Last week, when Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi introduced H.R. 8, her national gun registration scheme, five Republican House Members signed on to her bill.
A handful of Republican lawmakers are joining forces with Nancy Pelosi to advance her universal background check bill, which would, if passed, create a national gun registry.
"Five Republican House members have joined the Democrat push to criminalize private gun sales," Breitbart.com reports. "The five are Reps. Peter King (R-NY), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Fred Upton (R-Mich.), Chris Smith (R-NJ), and Brian Mast (R-FL)."
Background checks are nothing more than a firearms registration system, which has historically been a precursor to full-fledged firearms confiscation. Many point to Nazi Germany as one of the best examples of what comes of gun registration. Most people probably do not know that it was not the Nazis nor Hitler who initiated gun registration. It actually was the preexisting Weimar government's initiative put into law because of their fears of the Communists and Nazis. The Weimar government implemented laws that the Nazis would later use to oppress the German people, namely, German Jews.
Although Hitler rapidly expanded upon what the Weimar government had instituted, this historical event reminds us that well-intentional laws passed by good people can be used by the next round of political operatives to devastating effect. This is why it is so important to stop any hint of universal background checks: such a measure could open the door to a disastrous future..
Immediately after Pelosi, along with Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) and former Rep. Gabby Giffords, unveiled their universal background check bill (H.R. 8), the National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) said in a release the law would:
*** OUTRIGHT BAN all private firearms sales --
requiring every gun purchase to be pre-
approved by the federal government at YOUR
expense.
*** MAKE IT ILLEGAL to let your friend or even
family member borrow your firearm on a
hunting trip.
*** FORCE all firearm purchases to be registered
through the Brady-NICS registration system.
