The latest gun-grabber bill “H.R. 8 — 116th Congress: Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019” has passed the U.S. House.
It mandates background checks for every firearm sale. Exemptions are only for limited family members and for hunting and gun ranges with the owner present.
Nearly all private transfers will be illegal if this passes the Senate and is signed by the president. A rancher cannot loan a .22 to a ranch hand to shoot varmints. One cannot loan a handgun to a girlfriend because her ex said he would kill her.
The bill was cosponsored by Florida’s Congressmen Mast (R-FL-18), Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL-23), Christ (D-FL-13), Soto (D-FL-9), Shalala (D-FL-27), Frankel (D-FL-21), Hastings (D-FL-20), Mucarsel-Powell (D-FL-26), Deutch (D-FL-22), Murphy (D-FL-7), Lawson (D-FL-5), Wilson (D-FL-24), Castor (D-FL-14), Demings (D-FL-10).
Teammates include tyranny-dreamers Ocasio-Cortez and Illhan Omar.
H.R. 8 is unconstitutional. First, there is no delegated authority in Article I to restrict firearms. Secondly, the Second Amendment specifically bans it. Twice the founders made it unlawful.
Perhaps these so-called “Representatives” do not understand what "shall not” and “infringed" mean. Or they don’t care about the Constitution.
"Shall not" is defined as not being authorized to do something. "Infringed" is defined as actively breaking the terms of a law or agreement. The something is the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Both the law and the agreement are the U.S. Constitution. H.R. 8 is unlawful.
Preventing law abiding citizens from transferring guns is worse than useless at reducing crime.
