Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee Pushes 7-Day Waiting Period for Semiautomatic Handguns, Rifles
Breitbart ^ | 02/16/2021 | Awr Hawkins

Posted on 02/16/2021 8:11:22 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) is pushing legislation that will require a seven-day waiting period for semiautomatic handgun and rifle sales.

The legislation, H.R. 125, is titled “Gun Safety: Not Sorry Act of 2021.” And it would also require a seven-day waiting period for suppressor sales, which already typically take nine to ten months to complete.

This makes no sense. Someone wants a gun they will find a way to find one.

Sure that the illegal gunmakers and traders are quaking in their boots over this one, eh?

The people willing to go through the waiting period probably ALREADY HAVE GUNS. Just adding to the collection.

Don’t be absurd. Sheila Jackson Lee is a CONGRESSWOMAN! There is no limit to her knowledge of things she has her staff write legislation about. She has held an AR-15, “It is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving.”

A woman with that kind of brain power always makes sense. /s

“7 days” is just such a random count.
Foisted up to make it seem more “common sense”?

Why not 70 days? or 700 days?

No matter how it’s worded, It’s just a gun-grabbers way to try and do something they don’t actually have the balls to attempt: Confiscation.

Your opinion may vary but mine is that she is the stupidest person in congress and it’s a close race between her and Hank (Guam is gonna sink) Johnson.

Does anyone have the new improved definition of “infringed”. I believe mine got lost in the mail.

And when she calls the police about someone on her property, they should respond with a seven day waiting period.

All private security firms should have a seven day waiting period before they can arrive at your palatial estate.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) is also pushing legislation that will require a seven-day waiting period for the purchase of crack, cognac, Champaign and malt liquor but the MSM will not publish that fact until it becomes law.

Zero day waiting period for violent criminals, who can get one in minutes, pay cash, and kill. But of course this provision of hers isn’t to stop violent criminals. It’s to stop non-violent honest citizens from defending themselves against the violent criminals, who are largely democrat voters.

Great point. Delay in voting by a mail-in ballot for an illegal non-citizen who just moved and filled out and sent the last person's ballot---you wouldn't want to restrict his rights, would you? Unconstitutional.

And you can bet someone will demand a photo ID before the gun purchase transaction is over. But to vote in person without any ID on the promise it will be looked into later on? "Go right ahead to station 2, sir."

Waiting period for guns----it's not like the right to bear arms is mentioned somewhere in the US constitution as protected. Oh, wait....

Ship Sheila Jackson Lee (what a racist name!) to Mars so she can look at the flag the astronauts left there.

I would like to introduce a bill changing Sheila Jackson Lee’s name to “Sheila Jefferson Davis Jackson Lee”. That way, she’s a Confederate monument and can be toppled from her pedestal and done away with.

They ignore history at their own peril.

I guess they never heard of the Black Market.

Or the Dark Web.
