Gun control debate (merged)

[C-south]

You think that isn't the motive? Making it so hard to get people won't fool with it.

I’m sure that’s part of it but there are already more guns than people. Just getting it started, assuming everyone complied, would be a nightmare.

 

[hog88]

Doubtful. Disagreeing with @hog88 on this one. I'm not sure it makes it out of the House much less to the Senate. It's literally the most draconian measures ever put into a gun control document in our history. The psychological evaluation alone will keep it from passing and I feel would be struck down by the SCOTUS.

I don't think anyone who might face a challenge in 22 will vote for it in either portion of Congress.

How dare you!

I hope you're right but I think the Ds have again misread the election results and think they have a mandate to get their agenda passed.

 

[C-south]

That is a bill written by tyrants.

She isn’t very bright and her knowledge of guns is worse than De Leon’s, which is sad. How these people get elected is beyond me. These people can’t keep their own districts in check but feel they need to legislate for everyone. I guess coming after everyone’s .50 cal AR 15s that weight 50 pounds will cure the black on black crime in Houston.

This is because they saw what could eventually happen to them. Also... they saw that when those folks weren’t even armed. Folks will grow tired of begging for their natural rights eventually.

And so it begins...

Text - H.R.127 - 117th Congress (2021-2022): Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act

I love how they recycled the list from the 94 AWB for the "military style weapons."

co-sponsors = zero

There is more WTF!? in that than I can wrap my head around on first reading. I mean, what the hell is this "psychological evaluation" bit?

(2) PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION.—A psychological evaluation is conducted in accordance with this paragraph if—
“(A) the evaluation is conducted in compliance with such standards as shall be established by the Attorney General;

“(B) the evaluation is conducted by a licensed psychologist approved by the Attorney General;

“(C) as deemed necessary by the licensed psychologist involved, the evaluation included a psychological evaluation of other members of the household in which the individual resides; and

“(D) as part of the psychological evaluation, the licensed psychologist interviewed any spouse of the individual, any former spouse of the individual, and at least 2 other persons who are a member of the family of, or an associate of, the individual to further determine the state of the mental, emotional, and relational stability of the individual in relation to firearms.

Wonder who's supposed to pay for all these psych evals?
Do you think the poor and minority gun owners can afford this stuff?

Maybe throw some voter IDs in there.

It's an order of magnitude beyond the idea of a "poll tax".

How dare you!

I don't think all of them have misread it. The only ones that will vote for it will be those safe during the next election. I doubt you see any Republicans cross the aisle in the House or Senate and I'd bet you might even see some Dems cross over like Manchin and Sienna.

I’ve read a little more and it seems they’re trying to make us Canada. I think we are way too far gone for that. This right here is ridiculous:

“(B) ACCESS.—The Attorney General shall make the contents of the database accessible to all members of the public, all Federal, State, and local law enforcement authorities, all branches of the United States Armed Forces, and all State and local governments, as defined by the Bureau.

No wonder they also add you have to store your weapons in a safe or an approved location by the AG.

Does the bottom of the closest navigable body of water count?

Hope you're right.

I suspect there would be "civil disobedience" on a scale never seen before in this country if somehow it did pass.

Plus, consider who introduced it. It's not like she's the poster child for rational thought.

That explains so much. When they say "trust the science" this is clearly what they meant.
