This bill keeps rearing its ugly head and it does need to be stopped once and for all, If you what to keep your rights under the Constitution that our forefathers gave us this bill must be stopped.

This bill gives a bureaucrat power that does belong to him or an elected official for that matter. The AG will have power to choose who can and cannot own a firearm with no appeal for the victim.

Veterans and past military will be the first to lose their firearms. Who will be next?

Check out the info below and call you elected officials.

1. Denies citizens the right to bear arms even if they haven’t been convicted of any crime(s).

2. Violates the Second Amendment. (The Second Amendment states that “the right of the people to keep and bear arms…shall not be infringed.”) This is infringement.

3. Violates the Sixth Amendment (“…The accused shall…be confronted with the witnesses against him.”)

4. Is wide open for abuse of power. There is a built-in catch-all for FID and FFL seizures and denials – “in the interest of national security.”

5. Violates, most importantly, the spirit of the Constitution! It gives an imbalance of power to an unelected official!

I urge everyone to call their Congressmen and Cogresswomen and tell them that you oppose this bill based on one or two of the above points.
