Democratic bill would create public registry of gun owners, their guns, and where they keep them

[Blaxe] A Democratic bill introduced in the House of Representatives this year aims to create a mandatory and publicly accessible registry listing the names of gun owners, how many guns they have, and even where they keep their firearms.

Additionally, the bill, H.R. 127, would ban several types of commonly used ammunition .50 caliber or greater, require gun owners to purchase firearm insurance costing $800 per year, and force those seeking to buy a gun to complete a psychological evaluation and a government training course prior to the purchase.

Should gun owners fail to adhere to the new restrictions, they could face an harsh penalty of 10 years in prison and fines of $50,000 to $150,000.

Sponsored by Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (Texas), the bill is one of the most aggressive attempts yet by progressive lawmakers to curb Americans' Second Amendment rights and is already drawing intense scrutiny from gun rights groups.

"All gun control bills share the same basic goal: a world in which fewer people own firearms," the National Rifle Association wrote about the legislation. "Some bills simply ban certain types of firearms or ammunition outright. Others place obstacles in the path of owning firearms or ammunition to make them more difficult and expensive to obtain, thereby shrinking the market for them ... H.R. 127 combines both failed approaches."

"It bans common types of ammunition and original equipment magazines for most self-defense firearms. And, it makes all firearms more difficult to obtain and possess through a punitive licensing and registration scheme," the group continued.

#5 The beginning of a classic uniparty ploy, propose something frighteningly radical, let it stew and simmer, the. Some softie with “bipartisan “ cover has a compromise that only drifts a partway down the path and gets tagged as a commonsense solution. This is the opening gambit. It needs a sorched earth reply.

#6 Lee is an example of everything that is wrong with Congress and the Democrat party. She is a fucking moron.

#7 Luckily, since criminals always follow the law, they will realize the error of their ways and register their guns immediately.

#8 Many in Congress appear to need a psychological evaluation to prevent them from doing harm to the rest of us.
