Videos tagged with Gun Violence Funding

This video discusses Illinois House Bill 3320, a proposed law that would require firearm manufacturers to obtain a license to do business in the state. The cost of this license would be determined by the manufacturer's perceived contribution to Illinois's gun violence problem. The bill has gained momentum with 23 co-sponsors, and if enacted, could impose significant financial burdens on manufacturers, which the speaker describes as government-sanctioned extortion.

This video critiques New York's handling of gun violence prevention funding, highlighting the delayed establishment of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention despite former Governor Cuomo declaring a state of emergency. It questions the allocation of funds and the effectiveness of the declared emergency, suggesting a political motivation rather than a genuine commitment to reducing gun violence.

This video discusses the allocation of $5 billion for 'community violence prevention programs' within Biden's infrastructure plan. The speaker expresses concern that this funding is being used as a backdoor to implement gun control measures, bypassing standard legislative hurdles like the Senate filibuster and the 'Bird Rule' through budget reconciliation. The rapid shift in stance from gun control advocates like John Feinblatt is highlighted as suspicious.
