U.S. Congress now considering new bill to infringe Americans’ Second Amendment rights and ban wide range of guns nationwide


The one constant in the life of an authoritarian is the desire to stifle opposition and render it either ineffective or unprotected. That’s why the political Left is enamored with taking away Americans’ Second Amendment rights; firearms in the hands of the people, as the founders envisioned, is the last bulwark keeping would-be tyrants at bay.

As noted by SHTFPlan, in the wake of a series of mass shootings – that have occurred with increasing frequency on Barack Obama’s watch, by the way – some of the most authoritarian Left-wing states began adopting draconian new gun control measures that make little sense, won’t affect the criminally minded, and will only make law-abiding Americans more vulnerable – to say nothing of what those laws do to the Second Amendment.

In New York State, for instance, majority Democrats have managed to ban some models of semi-automatic rifles, because they look scary and resemble military style weapons. The state also limited the number of bullets that could be loaded into magazines to seven, though that provision has been struck down by a federal appeals court.

Banning nearly all popular guns is the goal

In California, which also has similar gun bans, a new law took effect Jan. 1, that gives a judge authority to confiscate the guns of any person deemed potentially dangerous by family members (no way that law could be abused), in direct violation of the Second Amendment and the U.S. Constitution’s “due process” requirement.

Now, federal authoritarians are attempting to get into the act. Around Christmas, a number of them introduced legislation to universalize a “scary guns” ban across the country. In specific, H.R. 4269 would redefine the Second Amendment as stated by the bill’s description, which also makes clear its ultimate intent:

To regulate assault weapons, to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited, and for other purposes.

In short, the legislation targets directly every semi-automatic firearm in the U.S., to include rifles, shotguns and even handguns. And it specifically lists the scariest of the scary guns – AK-47-style rifles, AR-15s, and so forth.

In addition, the legislation would apply a 10-round magazine limit to the entire country, making it a violation of federal law to even own a magazine that holds more rounds.

As SHTFPlan reported further:

And here’s the kicker, even if your weapon has a legally-defined low capacity detachable magazine but is modified with any of the following accessories, it is considered an “assault rifle” and would be outright banned in the United States.

Semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any 1 of the following:

“(i) A pistol grip.

“(ii) A forward grip.

“(iii) A folding, telescoping, or detachable stock.

“(v) A barrel shroud.

“(vi) A threaded barrel.

“(B) A semiautomatic rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds, except for an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.

“(C) Any part, combination of parts, component, device, attachment, or accessory that is designed or functions to accelerate the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle but not convert the semiautomatic rifle into a machinegun.

The tyranny is thick

Just so you know and are clear: This bill is a naked attempt to ban virtually all weapons currently owned by the vast majority of gun owners in the nation. What would be spared? Pump and double-barreled shotguns, lever- and bolt action rifles, and revolvers – that’s about it. Most everything else is semi-automatic and comes with higher-capacity magazines.

What’s more, the legislation currently has more than 120 co-sponsors, and of course, all of them are reincarnations of Josef Stalin (otherwise known as Democrats).

“The reality is that a cloud of tyranny has descended upon America. For it to be successful the American people must first be disarmed,” says SHTFPlan.

With most Republicans still supporting the Second Amendment to its fullest and still in control of Congress, the legislation doesn’t have much chance of passage. But you can bet that if Democrats win a majority this year, they will push their anti-gun agenda on the country.
