In case you missed the news on Saturday, gun owners are facing the worst gun bill in recent American history in HR. 5717.
While American citizens are distracted by grocery store shortages and devastating economic repercussions from the Corona Virus, now they are also in the fight of their lives against HR 5717.
This federal bill, sneakily and intentionally introduced during the Corona virus crisis, is a literal encyclopedia of gun control. Every ugly gun control law you can think of is in this thing!
Mega Bill: A Nightmare For Gun Owners
Introduced by Rep. Hank Johnson of Georgia’s 4th Congressional District, HR 5717 would all but destroy the Second Amendment. Here are some of the items contained in it:
- Mandate a license to buy guns
- Create a nationwide gun registry
- Ban almost all semiautomatic rifles
- Institute a Federal Magazine Ban
- Implement national “Red Flag” gun confiscation
- Tax guns at 30% and ammo at 50%
- Ban patriots under 21 from exercising their Second Amendment rights
- Ration guns by making it illegal to purchase more than one firearm in 30-day period
- Force “Safe Storage” requirements on gun owners
- Ban suppressors
- Force FFLs to spend massive amounts of money to comply with new “security” requirements and resulting in the closure of hundreds or even thousands of gun stores
- Expand “Gun Free Zones” to colleges and universities
Every single one of these measures is unconstitutional and a damn outrage. But most gun owners know that already.
