House Democrats Outline Gun Control Agenda for 116th Congress

Opinion

Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- With anti-gun Democrats back in control of the House of Representatives come January, now is the time to prepare for a new onslaught on the Second Amendment. Emboldened by the mere thought of controlling the lower chamber, we are already seeing the warning signs of what will come for the next two years.

First, virtually all Democrat leadership positions are likely to be filled by long-time anti-gun zealots, such as former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Similarly, key committees will surely be chaired by extremists with long histories of supporting any and all legislation designed to diminish the rights of law-abiding gun owners.

In other words, if you can imagine a new, draconian restriction on guns, gun owners, firearm parts and accessories, or ammunition, expect it to not only be introduced, but to be given a hearing. Also expect the anti-gun legacy media to openly fawn over these efforts. The same goes for any old proposals that have already been introduced and rejected, or even implemented and later repealed or abandoned after proving to be ineffective.

At the top of the list, of course, will be banning semi-automatic firearms. Extremists will try to ban America’s most popular rifle, the AR15, as well as any other semi-automatic rifle. The standard magazines that come with these rifles, as well as any that are sold separately that are deemed “too big,” will also be the target of bans. Most semi-automatic handguns and shotguns will also be swept into these bans.

“Universal” background checks are also a priority for anti-gun Democrats. In fact, Nancy Pelosi even promised to support criminalizing the private transfer of firearms if Democrats were given control of the House. Pelosi and her ilk will try to exploit all of the recent tragic shootings that have taken place in order to promote “universal” background check while ignoring the fact that none of them would have been impacted by such a scheme. The firearms in all of these horrific crimes were acquired through either the federally-mandated background check, or even more restrictive state systems.

There are many reasons to not trust Pelosi, but when it comes to her pledge to attack law-abiding gun owners, you can take that to the bank.

Democrats who have been chomping at the bit for years to push their anti-gun agenda in the House have made it very clear your rights are fair game, and they have said they will not waste any time once they seize the reins of control.

Along with semi-auto bans and “universal” background checks, expect to see attempts to tax firearms and ammunition out of the grasp of the average American. Through incompetence or malice, these legislative proposals will be so poorly drafted that it will be impossible for law-abiding gun owners to even attempt to comply with their byzantine provisions.

As an example, one need only look to the most recent gun control bill introduced in Congress. H.R. 7115, the so-called “3–D Firearms Prohibitions Act.” Attentive readers will probably notice that the bad drafting started with the title: we live in a three-dimensional world; so all firearms are necessarily “3-D.” Despite the title, the bill doesn’t seem to ban all firearms, however, it’s provisions are so poorly drafted and show such a incredible lack of understanding of firearms that it likely does ban nearly any part intended for use in a modern semi-automatic firearm. Even simple pins and springs seem to fall within the provisions of the bill.

While 7115 is unlikely to move in the current Congress, it will likely be on the agenda next year. But that’s just the start.

Ultimately, the Second Amendment will likely be under a more severe attack over the next two years than perhaps it has ever seen. With some sources showing that as many as one in five likely voters in Democrat primaries would like to see the Second Amendment repealed, it’s likely that some members of Congress will attempt to oblige.

      The OATH OF OFFICE, PRECLUDES THESE CRIMINALS FOR THE ACTIONS THEY ARE PLANNING TO ATTEMPT!
      “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter:

      Notice that the oath says they will support and defend the constitution,. they also acknowledge that they take this obligation FREELY, WITHOUT ANY MENTAL RESERVATION OR PURPOSE OF EVASION, AND THEY WILL FAITHFULLY DISCHARGE THEIR DUTIES OF OFFICE..

      How can they NOT be PROSECUTED for PERJURY OF OATH, WHEN THEY PLAINLY ARE PLANNING TO MAKE WAR ON THE VERY DOCUMENT THEY SWORE TO BE BOUND BY AND DEFEND??? FYI; PERJURY OF OATH IS A FELONY UNDER 18 USC 1001 And the penalty is a $10k fine AND up to 5 yrs in prison!
      ARREST THEM, PUT THEM ON TRIAL, AND IMPRISON THEM ALREADY FOR THE HIGH CRIME OF PERJURY OF OATH!

      LOL. remember what happened to the Democrats the last time they passed a firearms ban. I can guarantee you that many of the democrat US house members remember and won’t vote with ole Nancy for fear of what will happen to them in the 2020 election. If it does pass the US House then it hast to pass the US Senate which is not likely due to the a fore mentioned. Say it does pass the House and the Senate then it will meet strong opposition in Donald Trumps Supreme Court for constitutionality issues. Gun owners transpire both sides of the isle and they are a contentious group when it comes to their constitutional 2nd amendment rights being abridged. I don’t think the democrats realize how many gun owners there are.

    • Man

      So you are against background checks?

      Why not give guns to criminals just like that then?

    • Justin Case

      Democrats are evil simpleminded people. They crave power over you so they can dictate your entire life. They will NEVER succeed in removing the 2nd amendment. And gun owners aren’t going to give up their guns willingly. I know I won’t. So whatever they do. I for one will not surrender my guns. EVER. So when you come to get them. Be sure to bring your own guns. You will need them…
