Federal Bill Seeks to Use Your Taxes to Bribe States to Require Gun Licenses

3:00pm Monday, June 29, 2015

It's bad enough that antigun members of Congress want to enact federal legislation to impose the elitist views of their coastal enclaves on the entire country. What's worse is that in typical Big Government fashion, they want to use your tax dollars to accomplish their schemes. The latest example of this is the "Handgun Purchaser Licensing Act," which at least has the distinction of having an...
