NEWTOWN, Conn –-(Ammoland.com)- Earlier this week anti-gun U.S. Senators Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal, both of Connecticut, along with Congressman Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty (D-CT) introduced legislation that would require prospective handgun buyers to pass a test and submit to fingerprinting and a background check in order to acquire a license just to have the opportunity exercise their Second Amendment rights.
(The purchaser also would have to pass subsequent background checks at the point of purchase.)
The bill is based on a biased and seriously flawed study by the anti-gun, Bloomberg-funded Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
This legislation, which amounts to a poll tax on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, will certainly be met with significant resistance on Capitol Hill.

I propose a identical license be required to vote. A Citizen should be aware of the issues that are necessary for intelligent voting.
This should finally prove to even the lowest of low information voters that democrats are statists first and last. They are after ALL of our rights, once they have destroyed the 2nd Amendment they are free to attack all the others.
The same fing BS they passed in Maryland , then to buy a gun you still have to go through a background check every time you buy a gun . So what does the HQL good for ? NOTHING !
“Another” back-door registry for firearms for law abiding citizens. I agree with ‘Eric’…an 800 hour long course on the Constitution…for ALL politicians. Must have a “passing score” of 95% or better…and the results made public. Fail it twice and they must leave office…permanently…never to return.
I propose that all the gun-grabbing liberal parasites go straight to hell !
I propose a law that all Democratic party members attend a year long 800 hours ,Consitutional course at their expense to be a politician. Repeated every 4 years,
