drewkittyFrom change.gov "Urban Policy"
>>• Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade.
In other words, create that national gun registry which is the first step to confiscation. Also gift the rest of the country with the
California ability of peace officers and dispatchers to look up whether you own a firearm or not.
>> Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals.
Note "common sense" to disguise the fact that these are new restrictions and laws.
>> They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof.
Again, the "gun show loophole" is to require that all firearms transactions be tracked by the government, another technique for confiscation
As for childproof guns, why not childproof blowtorches and chainsaws? This is a thin excuse for banning as many firearms as possible..
>> They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.
It was allowed to expire because it didn't have any effect on crime. So why resurrect the corpse?
Don't be fooled by platitudes. This is a laundry list of the gun ban movement, which has little to do with urban policy and everything to do with further erosion of your 2nd Amendment rights.

I'd prefer to not to see this regime imposed nationwide. Someday California may come to its collective senses.
Anyone who threatens someone with a gun (except in lawful self defense or defense of others) should go to jail and lose their gun rights. This is the current law. So much as "brandishing" a firearm ("displaying in a rude or threatening manner") loses your gun rights for five years. Again, this is how it should be.
