A new state-issued eligibility certificate would also be needed to purchase any rifle, shotgun or ammunition under the legislation. To get the certificate, a buyer would need to be fingerprinted, take a firearms training course and undergo a national criminal background check and involuntary commitment or voluntary admission check.
The government isn't really going after anyone's guns. Sure they threw up some quick legislation to try and appease their democratic base but as you can see...momentum for it has all but disappeared.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama urged lawmakers Thursday to remember the children gunned down in America and not ‘‘get squishy’’ in the face of powerful forces against gun control legislation, as supporters struggle to win over moderate Democrats before a Senate vote expected next month.

Obama said the upcoming vote is the best chance in more than a decade to reduce gun violence. He encouraged Americans, especially gun owners, to press lawmakers home from a congressional spring break to ‘‘turn that heartbreak into something real.’’
‘‘Don’t get squishy because time has passed and it’s not on the news every single day,’’ Obama said.

If you go to Wikipedia you can get the real story for gods sake but it does not matter. If it is in the news by TPTB is must be true.
A Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy, Neil Gardner, was assigned to the high school as a full-time uniformed and armed school resource officer. Gardner usually ate lunch with students in the cafeteria, but on April 20 he was eating lunch in his patrol car at the northwest corner of the campus, watching students in the Smokers' Pit in Clement Park.
At 11:22, the custodian called Deputy Gardner on the school radio, requesting assistance in the Senior parking lot. The only paved route took him around the school to the east and south on Pierce Street, where, at 11:23 he heard on his police radio that a female was down, struck by a car, he assumed. He turned on his lights and siren. While exiting his patrol car in the Senior lot at 11:24, he heard another call on the school radio, "Neil, there's a shooter in the school".[23] Harris, at the West Entrance, immediately fired his rifle at Gardner, who was sixty yards away.[23] Gardner returned fire with his service pistol.[31] He was not wearing his prescription eyeglasses, and was unable to hit the shooters.[

At the end of the day, not much will have changed. If these were false flags by the government it is safe to say they failed miserably.
This wasn't part of Obama's agenda until his extreme base demanded action. The same as gay-marriage was not part of his agenda until Biden opened his mouth and forced Obama to take a position.

Save for the poor slobs in NY, CT, CO, DE, MN and IL. Those states have taken a flying leap off the psycho-reactionary tyrant cliff in recent months.
We can only hope the courts bitch-slap some sanity back into them and anyone unlucky enough to be jailed or prosecuted under their asinine new laws gets some compensation.

Conn state legislature just passed sweeping gun laws without even telling the REAL story behind Sandy Hook. They fail to mention that Nancy Lanza knew Adam had mental problems yet purchased guns and ammo for him and allowed him access to them. Why is everyone blaming the guns and NOBODY is blaming her? This would not have happened if she was not so horrifically irresponsible.

Discussing the utter mishandling of the breaking story by the MSM is one thing, questions about what happened are fine, but, defaming, libeling, or otherwise exposing innocent people, especially those who are still suffering from this tragedy, to further insult or pain is below the base level of compassion we can tolerate.

Well they are pushing gun control while blaming Adam Lanza with his guns yet they fail to even mention where those guns came from. Leaving out those salient facts of the story is a conspiracy itself. They don't want blame to be placed anywhere but Adam and his guns............they claim that every weapon was legally registered to Nancy then later say some were straw purchases yet in that same breath fail to state she let him have access to them. The MSM nor the legislators are even attempting to tell the entire truth of the facts they have.
