I guess they are wanting to see a battle in our own land. From our congressman Jeff Duncan.
I've received many questions about HR 127, The Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act introduced by Congresswoman Jackson Lee.
First of all, this is one of those bills that's actually worse than what you've probably heard. It also proves that yes, there are plenty of politicians out there who want to take your guns.
Here's an overview of the legislation:
1) Establishes a firearms registration system within the ATF
2) Registered individuals must notify the ATF every time they loan their firearms
3) May not loan firearms to anyone under the age of 18, does not seem to have any exception for hunting or recreation
4) All firearms acquired before this legislation must also be registered
5) Creates a firearms and ammunition licensing system
6) Must be in possession in order to purchase or posses firearms or ammunition
7) Must be 21 years old to obtain a license
8) Must go through psychological evaluation
9) Must have firearms insurance, like car insurance, to cover damages resulting from the use of any firearm by the person
10) Need a separate license for Antique Firearm Display
11) Must describe how it will be displayed and demonstrate that it is stored in a manner as approved by the AG.
12) Need a separate license for “Military-Style Weapons”
13) Licenses may be suspended if individual is under indictment, not even charged, for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year.
14) Must renew licenses every year for 5 years, then once every three years (this provision has already been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, but the author doesn't seem to care).
15) Prohibits possession of certain ammunition, and based on my reading does not provide an exception for shotguns, so 12 and 20 gauge could be prohibited under this legislation.
16) Prohibits “large” capacity feeding devices (10 rounds)
17) Possessing a firearm or ammunition without a license and registration is a minimum fine of $75K and minimum sentence of 15 years
18) Transferring a firearm or ammunition to a person who is not licensed is a minimum fine of $50K and minimum sentence of 10 years
19) Selling or giving a firearm or ammunition without notifying the Attorney General is a minimum fine of $30K and minimum sentence of 5 years
20) Loaning a firearm or ammunition without notifying AG is a minimum fine of $5K
21) Transferring firearm to an individual under 18 is a minimum fine of $75K and minimum sentence of 15 years.
This bill is designed to scare people out of gun ownership. The penalties are so steep, and the rules so strict that the chances of a law abiding citizen accidentally breaking the law is high, and it goes without saying that this bill is a clear violation of the Second Amendment.
I will absolutely, 100% oppose this bill with every fiber of my being. I will be tracking this legislation closely, and if it moves an inch in Congress, I will be the first to sound the alarm.
