Members of Congress are seeking to pass H.R. 127, an extreme and unconstitutional gun control bill that would effectively nullify the Second Amendment.
Here are the highlights of H.R. 127’s provisions:
- It creates a national firearm registry that anyone – including every level of law enforcement and the military – can access.
- The registry would require one to tell the government exactly where one’s firearms are stored.
- One would need a license simply to own a firearm.
- Mandatory “psychological evaluations” are required receive this license.
- One would need to pay $800 for “firearm insurance.”
- It would enact extreme ammunition restrictions, including a ban on magazines more than 10 rounds.
- Violating the above provisions could lead to a prison sentence of up to 40 years and a fine of up to $150,000.

H.R. 127, titled the “Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act,” was introduced by Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) at the beginning of the 117th Congress. It would enact a number of extreme gun control measures.
Among the bill’s other provisions, it would create a national firearm registration system that every gun owner would need to submit to. Although maintained by the U.S. Attorney General, it would be “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 government.” Not only this, but among other information that gun owners would need to provide, they would need to inform the government where, exactly, they store their firearms and the identity of any person they loan it to. Such a registry would enable the government to easily confiscate people’s weapons at a future date, similar to what actually happened in other countries like Australia. Although a national gun registry is a blatantly unconstitutional proposal that would also violate the privacy of millions of Americans, it is far from the only extreme provision of H.R. 127. For example, the bill would create a nationwide gun license that every American would be forced to have simply to own a firearm – such a license is a direct violation of the core constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Among other burdensome requirements to receive such a license, one would need to undergo a “psychological evaluation,” take a training course, and have “firearm insurance” that would cost $800 to obtain – a requirement that discriminates against the poor. |
Additionally, the U.S. Attorney General would have relatively broad authority to deny, suspend, or revoke licenses. Not only this, but after only three years, one would have to renew their license – subject to taking another training course.
If passed, H.R. 127 would make it illegal to own magazines with more than 10 rounds, along with ammunition at or over 0.50 caliber. Since the bill does not contain a grandfather clause, the government could confiscate firearms banned by the bill. Last, but not least, the penalties for violating any of H.R. 127’s provisions range up to a 40-year prison sentence and/or a $150,000 fine. H.R. 127 represents an assault on the Second Amendment of the Constitution, and if passed, it would directly infringe upon it in multiple ways. Additionally, its provisions – particularly its national gun registry – would enable the federal government to more easily implement further gun control measures, including confiscations. The ability of a person to defend him- or herself is a fundamental God-given right. Stripping individuals of this right would make them utterly dependent upon the government for their very lives and allow it to strip them of other rights without fear of reprisal. It is imperative that we protect the Second Amendment. Thus, urge your U.S. representatives and senators to oppose H.R. 127 and any other legislation that infringes upon the right to self-defense. |

Tricked Into Gun Control - Robert Brown (duration 00-02-45)

When a COS supporter asked on Facebook why couldn't the Second Amendment be updated at a COS Article V convention, Convention of States Project answered back that "Clarification Clauses" such as the supporter was referring to are "very much on the agenda" of many COS study groups around the country. So much for the COS assurance that a COS-type Article V convention wouldn't threaten the Second Amendment!

Defending and Preserving the Second Amendment - TheJohnBirchSociety
Over the last decade, states have leapt forward in restoring the Second Amendment. Not content to let a crisis go to waste, big government politicians now openly discuss gun registration, banning and confiscation. Drawing on his front line experience, Mr. Pratt offers the plan to defend and preserve this critical portion of liberty. Speech given May 4, 2013 |
|
Update- 1/29/2020:
During his speech last night at the Trump/Van Drew rally in Wildwood, NJ, President Trump said that Jeff Van Drew was a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. Huh? Congressman Van Drew voted for 5 out of 7 gun control bills in New Jersey! Was his NRA rating calculated before or after his votes? Or, was his rating based solely on his response to the NRA's questionnaire (see below)? |

Beware of relying too heavily on ratings of politicians by the National Rifle Association
Politicians can claim anything when filling out a questionnaire.
Excerpt from everytown.org:
According to the NRA, The grade of “AQ” is an NRA A-grade based solely on a candidate’s response
to the NRA’s candidate questionnaire, in the absence of gun-related votes.
A grade of “?” indicates that a candidate did not fill out the NRA’s candidate questionnaire.

Everytown.org is for gun control. However, I have heard Constitutional Republican candidates complain about this, as well.
