ACTION ALERT: H.R.5717 - Gun Violence Prevention and Community Safety Act of 2020

[iratollah]

While everyone is distracted with Global Pandemic, Congress has quietly introduced legislation that will essentially gut the Second Amendment.
H.R.5717 - Gun Violence Prevention and Community Safety Act of 2020 is a 260 page document that will make firearm ownership very difficult. It will require federal license to buy firearms or ammo. It will end private ownership of semi-automatic firearms, impact manufacturers, implement buybacks (confiscation), red flag laws, and much more.

After you read the Table of Contents below, you will understand the importance of immediately contacting your congressional representative and registering your dissent.

Will the knowledge that constituents, in the face of impending first responder overload suddenly exercising their right to own guns, force politicians to realize the failure of their 'common sense gun laws'? If you reach out, be sure to emphasize that if the representative wants to get re-elected that they better listen to the voice of the people and kill this bill.

For time being, they can eat it. However, election date is first week November. So, be prepared to get everyone you know to vote.

I contacted Michael McCaul, Ted Cruz, and John Cornyn. In November, I will again be encouraging all of the sane adults in my extended family to vote.

This has everything! This is a mad mommy dream bill.

You got that right! And if you notice, near the end, a 30% sales tax on the firearm and a 50% sales tax on ammo. And what looks like an incentivized red flag clause.
