HR 125....if I only have to wait 7 days for a suppressor....I wish.
HR 167....I guess I'll just sell my personal property anywhere but a gun show....they should make it illegal to sell a gun under the big freeway sign at Bass Pro.

Long long way from a law.

Indeed they are; but with the shift in power within our government, I don’t expect there to be much opposition to some of these.

 

[Kingjoey]

Four of those bills are all from the same retarded fatass who dresses like a 1970's pimp. I'm pretty sure she's illiterate so I wonder who wrote them for her

My spot too.

Pretty much. Even if some of these magically make it, they will be rewritten so many times that we have no way of knowing the impact.

Did I miss the link to the text on these bill's? I only saw the summary.

All of them suck but I'm curious about the suppressor one. Dont think that would even be considered.

All are still alarming. They are wasting no time.

I'm guessing it was written my someone(s) who have absolutely no idea how anything works in real life. I'm sure they think you can buy an full auto, suppressed, short barreled AR15 on Amazon using 2-Day Prime Shipping.

You won't see the full text until the bills are "read" into the Federal Register. Can take a week sometimes.

Yeah, the text will be updated to show the entire bill as they go through the process. I posted because they were just added a couple days ago, and I wanted to bring attention to it early. Seems like many of these bills get pretty far into the process before people start really paying attention and then realize that they're a few weeks away from voting on it.

Very possible that they will lose momentum and die somehwere, but who knows.

This is only the start - and the lackadaisical dismissal of these getting anywhere is not the right attitude to have.

Doesn't take much effort to e-mail/call/letter those involved.

Complacency is the quickest way to lose what little rights we have.

Trump just got smile f***ed by the most conservative bunch he could find in DC and you think emails and letters will get you something other than on a shortlist with them...

 

[iammaxwell]

They won't waste any time trying to get as much thru as they can. Not just on this, but any other issue as well. Taxes, "green", etc. Going to be a long hard grind the next few years...

Better than doing nothing and sitting around bitching about it later. I would rather make all the effort I can - than do nothing.

You must've missed the tens of thousands of comments sent to the ATF regarding pistol braces, leading to them dropping the issue (for the time being) and pulling back on it.

As mentioned; it isn't hard to take a couple minutes and say something. The complacency within the gun community and NRA is a big part of how so many battles have already been lost over the recent years.

Those who aren't willing to pick up a pen, surely won't be willing to pick up a rifle.

I never understood the mentality of doing nothing when doing something takes such little effort.

Doing nothing accomplishes nothing 100% of the time. Even if doing something has a 1% chance of working - that is infinitely a better result.

The biggest problems with the gun community is the percentage of those who won't do even the smallest thing to try to preserve what we have left, and the nearly rabid levels of the community eating itself over the stupidest shit.

I was appalled by how slowly people started commenting on the most recent brace issue on the ATF's open comment system. These dingles can spend 4 hours a day arguing and name calling over calibers, who is more "operator," and complaining about existing laws - yet can't take literally a minute and a half to add their voice to a conversation that may be worth something.

People say the dumbest stuff like "well if I send letters, emails, or comment then they know who I am, or that I might have stuff." If you are ignorant enough to think any combination on known and unknown three letter agencies don't know enough about you to figure out that your a "gun person" then you are the kind of stupid the short bus wouldn't even pick up. I probably have a dedicated geosynchronous satellite pointed at my house on the sole basis of my amazon shopping history.

 

[tlieberman240]

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous.

It's really not hard to see why 2A rights have been such a losing battle for so long when you step back and look at it. Add to the fact that the political left have a pretty good grasp on hollywood, big tech, education system and so on... and I'm honestly shocked sometimes that we still have anything at this point.

Culture is upstream of politics, and there's a lot of push in culture saying that any and all guns are bad, and so are the people who have any of them.

For the longer term (Bills becoming law) we can only hope that they are unable to stack the supreme court and that the 3 justices T replaced will support 2a. My immediate concern is that BATF will begin acting immediately on some sort of executive order. The other concern is they will manufacture anti-2a support in some way or another.
