would have died by now. Now because I have that DUI, it means I will lose my Second Amendment Rights even though I have cleaned up and started over. All I know is Im so happy that "the war on the Second Amendment is Over"....
Just imagine if they do write that up as a law, this is a slippery slope...not only would innocent people that have been convicted for false positives lose their rights but people in states where the "legal limit" is less than .03 would be loosing them for barely being "impaired" while driving. There would be millions of people affected by this for stupid decisions while they were young, like myself. The precedent set would lead to people that smoke, no fly lists, trespassing violations, misdemeanors/ect.... This is dangerous, this is repulsive, and it needs to be addressed publicly.
NEW LEGISLATION LOOMING:
HR 282: Federal Gun Ban Omnibus Bill
HR 282 covers the whole gamut of “problems” anti-gunners have with the Second Amendment. HR 282 would seek to prevent the sale or possession of most semi-automatic firearms and outright bans All AK and AR “types”, require disclosing lost or stolen firearms, mandatory gun show background checks, and the restriction or outright banning of firearms parts and accessories. HR 282 will bring about a Second Amendment crisis if allowed to pass.
HR 1297: Classifying AR Pistols/Others as NFA Firearm
The Law Enforcement Protection Act, would add armor-piercing, concealable weapons as a category under the National Firearms Act (NFA). Presumably, Rep. Demings is targeting AR/AK pistols and other guns like the FN Five-seveN that fire “high-powered” rounds. Demings states that “If the handguns addressed by LEPA were designed to be fired from the shoulder, they would be considered a short-barreled rifle, subjecting them to NFA regulation. They fire the same rifle rounds, but because they are designed to be fired from the hand, they escape NFA regulation.”
S 184: Funding for Biased Gun Violence Research by the CDC
S 184 would appropriate $250,000,000 over the course of 5 years in order for the CDC to conduct research on gun violence prevention. S 184 is creates a perfect storm for the CDC to find confirmation that guns are the problem and give a solution of gun confiscation.
HR 820: Closes the “Gun Show Loophole”
HR 820 would prohibit all private firearms transfers at gun shows. By calling this a loophole, Rep. Maloney is implying that somehow law-abiding gun owners are getting “around the law.” In reality, they are following the law. And one more law isn’t going to do anything except to further trample the rights of all Americans.
HR 1266: Considers Firearms Parts to Count as Firearms
HR 1266 would treat any part that can be assembled into a firearm or can turn any device into a firearm as a firearm under the law. Labeled the “Ghost Guns are Real Guns” bill, HR 1266 is Rep. Espaillat’s feeble attempt to “do something”. What HR 1266 will really do is cause lawful gun owners more pain when it comes to transporting parts, manufacturing their own firearms, and storing firearm parts.
HR 1279: Promotion of Gun Buyback Programs
HR 1279 would set aside funding for State, local, or private gun buyback programs. This bill uses taxpayer dollars in order to bribe gun owners to give up their 2A rights.
HR 167: Mandatory Licences for Dealer Transfers at Gun Show
HR 167 would mandate that all firearms transactions at a gun show be processed through a licensed firearms dealer and failure to do so would result in a minimum $10,000 and/or 1-2 years in prison. This bill would also empower the government to track every firearm you buy or sell and punish otherwise responsible gun owners.
HR 1112: Extended Time Limits on FBI Background Checks
Under current Federal guidelines, FFLs can transfer a gun immediately after receiving a “proceed” authorization through the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System. In cases where the FBI gives a “delay,” it is up to the dealer whether to go through with the transfer after three business days. HR 1112 would remove that discretion and instead impose a delay of potentially 20 business days before the transaction could go through. There is no reason that the Second Amendment should be held up at the whim of a bureaucrat in Washington D.C.
HR 1186: “High Capacity” Magazine Ban
Limiting your magazine capacity to a completely arbitrary amount of 10 rounds, Rep. Deutch & Sen. Menendez are cutting you at the achilles in your ability to be prepared for any and all threats you as a law-abiding gun owner may face. The "Keep Americans Safe Act" will do is leave lawful people who only wish to protect themselves the best they can from being able to do so.
. The Red Dot is a ADE Zantitium, its essentially a Goliath sized delta point...it's a bit too big for handguns but its perfect for AR's and other PCC's. Hopefully by next year Ill have a Mystic X suppressor and a Franklin Armory Binary Trigger for this and the AR9...
