The "Anti-Self Defense League"

Gun owners should not be paranoid unless the Government is after them.  And the Government, it appears, is really, really after them...

Some might be surprised that there is a major chunk of our population that just cannot physically stand the fact that our citizens should be permitted to buy and own and use a firearm.  I mean, they just abhor the fact that some of us wish to trundle on down to the local gun store, which they want eliminated, and whip out the old plastic, and buy themselves a gun.  And some ammo.  They actually buy ammo, too!  And they use it!  Shooting all hither and yon, with no concern at all for those whose feelings they're hurting, or for those in other states that might be shot as a result. 

Well, I'm here to tell you that they are pissed, and the political party to which they belong has just won a majority in both Houses, and also the Presidency.  And so, they've set about crafting a new and all-encompassing piece of legislation to try and keep Mr. Redneck from exercising his Constitutional Rights.  Which brings us up to today...

Their "Anti-Self Defense League" has been formed and is looking for new members.  Representative Sheila Jackson-Lee, the little Black lady from Houston with the very, very big mouth, has just dropped a piece of legislation we firearm owners have been nervously awaiting since O'Biden became Resident.  It's entitled, "The Sabrica Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Regulatory Act."  Who is Sabrica Sheikh, you might ask?  So did I.  She apparently was a Palestinian exchange student who was accidentally shot and killed by errant gunfire in Santa Fe a couple of years back.  It seems Mzzzz. J-L couldn't be bothered to name her gun control act after an American.  After all, about a forty or fifty are shot every weekend in Chicago, and at least 7 or 8 die.  That's how bad it's gotten...

Anyway, Mzzzzzz. Jack-Lee, presumably with the help and assistance of every gun hater in D.C., purports to solve Every. Single. Gun. Problem. In. America.  And the Act names them all, one-by-one.  And I shall summarize their little wet dream for you here:

     -  First, according to Mzzz. J-Lee, we may no longer possess any gun which is not registered with the Federal Gummint.  And since no guns are currently registered with the Federal Gummint, because the Founding Fathers wanted it that way, Mzzzzzzz. J-Klee would order the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to come up with a registration program, and give it only 3 months to do so.  And we, the American People, would be given that same 3 months in which to register all our firearms.  

Wha...?

Annnnd, this new registration of all gun owners, which is unconstitutional, BTW, would be "...made available to all members of the public and all branches of the military."  Why it should be your neighbor's bizz whether or not you own a gun, Mzzzzzzzzz. Ja-Cklee chooses not to tell us.  And why the military should be permitted to also know, given the hard-and-fast limitations of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 (look it up!), is not revealed to us plebes.  It should be.  Now.

     -  Next, we'd be given an as-yet unidentified period of time to turn over to the State, via an enforced buy-back program, all then unregistered guns.  How the Gummint could arrange to "buy back" something it never owned in the first place is some of the legerdemain the Democrats are using to push this piece of horses*it through Congress.  I simply cannot wait to hear them explain this one.

     -  Now then, we'd have to turn over all our ammunition magazines to the State which hold more than 10 rounds.  It should be known there are millions and millions and millions of magazines in peoples' hands which hold more than 10 rounds.  And very few which don't.  Perhaps as many as One Billion Magazines.  How they'd be "turned over" is yet to be announced.

     -  Not to leave shotgun fans out of the mix, Mzzzzzzz. Jackle-L wants you to know that all gauges above .410 will now be illegal, and you'll have to sell the Gummint your 12 and 16 and 20 gauge shotguns you used to use to hunt ducks and quail and pheasant and geese with.  Why?  Because they can.

     -  You may no longer possess a .50 caliber weapon, or the ammunition it fires.  Now then, .50 caliber weapons are currently legal in most of our Red states, and Mzzzzzzzzz. Ja-kleee is pissed about that.  They can't be allowed to have any fun, anymore, at all.

     -  Mzzzzz. J-L goes on to mention that it would be made a felony for anyone under the age of 21 to own or use or touch a firearm.  Presumably even to say the word "firearm."  No exceptions.  And if a person currently legally owns a firearm, and is under the age of 21, he/she/it must turn in that weapon within 3 months.  And what if the under-21 person is both in the military and owns a firearm?  Too bad.  Felony.  Turn it over.

     -  This piece of legislation goes on to punish members of the military who might contract PTSD, as it specifically outlaws the ownership of firearms by anyone with a brain disease, like cancer, or epilepsy, or Parkinson's Disease, or is medicated for such maladies, such as the examples it states.  Again, unconstitutional, but why should that stop them?

     -  Want to buy a firearm?  Be prepared to pay an annual fee of $800 for liability insurance in case you or your firearm might cause damage.  Yeah, unconstitutional.  You think this might be unfair to poorer citizens who wish to exercise their Constitutional Rights?  Too damn bad.    

     -  One of my personal favorites, Mzzzzzzzzzzzz. Jackson-Lee makes it mandatory for all persons desirous of purchasing a firearm to be given a psychological evaluation, interviewed and approved by the FBI.  Plus, their wife/husband/significant other must also undergo such an evaluation, as must at least two other members of their family.  And, if the prospective gun owner was divorced, all ex-spouses must be interviewed, as well as all current and previous employers.  Unconstitutional, again.  But creative, yes?

You think they might be trying to make it tough to buy a gun?

     -  And last but far, far from least, if you choose to ignore or violate this new Law, you'll receive a fine of NOT LESS than $50,000, and spend NOT LESS than 10 years in prison, and most likely BOTH.  

Lemme' see here.  You can burn down a courthouse and not be charged, with anything, but holding a gun while under 21 gets you ten (10) years in prison?  Who gave these people the keys?

POSTSCRIPT:  It should be noted that Mzzzzzzzz. Jack-Lee's piece of legislation has yet to garner any co-sponsors.  None at all.  Seems no other Democrat is quite as ignorant as this foul-tempered leach...
