Now under this bill if the 24 hours of live fire training is free... LOLDon’t forget about the 24 hours of live fire training.
Greg Pence - Mike's brother.Which Pence?
It's a "solution" waiting for an opportunity/crisisHorrible. And the fact it was proposed 2 weeks ago and doesn't have any other sponsors suggests there isn't much support for it (yet) in the House.
This is setting the outside margin of legislation. That won't get passed. The only issue is whether something "inside" of that margin gets traction.
Indeed, contact representatives and senators - even the Dem ones, if you happen to live in one of the few areas with a Dem representative.
That's the same one I got. I feel confident he'd vote against it.My response from Pence.......
Thank you for contacting my office regarding H.R. 127, the Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act. I appreciate you taking the time to share your views on this important matter, and I welcome the opportunity to respond.
Our founding fathers could not have been clearer: the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. As a firearm owner and lifetime member of the National Rifle Association, I am passionate about safeguarding the fundamental right of all Hoosiers to protect themselves and the people they love. The United States Constitution sets forth that gun ownership is not a special privilege reserved for a select few, but it is a protected freedom for all law-abiding citizens.
As you may know, the Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act would impose new regulations on the ownership of firearms and ammunition. Specifically, this bill would require gun owners to register their firearms in a national database, create a national firearms license, mandate caliber size, and outlaw large capacity magazines. The Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee, of which I am not a member. Should this bill come to the House floor for a vote, I will be sure to keep your thoughts in mind.
You can rest assured that I will never support legislation that infringes upon your right to keep and bear arms. In fact, last Congress I voted against two extreme bills, H.R. 8 and H.R. 1112, that would diminish our Second Amendment rights while doing nothing to keep our country safe. For example, H.R. 8—legislation to require a background check for every firearm sale—might sound like common sense, but current law already requires a background check on every commercial gun purchase in America.
As your representative in Congress, I will always vote to protect our Second Amendment Rights. It is an honor to represent Hoosiers of Indiana’s 6th District. You can visit my website at www.pence.house.gov to learn more about how I am representing you in Congress.
How do we remove the firearms from the hands of the very few, (but loudly and often repeated, so they seem more numerous,) mass shooters?The points (plural) are many...
Top of the list is mass shootings.
Unless *YOU* have a definitive way to keep firearms out of mass shooter's hands, the rest of the population IS eventually going to ATTEMPT to do something about it.
Those attempts may be (and probably will be) misguided.
The absolute and utter refusal of so called "Law & Order" types to not only follow the law,
BUT THE INTENT OF THE LAW,
is what will eventually bring more controls & restrictions down...
...
The prospective gun owner of course....So who exactly pays for this over-reaching 'psychological evaluation'?
