When Second Amendment opponents tell you they will stop at nothing to harass gun owners and ultimately strip away the right to keep and bear arms, believe them.
One such activist, Pennsylvania state Representative Amen Brown (D), introduced a bill in the state House last week to require anyone attending a gun show to produce identification.
And it gets worse.
Gun show management would be forced to maintain a copy of the patron’s ID for five years. They would also have to turn it over to state or local authorities upon request, and there are no parameters or limits on the reasons for demanding identification.
Brown attempted to justify his attempt at legislative overreach by citing a nonexistent issue in Pennsylvania.
The representative referenced the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) final rule prohibiting the sale of popular gun kits without the parts being imprinted with serial numbers.
Brown inexplicably tried to link these so-called “ghost guns” with gun shows, even though there reportedly have been no kits sold at these events anywhere in Pennsylvania since the passage of the controversial ATF rule.
An injunction prohibits the rule, though the U.S. Supreme Court stayed its decision while considering the Garland v. VanDerStok case.
“Ghost guns have become a very real problem in Pennsylvania,” Brown claimed. “These guns often begin as DIY gun kits that can be legally purchased without a background check, feature no serial number, and when constructed, produce fully functioning firearms.”
The legislator added, “Having seen firsthand how easy it is to purchase a ghost gun kit at a gun show, I recognize that we must take legislative action to keep these weapons out of the hands of criminals.”
Because in his world, gun shows are a haven for violent criminals seeking weapons with which to prey on innocent civilians.
The truth is far different. These traditional events bring Second Amendment enthusiasts together and are a great meeting place for those looking to add to their collections.
Collections that are passed down to the next generation of sporting enthusiasts.
It must be noted that Brown has a long track record of opposing gun shows. This is typical of anti-Second Amendment lawmakers, who are horrified by the gathering of freedom-loving citizens to enjoy their time-honored hobby.
National Rifle Association (NRA) instructor John Crump cited Brown’s history of resentment toward these events. The lawmaker has actively lobbied suppliers and retailers to end their affiliation with gun shows.
Ammoland News interviewed JSD Supply owner Jordan Vinroe. Brown’s disturbing activism previously targeted his company, though the businessman steadfastly resisted and is still active in gun shows.
Vinroe blasted the proposal as opposed to the Bill of Rights.
“Such measures will infringe on First Amendment rights by deterring lawful assembly and participation in constitutionally protected activities,” Vinroe explained to the pro-gun outlet. “The requirement to scan and store attendees’ identification will violate Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures, as it imposes an unwarranted intrusion into personal privacy.”
Second Amendment advocacy group Gun Owners of America (GOA) lowered Brown’s rating on gun rights from “F” to “F-” in the wake of his proposal.
Pennsylvania GOA Director Dr. Val Finnell ripped Brown’s measure as another step toward the stated goal of anti-gunners—an official registry of firearms and their owners.
“Amen Brown’s proposed legislation would create a registry of anyone who attends a gun show in Pennsylvania by requiring promoters to keep a copy of every attendee’s ID for five years,” Finnell explained.
Thankfully for defenders of constitutional rights, the legislation is virtually dead on arrival. Pennsylvania lawmakers are unlikely to approve such a draconian measure targeting law-abiding citizens, meaning Brown is engaged in the meaningless posturing common among his anti-gun colleagues.
