Shelia Jackson Lee's Gun Control Bill
Get ready, EVERY current gun owner will be a criminal
The Registry
First up in the act is the registry. The attorney general would establish a firearm registration system through the ATF that would collect information like the make, model, and serial number of every firearm in the nation, the name of the owner, the date the firearm was acquired, and where it will be stored. If a weapon is loaned to someone else, that must be reported as well. This would be an immediate action required for all new purchases, and anyone already owning a firearm would have three months to register everything they have.
The License
So, what would it take to get a license to own a firearm or ammunition? Applicants must be at least 21, pass a background check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check, pass a psychological evaluation, complete at least 24 hours of government-certified training in the use, safety, and safe storage of firearms, and pay for a special firearm insurance – which costs $800 per year.
A separate license must be obtained in addition to the basic license to own any “military-style” weapon. This ubiquitous term, of course, doesn’t mean weapons used by the actual military – there are already laws in place regulating most of those. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s list of qualified brand and model names is long, but it basically comes down to any A.R. or A.K. style rifle or pistol and more than a few semi-automatic shotguns.
The No-Nos
Banned outright are any “large capacity ammunition feeding devices,” which means anything capable of feeding more than ten rounds into the weapon except for tube-fed .22 rimfire rifles. Also prohibited would be any ammunition that is .50 caliber or greater. Without including any further definitions or exceptions, that’s a ban on any bullet half an inch in diameter or larger – including the 12-gauge slug.
The Penalties
Anyone caught with a gun or ammo but no license would face a fine between $75,000 and $150,000 and a prison sentence that could be as long as 25 years – but can’t be less than 15. Transferring anything requiring a license to someone who doesn’t have one comes with a penalty of between $50,000 and $75,000 fine and between ten and 15 years in prison. Loaning a firearm without telling the U.S. attorney general would come with a fine between $30,000 and $50,000 and prison term between five and ten years.
Letting anyone shoot a gun who isn’t at least 18 years old would incur a $75,000-$100,000 fine and 15-25 years in prison, unless a suicide, accident, murder, or general gun crime was then committed by the minor. The it would be $100,000 to $150,000 and 25-40 years.
The banned big bad bullets would buy you between ten and 20 years and a $50,000-$100,000 fine. Large capacity magazines come with 1-5 years and a $10,000-$25,000 fine. Finally, failing to maintain the $800 a year government-issued insurance would bring a fine no less than $50,000 and no more than $100,000 and a 10–20-year prison sentence.
For most gun owners this will be a bridge too far. Many (including this anon) will refuse to comply with any of these provisions. If they want war, this will certainly bring it.
