There is news besides the Wuhan Chinese Communist Coronavirus from China. While we are distracted, the House of Representatives is trying to pass H.R. 5717 which will add a 30% tax on all guns and a 50% tax on all ammo. The bill will require a federal license to purchase both.
It requires a federal license to own, handle or shoot any guns you already own. The ATF and courts can deny your right to own a gun.
They are trying to push this through immediately. This won’t pass the Senate now but there is no doubt this will pass should the socialist Democrats, the new out in the open socialist Democrat party, assume power.
There is more, read the bill. They will put you in jail for two years if you violate any part of this law.
It’s in the first stage and was sponsored by Hank Johnson Jr. It won’t be a surprise if it passes the House. The Democrats have passed a slew of bills just like this in the House and they sit in the Senate, ready to go.
When these leftists are in office, they will take your liberties.

That sucks…likely would lead to my firearms being stolen…geez.
There is more to the virus than meets the eye….and yes they want your guns – think Adolf, Josef, Mao and Pol…what do these gentlemen have in common??? They were able to exterminate millions of their UNARMED countrymen…
Dems are playing political games and holding Americans hostage.
I read that in VA, attending church is now a crime; punishable by up to 12 months in jail, a $2,500 fine, or both.
Are these fools really that eager to poke a sleeping bear? If this does pass both the house and senate, it does have to be signed by the President, or be passed over his veto.
It would be simpler for them to commit seppuku on the steps of the capitol building than to return to face their constituents.
This goes directly back to Benjamin Franklin’s thoughts. To paraphrase: “Those who would sacrifice liberty for safety neither have nor deserve either.”
You know, the older I get and just like my father, the smarter Benjamin Franklin gets. And I say the same about President John Adams.
I want to add. Not only are Democrats trying to take away our 2nd Amendment rights but they have also taken our 1st Amendment rights. People are arrested for congregating: Church services and even prayer meetings in private homes are broken up by the government. These are your RIGHTS as specifically stated in OUR Constitution taken away by government goons.
The Dems are sh**ing their pants because gun and ammo sales are going through the roof just like toiletpaper and water and they see this as an opportunity for revenue also
