A bill to federally encourage handgun licensing at state level.
Sebastian wonders.
I find it odd that Van Hollen would go after handguns. Going after rifles is the latest vogue in the gun control movement post-Heller.
Just So You’re Aware What’s at Stake
Let us remember that the National Firearms Act’s first goal was to ban or highly restrict handguns, but they could not do it at the time. Gun Control Act of 1968 did target handguns with the “sporting purpose’ idiocy and then the tag from the media about the “Saturday Night Specials” which led to banning the importation of handguns under certain barrel length.
The problem as the Liberals see it is that a handgun is concealable. An AR-15? Not so much. Open carry of an AK 47 will attract attention immediately even in full Open Carry states. A concealed pistol? Well, there are an approximately 15 million Americans right now about their business, mingling about legally carrying concealed and nobody knows who they are or what they carry.
And that scares the shit out of Left Wing politicians. The idea that they cannot be as fascist as they can be because there are unregistered weapons about that can be used to curb their thirst for power just is too much for them.
And yes, that means that Concealed Carry must be eliminated.
So no, I am not surprised one bit they are going after handguns.
