Well gents, the poop has started. Sheila Jackson Lee, a "congresswoman" from Houston, has submitted a bill (along with others) that would create a national gun registration/licensing requirement (which includes a psychological evaluation), along with banning possession of certain calibers of ammunition. We can only hope her gun grabbing attempts fail miserably. It's a little long, but I have posted the verbiage below directly from her website. This is total debauchery and needs to stop. If you have time, send this "public servant" a message with what you think of her bill (

“The second bill introduced in this trio of gun safety bills is H.R. ____, the Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act. This bill creates a process for the license and registration of firearms and the possession of certain ammunition. For the registry, each person will have to transmit the make, model, and serial number of the firearm, along with the identity of the owner, the date the firearm was acquired, and where the firearm will be stored. They must also include a notice of any person that may be loaned the firearm. This must be done within 3 months after the effective date for previously acquired firearms, and on the same day for any firearms acquired after the enactment of the bill. The bill also establishes a database of all registered firearms that is accessible to the public and all branches of government. The bill creates licensing requirements that includes a minimum age of 21, a criminal background check, a psychological evaluation, a certified training course, and an insurance policy. For an antique firearm display license or a military-style weapons license, there will be additional requirements for certification established by the Attorney General. This bill permits the Attorney General to be able to deny a license if the individual is prohibited by Federal law from possessing a firearm and if the individual has been hospitalized with mental illnesses (this includes diagnosis of depression, homicidal ideation, suicidal ideation, attempted suicide, and addiction) or on account of conduct that endangers self or others. For the transfer of firearms, this bill makes it unlawful for a person to transfer to a person who is not licensed or without the notification of the sale, loan, or gift to the Attorney General. Additionally, the bill makes it unlawful for possession of ammunition of 0.50 caliber or greater, as well as a large capacity ammunition feeding device. However, this does not apply to the United States or a State department, agency, or a political subdivision of a State, or a law enforcement officer. This also doesn’t apply to a licensee under title 1 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, a licensed manufacturer or importer, or an organization that provides training or is registered.
