What exactly HR 1127 is supposed to do? Like I say is cash for booze hookers and guns, credit for everything else.

HR 1127 exhorts, but does not require (mostly because Illinois state doesn't have the authority to do so), banks to charge higher credit card fees to businesses that sell guns and ammo. It is important that the higher fees do not apply just to guns and ammo. They apply to any credit card transaction.

 

Recall that Citibank announced a short time ago that it was dropping clients that sold any firearms to anyone under 21 or semi-automatic rifles. Notice that Citibank is not on the list targeted by HR 1127. This resolution is basically an attempt to get credit cards and credit card processors to follow in Citibank's footsteps.

 

So maybe you use cash for all your guns. That works great especially for face-to-face transactions that occur across state lines with no FFL or 4473 in sight, because The Man doesn't need to know. For the rest of us, credit cards are convenient to the point of being essential.

 

I think it's also worth noting that Wells Fargo is also not on the list of credit card processors targeted. After Citibank announced they were dropping (probably all) gun stores, etc., as clients, Well Fargo announced that they would never do any such thing.

In an odd twist on our system of freedom in the United States the Sponsor, Representative Willis, asks"if you're doing everything right what do you have to fear".

 

The answer is you Ms. Willis, and everyone like you who hates gun ownership.

 

Breathtaking! The caliber of people who are "our representatives" on full display.

She states that there will be an amendment - that the penalty for failing to conduct a background check is currently a Class A Misdemeanor and will remain a Class A.

 

This is not correct

 

It is currently not even a petty offense.

 

They are working on inconsistencies in the statutes - some places "unlawful" transfer is misdemeanor, some cases a felony. Sponsor open to our discussion about the petty offense. Will hold on second while we discuss.
