the good news is that as soon as they make felons of law abiding citizens, those new felons will now be protected by the left who love felons- just switch parties now, and you’ll be a fully protected liberal felon who can go out and get any gun you want, regardless of mag size, and you can commit any crimes you want and you will get let free if ever some silly cop ever arrests you-

Enjoy your new life of legally protected crime-

Still reading the part about mental health and healthcare in the schools. I’m guessing somewhere in the mess of words means all kids get free access to sex-changing hormones.

From what I’ve read about it both from the text and articles, it seems like a huge portion of this is just a giant multi billion dollar slush fund. I’m willing to bet only a very small percentage of that actually goes from what they say it will.

14 Republicans join the Democrats on anything and everything.

Like $56 Billion to Ukraine, and that goes up every week.

That’s how we got Garland, and this Inflation.

It will be interesting to see if this reaches the Supreme Court.

On COVID shot mandates I saw three firm NO votes Alito, Gorsuch and Thomas.

SEC. 301. REQUIREMENT THAT ALL FIREARMS BE TRACEABLE.
(a) Definitions.—Section 921(a) of title 18, United States Code, as amended by this Act, is further amended—

(1) in paragraph (10), by adding at the end the following: “The term ‘manufacturing firearms’ shall include assembling a functional firearm or molding, machining, or 3D printing a frame or receiver.

>>>This addresses at minimum all of the 80% Lowers in this country, right?

“(dd) (1) It shall be unlawful for any person to possess ammunition that is 0.50 caliber or greater.

Worse - it means swapping uppers is manufacturing a firearm. Or at least that’s how it will be interpreted and enforced.

Possibly breaking down a rifle for cleaning, if you separate the upper and lower, then reassembling it after cleaning, could be considered ‘manufacturing.’

In before the.. I had to vote for the PA, SC, AK Rino.. the dem is worse. Vote principle and not party. There is no compromise after covid. The masking, travel restrictions and freedom lost were under trump… that should have told you something.
However the cultists would hand over their last round to trump and call it 4d chess.
