Next Step in Attack
on Private Transfers
It has always been clear to the pro-Second Amendment community that the
attacks on gun shows are merely the first step in an orchestrated effort
to outlaw all private transfers of firearms - including those between
close friends, neighbors, or even relatives - and impose a national
firearm licensing and registration scheme.
A small group of state-level
anti-gun organizations held a press conference on Thursday to publicly
announce the next phase in this campaign. The group calls itself the
"National Campaign to Close the Newspaper Gun Ad Loophole," and seeks to
bring an end to law-abiding citizens using newspaper ads to legally sell
their lawful property - firearms.
This coalition masquerades as a "grassroots" movement, although it is
actually a handful of affiliates of the gun-ban lobby formerly known as
HCI, and is little more than a collection of anti-gun extremists that
receives funding from, and aligns themselves with, national anti-gun
organizations.
NRA will closely monitor the development of this
campaign, and we will be sure to report any significant developments.
The coalition's timing is certainly interesting, as their effort to
curtail the private transfer of firearms occured at the same time BATF
was curtailing transfers through FFLs.
