People in the often overlapping “prepper” and 2nd Amendment communities have been warning of and waiting for the Big One, when the government starts to wholesale ban common firearms and go after existing owners and then we start to gear up and go kinetic.
Like a dog chasing a car that suddenly stops, we are about to find out what happens when what we have been calling for actually comes true and based on what I am seeing, we aren’t going to have to wait long.
Missed in the kerfuffle of the Capitol Hill “riots”, and maybe that isn’t coincidental, there are already a slew of new gun regulations in the pipeline, laws that suddenly have a real chance of becoming law thanks to two new Democrat Senators from Georgia.
While the proposed texts and summaries for these legislative measures are not yet available to the public, the titles seem largely self-explanatory and likely mimic bills previously submitted by the same lawmakers in past sessions.
The proposals:
H.R.30 – To increase public safety by punishing and deterring firearms trafficking.
H.R.121 – To provide for the hiring of 200 additional Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents and investigators to enforce gun laws.
H.R.125 – To amend Title 18, United States Code, to provide for a 7-day waiting period before a semiautomatic firearm, a silencer, armor piercing ammunition, or a large capacity ammunition magazine may be transferred.
H.R.127 – To provide for the licensing of firearm and ammunition possession and the registration of firearms, and to prohibit the possession of certain ammunition.
H.R.130 – To require the safe storage of firearms and ammunition, and to require the investigation of reports of improper storage of firearms or ammunition.
H.R.167 – To prohibit the transfer of a firearm at a gun show by a person who is not a federally licensed firearms dealer.
Meanwhile, additional and more sweeping bills are likely inbound.
The last sentence is key. These are just opening gambits, the real fun is going to happen once the inevitable false flag mass shooting happens in the next 60 days. Suffice it to say that the Left is about to go even crazier but now with the full might of the Federal government openly behind them.
The wheels are spinning in the Senate as well. “Pro-gun” West Virginia Senator Joe Machin, who famously shot a hole in the cap and trade bill in a campaign ad, is already hedging his support:
Here is the key exchange with CNN’s Jake Tapper:
“What about a ban on some forms of semiautomatic weapons?” Tapper asked.
“Oh, Jake. There has to be responsibility in gun ownership, I’m not going to eliminate people having their guns,” Manchin replied, adding that he didn’t think the American people should be “scared to death of Democrats on their Second Amendment taking their guns away.”
“I went to the shooting range yesterday so I can practice in again, just to get back in shape,” Manchin continued, adding, “We’re not going to take guns away, but there should be things people should not have in their hands.”
Oh Jake, he laughed while batting his eyes winsomely. Read that again…
“We’re not going to take guns away, but there should be things people should not have in their hands.”
We’re not going to take guns away but we are absolutely going to take guns away.
Manchin isn’t up for re-election until 2024 and you know he was put on notice that if he wanted to remain the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he had better get on board with gun control. Fun fact, in 2018 Manchin won re-election with 49.57% of the vote versus 46.26% for the Republican and 4.17% for libertarian Rusty Hollen, who managed to keep the Republican from winning. Another win for liberty by the Libertarian Party!
Manchin isn’t going to stop the push to ban semi-automatic firearms. Neither is the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile we are headed for Patriot Act 2.0 with the new bad guys being American citizens who speak out against government excesses….
Red flag laws, laws against “sedition”, labeling “racism” as a public health crisis, rigging the government payments to advantage Democrat constituencies (anyone but White people) and punish Republican voters (White people), the government using the corporate world to suppress free speech without running afoul of the 1st Amendment.
Again, I keep saying this: Biden isn’t even President yet.
When he is in office and signing bills with finger paints?
Get ready for what is coming. Be smart and don’t get yourself arrested before this thing even starts. Harden your heart. Make contacts and allies in the real world that you can rely on.
