Nobody but Sheila Jackson Lee - Planet Moon edition

If they pass any reparations bill for slavery, I am going to demand one next too. My people were enslaved by Africans for a lot longer than we enslaved them. The story is told in Exodus in the Bible and everyone knows it. And we have been discriminated against for a lot longer, even in the US. Or do I just sue the Egyptian Government for not giving us the reparations?

How does she get elected year after year?

I ask myself that same question everytime she's in the news... she's awful and her district has only gotten worse under her "leadership." But she has prospered... shocker.

[MaduroBU]

I'd love to see Dan Crenshaw introduce a bill which mirrors this one wherein the right to own a gun is replaced by the right to vote or serve on a jury. Democrats hold very different views on restrictions pertaining to rights that they support.

[powerboatr]

lots of lawsuits waiting for this legislation. interviewing spouses, and WHAT IS A BRAIN disease? i understand her alzhemier one, but there are hundreds of brain diseases that have zero effect on cognitive behavior or ability to know right from wrong
firearm insurance?? oh another obamacare forced insurance
if passed, does this mean the AG will start in Chicago
i see lots of folks in jail for 15 years
but she is a continued nut and Houston loves this NUT
creenshaw imo is not proactive

we all know it would take the AG a year to even begin to stand up a department even remotely related to the this new authority, not to mention ATF would take years to figure who has what or where they are.

but this kind of stuff, i see them squeezing into a covid bill

[flechero]

but this kind of stuff, i see them squeezing into a covid bill

I see this as an easy out... dems didn't pass the last covid bill for not enough pork... so it would be easy to resist on the basis of what's related and right.

[Syntyr]

How does she get elected year after year?

I ask myself that same question everytime she's in the news... she's awful and her district has only gotten worse under her "leadership." But she has prospered... shocker.

Her district is drawn to include mostly people who believe government is about what they can give them. And she runs unopposed.

[powerboatr]

i was up alot last night running scenarios for this gem of legislation that is in COMMITTEE.
there is almost no way a person of normal means would ever be able to achieve all the requirements of this law. By normal means i am not trying to be smart or asssssinine, I mean a family lets say of two kids, jobs etc less than 200k a yr.

the mental exams will never be paid for from insurance, and you need at least 3 (one for you, your spouse and at least one other person that knows you), that alone would be over 1k, and its non refundable, we dont know how much the filing for license is going to cost, but i bet over 100 dollars, and remember the way its written you have to do the whole process for ammunition as well, and it looks like they cannot be combined into one mental session, or one license. it will take a psych several visits to decide if your mentally stable.
then do it all over every 5 years. what level of appeal does one have? if AG thinks you dont need one or a crackpot shrink like many liberals ones are would side agaisnt you for anything she or he felt was contrary to good order.
I have been through enough psych evals to know what not to say and how not to act to stay in favor of the ones that control your fate in your job. i also know how to make a mental examiner feel nervous right quick.
will this law scrub through your twitter or facebook? how far back? and what about reloading? will they search your medical records? think about your past 20 years, could something be there that is of concern to a paid government shrink with an agenda?
i am pleased at how indepth our checks are for our license to carry, but they dont go back more than 5 or 6 years do they?
or what about meds you may been prescribed years back, many are used to help sleep but could also be used for those folks who are one stick short of being full NUTS
how about recovering drug addicts or alcoholics
i bet we have many in our midst
if it passes, i bet there would be over 250k instant criminals , where would we all be housed?

and lets not forget, you have to register your firearms at the beginning of the process, so once they are through and decide NO. now they know exactly where to collect

Remember when gun control was to keep former slaves from defending themselves.

[flechero]

Well, we better start with private security of our elected officials, law enforcement of all types and our soldiers... they have access to more and better guns than us mere civilians. Once you bankrupt them, and slow the medical and licensing communities to a crawl- you'll see that it's not going to work for the citizenry at large.
