As for a law about reporting illegals who try to buy a gun, at the risk of sounding like a broken record by criticizing "conservative gun control," I submit a more effective solution would be to remove them from the country and have the means to keep them out.

Haven't Covid shutdowns proven that most of these jobs can be done remotely via telework? Why do they need to physically live here?
The humane thing to do would be to not force them to leave their homes and extended families and friends, and to pay them what they'd be paid here, allowing them to share the wealth with their countrymen based on products and services they would now be in a position to pay for locally. That is assuming qualified Americans can't be found, since the Preamble requires government actons "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity."

Well, Rep. Karen Bass certainly qualifies as an expert on “police misconduct,” considering that for decades she’s been providing aid and comfort to a police state that jailed and tortured political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin’s during the Great Terror and murdered more in its first three years in power than Hitler’s murdered during his first six.

"You know, it doesn't sound like 'Antifa is an idea.' Whoever came up with that load of crap... Antifa is not an idea. Antifa is a terrorist organization..." [Watch]
What's telling is how the Three Percent, which IS an idea, IS being conflated with a terrorist organization.
Here's what Mike had to say, and what those exploiting his ideas, typically without acknowledgment, are ignoring:
The Three Percent idea, the movement, the ideal, was designed to be a simple, powerful concept that could not be infiltrated or subjected to agents provocateurs like many organizations that I observed in the constitutional militia movement of the 90s. In this I was both correct and dead wrong, as I have been battling folks almost since the beginning who have misunderstood, deliberately or not, what the Three Percent was in history, what it is today and what its aims are for the future.
And here's another lie being spread by the enemies of freedom:
The term “Three Percenter” refers to the erroneous belief that only 3% of colonists fought against the British during the Revolutionary War—but achieved liberty for everybody.
What Mike actually said:
During the American Revolution, the active forces in the field against the King's tyranny never amounted to more than 3% of the colonists.
