Congress is Coming for Our Firearms

I’m not a lawyer but this doesn’t look legal to me. States rights? Sheila Jackson Lee is a bond fide nutcase! I doubt this will go anywhere.

Lets not panic quite yet. 

Regardless of party affiliation; there are still members of Congress who understand and will protect the Constitution.

 

This is of course a horrendous bill; but is simply garbage being fed to the hogs of this persons district who view such trash as progress.

From past memories, there seems to be a 'majority' of members on both sides that are very cautious about

voting for new, permanent type gun laws.

 

Some of the more liberal, mouthy members get media attention, but when it gets down to subcommittees and actual

voting, many are not to comfortable voting for new gun laws, etc.

 

On the other hand, I can see where ammo might get taxed higher, using some well meaning efforts to spend the extra

'gun tax' revenue as an excuse to raise taxes.

 

Anyhow, thats my .02

Let’s hope the prediction is correct... 

This bill has a 2% chance of being enacted.

Factors considered:

The bill's primary sponsor is from the state/territory: TX. The bill's primary sponsor is a Democrat. The bill is assigned to the House Judiciary committee.

(Factors are based on correlations which may not indicate causation.)

Predictions are by Skopos Labs.

It is a rehash of HR 4081 from the 116th session. That one died without going to a vote.

 

I can't see this one passing either, and if it did, I can't see it as constitutional.

 

Lets consider some tidbits from it:

  • Creates a firearms registry
  • Creates an owners registry
  • Database includes firearms storage locations
  • Database open to all members of the public
  • Requires license to own a firearm
  • Must notify Fed of all firearms loans to other people
  • Person firearm loaned to must be licensed
  • License expires annually for 1st 5 years
  • License expires every 3 years after 1st 5 years
  • Renewal requires 8 hours of AG-approved training in each licensed weapon type
  • License requires NICS check
  • License requires psych evaluation
  • Psychologists must be approved by the AG
  • Psych eval requires interviewing spouses and ex-spouses
  • Psych eval requires interviewing at least two additional household members or associates
  • Requires gun owners to have an insurance policy
  • Fee for insurance is paid to the AG
  • Insurance is $800 per year
  • No exception for antique firearms
  • Antique firearms must be stored when not displayed in a manner approved by the AG
  • "Military style" weapons require special licensing
  • "Military style" license requires 24 hours training
  • Surrender all firearms to the AG if license is revoked/not renewed
  • Violations carry penalties up to $100,000 and 25 years in jail
  • If a transferred firearm is used in a crime, suicide, or unintentional shooting, the transferor can go to prison for 40 years
  • Bans .50 cal
  • Bans "large capacity" magazines

I'm sure I missed something...

Remember Australia.  Our "O So Wise" leadership would love to do that here.  <_<

 

Just think... somewhere in this bin may be a Pigeon Grade Model 12.  :(

 

 

In Sydney, thousands of banned firearms were collected in 1997 as part of the Australian government’s buyback program after the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre, in which 35 people died when a gunman went on a shooting rampage.
