		<description>The only good thing about this kind of legislation is that it would be nearly impossible to check for every person. Most of the time, legal immigrants backgrounds are not checked against criminal records in other countries, because it would take years and cost thousands per applicant, and could easily be flawed, mistaken, overlooked, or intentionally left out because of bribes by the applicant, which is perfectly reasonable. 

Generally, the burden of proof in a case where a person was convicted of possessing a firearm while having been a felon in a foriegn land would be entirely on the prosecution, and they would likely have to go to these places to find evidence to support their case. This would make the law totally ineffective as anything but a scare tactic, and any judge worth their robe would throw these cases out as soon as they appeared.</description>

		<description>DiFi and many of her fellow Senatorial Democrats are radical leftist statists - the sovereignty of these United States doesn&#039;t mean all that much to them. The ends justify the means to these folks. 

Statists like DiFi would rather see a Marxist one-world government become an eventual reality anyway, so that&#039;s why they are all too happy whenever they see their brethren American radical leftist judges citing foreign laws in their rulings from the bench. 

Being that radical leftist statists like DiFi also seek to disarm as much of the populace as they possibly can, since it&#039;s far easier to oppress the masses this way, it should come as no surprise that DiFi now wants to use convictions from foreign courts to bar Americans from being legal firearms owners. (See my above reference about that whole ends/means thing.)</description>

		<description>I&#039;ll send her a letter.  Her staff already has a special place on their workroom bulletin board dedicated to my rants, sort of like the urban legend of the man who keeps writing the Smithsonian.</description>

		<description>What, they couldn&#039;t get both NJ Senators to sign up? Or is Menendez holding out for more than DiFi is willing to pay?</description>

		<description>So far you only have 5 cosponsors.  Durbin, Gilliturncoat, Lautenberg, Schumer, and Whitehouse.  Introduced right before recess... I would suggest DiFi doesn&#039;t believe it&#039;s going anywhere.  But it&#039;s one to watch for sure.</description>
