This will affect ALL of us!

Admin and moderators I know this should probably go in GR&CL or Politics but I feel it important that everyone of us sees this and acts on it. This is HR 127 introduced by Sheila Jackson Lee and it will SEVERELY curtail our 2A rights. This is drastic!
If it gets moved I will consider myself forewarned but I think this is important enough to ALL gun owners that it should be placed where it will get viewed the maximum number of times.

Truly scary.
it night start a war . I always think the over the top bills won’t pass,.. then I remember you used to be able to own a machine gun without a tax stamp !!!
I guess I best stock up on soap on a rope.
Your impassioned plea is recognized. I will go so far as to make this a stickie.
the minimum fines are outragous, didn't state if muzzleloading bullets over 50 caliber were exempt
Can you hear the Gestapo marching down the street now ?..................😡 NOTE: Thanks for posting this !

Thank you, Mark!
I don't want to be friends with that person.
Have already sent email to my Congress-critter.
Interesting read but has holes in it from sharpshooters. Taxation without Representation. Same reason there was an American Revolution. Privacy Act 1974. Go ahead and publish private information, see where you end up. I cannot publish or discuss any of my Tenants. This is the very time that All of us should stick together. No more bickering , no more pointing fingers, just the facts. The Dems are just throwing things and seeing if they stick on the wall. But they have forgotten Americans are strong. What is next Taxing FFLS 250,000 dollars a yr to stay in business. They can run their mouths but I have to say that enough is enough. That suggestion of a bill won't tread water. They have violated the rights of Americans to possess firearms and gotten into the private sector of the individual. Pure discrimination by making an American take a mental test to have any item not just firearms. If folks are sane enough to file taxes, work at their job(s) , buy homes or rent, drive a car safely down the highway and not be in a nuthouse that is good enough. Big Brother is stepping in an area where Americans will step back on their toes. Big Brother should take care of their business and keep their nose out of ours. Be gentle on the responses getting upset, threatening Big Brother in NOT the way to handle them.
Thanks for sharing
Who would have ever dreamed such a bill would come from the state of Texas.
Places always stay the same. SHEEPLE move around and like to graze where the grass is greener!
Well just imagine when I go to our statehouse and tell them All to close down Hunting in SC because no one can own a firearm. Dept of Natural Resources operates in the state to manage wildlife...
The Republicans have ZERO power to stop, enact, or even comment on ANYTHING. Our country is being run by it's ENEMIES. Soon they WILL SHUT DOWN Gunbroker.com. We will all soon be criminals.
Sheila had one brain cell and it died of loneliness.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
If history tells us anything, the Quislings in the GOP will cave to some of this. Make a note of them and work to create their unemployment in 2023.
Resist individually. Do not comply.
Pressure any FFL you know to close his or her books to inspectors. Passive resistance on a large scale, organized passive resistance, and very public passive resistance by decent upstanding Americans. Americans in quantities that cannot be ignored or dismissed.
Offer no information, comply with nothing. If we do this en masse a repeal of even the least offensive infringement can be effected. If, however, we follow the path of history, and give a little to protect what we have today, we are signing away the rights, freedoms, and liberty itself of our children, grandchildren, and all future citizens.
Their will be millions who cower and comply.
Do not be one of them.
I will not comply. Please join me, if not for yourself, for the future of freedom in the United States of America.

Hello everyone , I Got this quote from surfing the net a while ago and I think it fits quite well the subject at hand.
“The Rights of every man are diminished when the Rights of one man are threatened.” ...
If this passes, and Joe signs it, then all hell will break loose. There will be a battle with States and Counties that are 2nd Amendment sanctuaries. Challenges will be made in court my hosts of gun interests from organizations, to stores, to owners. With hundreds of millions of guns in the US this could be a disaster. They don't have enough manpower to enforce such a thing and many LEO's and Sheriffs will not enforce it either.
My friends who are Law Enforcement have already told their boss- Tell me to enforce this kinda stuff, you get my badge!
remember 1939 there are those in authourity that will side with the devil to save there own hides
...This wont go anywhere, let alone pass.
How many MILLIONS of firearms in every state? It would be virtually impossible to adhere to this MORONS bill...and the local, state, federal governments, LEO's know it. She is just putting on a "show" for some of her constituents, that, is how she gets elected...
Never assume something won't happen,........Biden is the latest example of that. Who would have ever figured that a dementia ridden idiot, with a family line full of corruption would ever be elected with the highest number of votes to date. Even more than Hillary and Obama. Yea,...I believe that really happened.🤣
The lesson to learn from this is ANYTHING can happen in the current environment.
I have said it before and will parrot what Don McManus said here.
I REFUSE TO COMPLY, end of discussion.
If passed the only way to fight back against it is PEACEFUL open, notorious, mass non-compliance to this junk law.
WE THE PEOPLE run this nation not the WE ARE YOUR ELECTED MASTERS. The Elected Masters have gotten away with walking over the American Citizen for far too long.
I believe the Term Limits Legislation put on the floor by Senator Ted Cruz will prevent this bill from ever being voted on. If the Dems eliminate the Filibuster to pass this and other bills they will be passing their own pink slips and will be out of office at the next midterm election. I dont believe they can get around this Legislation nor would be worth the end of their careers to pass it.
I agree completely. Who could have imagined not that long ago that the level of ignorance and utter stupidity of so many people in this country would have made it possible for Biden and Harris to win. I remember when Gary Hart was widely viewed as the front-runner for the Democrat presidential nomination until reports surfaced of an extramarital affair, and Hart withdrew from the race, now days the media wouldn't even report it or do everything in their power to protect him and people wouldn't care.
As long as DEMOCRATs are in control, the Bill of Rights is in peril and its not just your gun rights.
Dont expect the media to look out for you, the media IS the DEMOCRAT party.
Most of them are old and filthy rich..why should they care if they get voted out..??.. they are busy trying to hurt Trump right now.. but when that is over then they will go after guns.. they have two years to pass as many gun control laws as they can..only the rich will own guns...
I can't believe the crap being pushed through congress or even attempted. I spent 22 years in the MC for this country, now they tell me I have to jump through hoops to own a firearm are ammunition. I was good enough then to have one starting at age 17......
The Dems are just waiting for the next school shooting so they can introduce more gun control legislation. They are looking for an excuse to disarm law abiding citizens who support the Constitution.
Shelia Jackson Lee Has been introducing this bill every year, nothing new. Just Hype. Now Joe Biden stopping interstate gun sales by decree is something that could happen soon enough and ask yourself why GB urrrr is ..... fill in the blanks I don't want to be banned here.
serf
I would be careful There Mr. Perfect. The Mods are real touchy now.
serf
I find it rather sad that this legislation was named after a young girl that was murdered by a person that was ALREADY prohibited by existing law from POSSESSING a firearm.
There is that, and the fact that nothing in the legislation would change anything that happened that day other than, maybe, forcing Remington to spend millions defending itself in court.
Obviously this is the case with most gun legislation. Absent the complete banning and confiscation of all firearms, bad actors will do bad things. This, while probably the goal, will never happen, so the obvious goal is to simply make legal ownership so difficult that most folks will just throw in the towel.

The Government knows they can't take away all the guns.. But they can severely cut the flow of ammo...and it seems they are doing it right now...
If the shoe fits.....
There are those who thought the NY Safe Act of 2013 would not pass. They would be wrong. Every county in this state was against it except NYC, Westchester, LI. Then the TYRANT Andrew Cuomo slammed the door shut and conspired with Skelos and Silver behind closed door. Both are in jail now I believe. Never gave "We the People" a chance to review it. Passed it out to legislators and gave them a few minutes to read almost 90 pages. King Cuomo claimed it was a "Message of Necessity" BS. What happened to his commission to study corruption in New York State. He disbanded it. The bum belongs in prison. Look at his record then and now. Their is no other option for us except civil disobedience. I will not compromise. I will not comply. Molon Labe --------------------Ray
"FILE - In this Feb. 25, 2019, file photo Dimitrios Pagourtzis, the Santa Fe High School teenage student accused of killing 10 people in a May 2018 shooting at the high school, is escorted by Galveston County Sheriff's Office deputies into the jury assembly room for a change of venue hearing at the Galveston County Courthouse in Galveston, Texas. Pagourtzis was able to buy more than 100 rounds of ammunition online because his age was not verified, according to an amended lawsuit filed Thursday, March 5, 2020, alleging that the website involved broke federal law. Pagourtzis was a 17-year-old junior at the time of the May 2018 shooting at Santa Fe High School. (Jennifer Reynolds/The Galveston County Daily News via AP, Pool, File)"
