Look what gun control politicians have presented in Alabama -

https://bearingarms.com/jenn-j/2017/02/24/alabama-lawmaker-were-not-against-gun-rights-but/

Joining Frank Matthews, President of the Outcast Voters League, at the press conference was State Rep. John Rogers, who announced he is aiming to “fashion a bill that’s passable†to enact gun control in the state.

.....proposed legislation has been named the Sheri Williams Mandatory Gun Changes Act after a woman who was shot and killed in 2013 in Gate City, AL by a stray bullet while holding her 10-day-old baby.

The changes the proposed act would make to current gun laws are:

• Mandatory gun registration- owner has registration card that lists all weapons
  
• No transfers unless done through a registration office
  
• New purchases must be picked up at registration office
  
• Mandatory gun safes; only registered owner will have combination
  
• Mandatory gun safety classes
  
• Open carry and concealed carry policies abolished
  
• Waiting period for gun purchase extended to three months to allow all paperwork to pass
  
• People under 21 prohibited from owning guns
  
• Extensive mental evaluation
  
• Mandatory liability insurance for firearms
  
• Required reporting of stolen firearms within four hours of discovery
  
• Ammo purchases made only for the caliber gun specified on registration

New purchases must be picked up at registration office

So after paying for the firearm and filling out the 4473, the dealer has to transfer your firearm to the registration office where you take possession of it. I wonder how much the fee will be to transfer guns between locations? And where will these registration offices be located?

Extensive mental evaluation

Performed by whom?

 

[moe mensale]

Mandatory liability insurance for firearms

Ahhhh. The unobtainium liability insurance.

 

[moe mensale]

Waiting period for gun purchase extended to three months to allow all paperwork to pass

They're planning on hiring former ATF NFA employees?

I think these people don't have a clue what the real problem is so they'll just infringe on the good people to show they did something.

From the article linked to in the Bearing Arms story.

Matthews also talked about a recent shooting in downtown Birmingham that killed 17-year-old Isaiah Johnson. That shooting happened after what police say was a gun transaction, arranged through Facebook, went bad. Johnson and his friend planned to rob the third person who has not been publicly identified, police said.

The unidentified person then shot and killed Johnson. He was not charged with a crime.

The list is such a fantasy that perhaps its actually the authors that need the "Extensive mental evaluation"?

 

[00Dan]

What reality do they live in that they view this as "passable?"

Wasn't AL one of the states that adopted a constitutional amendment requiring strict scrutiny for all claims against their state 2A analogue? That would shoot any of this down real fast.

Mandatory gun safes; only registered owner will have combination

Does that mean if my son has a gun and my wife has a gun would have to have three safes?
Two of which would only have one or two guns.

Prolly.
So 3 electronic safes, programmed with the same combination, but you
each memorize only one...
Stupid and completely unenforceable. Who would know?

Interesting new development. Take a close look at the picture of the organizers at the event.

Two things - why does Frank Matthews, who by news reports has over 30 arrests for drug and other activities in Cleveland, have an unsecured pistol at a public demonstration in Alabama where doing so is a violation of 13A-11-59? Hmmm....
