Democrat House Already Planning Gun Control Bills


Patrick Richardson

Emboldened by their newly-united government, Democrats, particularly Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Texas) have already introduced a raft of new gun control legislation — most of which does not even yet have text.

The almost spray-and-pray tactic is a wish-list of liberal infringements on the hated Second Amendment.

We have HR 127 “To provide for the licensing of firearm and ammunition possession and the registration of firearms, and to prohibit the possession of certain ammunition.”

What that “certain ammunition” is, is unclear, but in the past the gun grabbers have railed against “armor piercing” ammunition (commonly purchased 5.56 mm NATO green tips, for instance) among others.

...Note, well, Jackson-Lee not only wants you to have to register your firearms — not that they’d ever come confiscate them … comrade — but they want you to have to buy a federal license to buy or possess firearms or ammunition. 

...Next we have H.R.130 – “To require the safe storage of firearms and ammunition, and to require the investigation of reports of improper storage of firearms or ammunition.”

A few more from the hit parade:

H.R.167 — 117th Congress (2021-2022)

To prohibit the transfer of a firearm at a gun show by a person who is not a federally licensed firearms dealer.

Sponsor: Rep. Green, Al [D-TX-9] (Introduced 01/04/2021) Cosponsors: (0)

H.R.121 — 117th Congress (2021-2022)

To provide for the hiring of 200 additional Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents and investigators to enforce gun laws.

Sponsor: Rep. Jackson Lee, Sheila [D-TX-18] (Introduced 01/04/2021) Cosponsors: (0)

Committees: House – Judiciary

H.R.135 — 117th Congress (2021-2022)

To require the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to report to the Congress semiannually on the number of firearms transfers resulting from the failure to complete a background check within 3 business days, and the procedures followed after it is discovered that a firearm transfer has been made to a transferee who is ineligible to receive a firearm.

Sponsor: Rep. Jackson Lee, Sheila [D-TX-18] (Introduced 01/04/2021) Cosponsors: (0)
