[JMGlasgow]

I will not comply

Of course the despicable Hank Johnson would introduce this bill, and have all his traitorous political posse cosign it.

 

[Gunfighter14e2]

Laughing, they think passing another law is the cure. The amount of laws getting snubbed by the law makers and they believe we are going to lay down for more,...fuck them.

 

[Blue Sky Country]

I will not comply

Considering what this country had went through in the past 5 months and what the general prevailing attitude is towards gun ownership, that bill is boogaloo words to most people...

Couple that with the fact that the Democrats just committed biowarfare against our senior citizen population with casualties in excess of 50,000... Yep, pass this shit and we will see it as a declaration of war...

 

[TheGerman]

I think we're slowly nearing a point where both the left/right leaning citizens slowly agree on the right and need to have firearms.

Gun control bullshit after what we've seen reality actually looks like is a non starter.

 

[nick338]

Pass laws that require police to enforce and then defund the police. Can't make this shit up.

 

[armorpl8chikn]

Pass laws that require police to enforce and then defund the police. Can't make this shit up.

Oh...they will have a police force to confiscate guns. Defunding the police is necessary for what they have in mind. Still too many freedom loving police out there for their end game. They need young mindless drones for the heavy lifting ahead.

 

[Maggot]

Lets get out there and vote and make sure at least the Senate stays conservative.

 

[JMGlasgow]

It doesn't matter. "Conservative" or liberal, they're all the same. Elitist scum that want to control, and turn us all into subjects and slaves.

 

[memyselfi]

How long can the house delay sending a bill to Senate ? Can they hold until after Election, hoping to control Senate, and Biden ?

EDIT ... I was seeing red on this and thought it had been voted on while half of Congress is hiding.

They are not defunding the police...

They want to get rid of the traditional American police force and replace it with their own paramilitary enforcement division, like what we saw at CHAZ and what Obama had hinted at when he mentioned a "civilian national security force"... Basically, an irregular force of masked terrorists completely loyal to them, in the style of many war torn Middle Eastern and African countries, who will kill, torture, kidnap, rape, brutalize, and commit genocide at their will. In order to have that, they will have to abolish the trappings of American society first, including it's traditional police...

 

[seanh]

I got told don't know how many times I was a conspiracy theorist when the govt was purchasing hundreds of millions rounds.

Get ready, its coming. All you guys that have carry license...your a threat to them.

The bill was referred to committee on 3/10/2020. Nothing has happened since then. Going nowhere, at least until Jan 2021.

 

[BytorJr]

Lets get out there and vote and make sure at least the Senate stays conservative.

That's going to be almost impossible. That means in the primary people would have ousted the likes of Coryn, Collins, Ernst, and others during the primary. Collins and Murkowsky are so left leaning they really are independents or even moderate democrats and certainly cannot be trusted to be a vote for liberty. I don't believe any of these lost their primary so with them in there again (should they win), we don't exactly have a conservative Senate - better than Democrat, but not by much.

 

[Amanda4461]

Folks that perform traitorous acts should maybe remember that anyone can be gotten to. Walls, protective details, armor plated vehicles, alarms. All just items to slow down a determined individual. Once they defund the police, who they gonna call to clean up the mess and investigate, Ghostbusters? The list of known traitors grows longer each day. I see no difference in any of them, regardless of their so-called political affiliation. Start at the top of the alphabet and work to Z once the SHTF. After a few prominent idiots find their heads MIA, a lot of stupid assholes will be quietly hiding under a rock. Too bad Trump can’t even get the DOJ to do their job. He is running out of time, even if the tit suckers don’t elect Demented Joe.

Or as they were called in 1930's Germany. Brown shirts. Well OK, maybe we just turn the brown into red mist?

 

[nick338]

The far left is digging deep for political gain so they can finally destroy the foundation that America was built on once and for all. It's happening every day right before our eyes.

Lose the Senate in November and we are finished.

 

[Strykervet]

I see this law as NO LAW.

Full auto and demo for all? Fuck it. If I'm gonna be a felon, I'm gonna be the best felon I can be.

This... I cannot unsee what has happened to our senior citizens this year... That basically invalidates anything that the Democrats try to do because they have committed crimes against humanity...

They have already declared war on us... We just don't want any Fort Sumters...

H.R 5717, has been in committee more than once. This is not its first showing. This bill has been up every year since President Trump took office.
