That’s what I got out of it from the article yesterday - dollar amounts of funding towards things. I didn’t realize that that stuff can get added in with the law stuff.

And their are new laws and changes to existing laws in this bill (or at least the draft bill that I downloaded).

I forget the number, but they say the average person breaks a large number of laws every day. The wording in this bill will no doubt add many more of them.

When the State of Washington a few years ago passed their law about requiring a FFL form to buy or sell a weapon it was sold as a very “common-sense” gun law. It was as a ballot item and voted in by mob rule - otherwise known as democracy.

This “common-sense” gun law has 30 pages of text. It is not just about the sales of firearms between private citizens - it uses the term “transfer”. This new law actually outlaws a father handing down his rifle to his son without an FFL. It even outlaws the dad letting the adult son hold his rifle at the range, hunting, etc. The wife can use the husband’s gun if there is an “imminent threat”. However, the husband can’t leave his gun for her if he goes out of town for the weekend.

Anyway - as soon as I downloaded the pdf of the bill and saw 30 pages I knew it wouldn’t be good. I wonder how many people that voted for this bill looked at the law? 0.5%??? If that.

But yay! We are keeping guns out of the hands of bad guys because of this law.

(Not sure how to explain the huge increase in shooting incidences in the Seattle area though. Maybe the bad guys can’t read?)

Agreed,

And they are so discpnnected from America, they oignore the blood of innocent childrn and refuse to legislate armed security for the schools of vulerable children.

They are ghouls, unmoved by what they saw in Uvalde. They did NOTHING.

SHAME ON AMERICA.

“Republicans- snatching defeat from victory at every opportunity”

Yup, they are masters at it.

It will be sad to see on the Wednesday after the election in November that the Dems increase their seats in the House and Senate as millions of us 2A supporters just stay home and give the middle finger to the Repubs.

I bet the Dems will have a 60+ seat majority in the Senate and probably a 50+ seat majority in the House.

The stupidity of Republicans is off the charts.

Why are you posting from the House bill? That’s not from the Senate bill.

They are already saying this will save thousands of lives? It's like when government hands out taxpayers funds in the millions or billions to attract (pay off) a new business venture - they assure us that it will generate ten times that amount on secondary business gains, which never happens.

In my neck of the woods a candidate for county sheriff has already announced that, if elected, he won’t be enforcing any red flag laws.

I have a hunch that, in normal parts of the country, we’ll be seeing a lot of that.

They’re not stupid. They understand “shall not be infringed” perfectly well.

They just don’t care. They have power, and by the demons they serve they’re going to USE that power. They’re evil.

Sad - but expected. No wonder why so many people think these school shootings are done in the Oswald / Lone Nut with FBI and CIA contact style.

The Gun Bill all but guarantees a margin of victory so slim that ballot harvesting and ballot stuffing / mail in voting is now in play to push democrats over the top.

I expect a virus reemergence shortly before the mids.
