I like this, instead of putting more restrictions on the people, we need more restrictions on the legislators. You want more control in the hands on the government? Okay, prove to us you know what the fuck you're talking about first, then we might, might, entertain your ideas.

Fortunato: firearms test should be required for lawmaker who want to draft gun legislation

State Sen. Phil Fortunato, R-Auburn, has introduced legislation in advance of the 2019 legislative session that would require lawmakers who draft gun legislation to be trained and pass a test.

“We have legislators drafting bills who have no idea how firearms work or any sense of firearm nomenclature,” Fortunato said. “When decision makers want to restrict someone’s constitutional rights, they shouldn’t go off half-cocked.”

Fortunato’s bill would require legislators who want to draft legislation to pass the state’s criminal justice firearms training for each firearm they wish to regulate. In addition to classroom and live-fire requirements, legislators would also need to pass range safety officer training, and be able to pass a knowledge test for calibers and gauges of firearms.

Fortunato points to actual quotes from anti-gun politicians to demonstrate the need for better education of policymakers.

“A weapon (AR-15) that shoots off 700 rounds in a minute.” – former U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Florida.

A ghost gun that “has the ability, with a .30-caliber clip, to disperse with 30 bullets within half a second; 30 magazine clip in half a second.” – California state Sen. Kevin de Leon (D).

“…number of these high-capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won’t be any more available…” – U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colorado.

“We have federal regulations and state laws that prohibit hunting ducks with more than three rounds. And yet it’s legal to hunt humans with 15-round, 30-round, even 150-round magazines.” – U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California.

“I guess no one told Sen. Feinstein that it’s illegal to hunt humans,” Fortunato added. “I just think that it is fair to require some competency training for legislators so they can better understand what the heck they are talking about.”

We had one Democrat on Tucson City Council who firmly believed that we should ban Military grade hollow point ammo.

Several of us, Military vets, pointed out to her that there ain't no such ammo.

Of course, she didn't believe us.

You my friend, expect WAY to much. These morons don[t understand that islands in teh ocean don't float....

The antis do not have to know anything about guns to propose gun control legislation because gun control is not about guns.

Gun control is about CONTROL and they know a great deal about control.

Great idea! Never going to happen!

Thank you.

I initially figured such dumbassness would be coming from democraPs. Yep, I was right.

Where do these idiots get their information?

What is more frightening is that they actually believe that shit!

How about we enact a law that says every politicraP who wants to run for office has to take an introductory course in firearms, to include an 8 hour course on the second amendment!

I realize 8 hours on the 2A might seem extreme to some (all of us on the forum) but we have to break thru that wall of stupid they have controlling their thinking process.

Training could actually be devastating to their cause.
They might actually LIKE it.

Test on guns?

How about we start with the Constitution and Civics?

All that would do is make these evil bastards more knowledgeable in their attempts to ban firearms.

That was my thought as well. The more they are familiar with what they want to get rid of, the easier it will be for them to cover the short-comings of whatever bill they propose.

I'd say that'd be more worthwhile.

And anyway, allowing our enemies to remain dumb and ignorant perhaps isn't such a bad thing.

Hmmm. I've bought fishing and hunting licenses before. Where does one acquire a "human hunting" license, and does it contain any limits? Guess I'll email DiFi's office for more information.

Given some of the countries biggest morons sit on capital hill, firearms training would only scratch the surface on all the things these nitwits know little to nothing about.

I've looked all over my state's wildlife management site and I can't find anything about that human hunting license. What's the daily limit? Is non toxic ammo required? When are they in season?

Well given the number of murders committed every day there must be an open season. At least in some locations. Baltimore, shitcago, for example.

Maybe your state does not have such. Given the data published in the link below, they must have such rules in MD. OR at least Baltimore.

(Yes, I know it's not real . . . unfortunately.)

Hearings went on this week and will go on next week, and a lot of this legislation looks like it may/will pass.
