Copy of email I received today 3/2 from Gun Owners of America (GOA)
Pelosi’s House will take up TWO gun control bills as early as next week:
H.R. 8
Requiring background checks for every “TRANSFER” (NOT just sale) of a firearm, thereby criminalizing private transfers of firearms that take place even inside your own home with limited “exceptions”
**************************
The term “transfer” does not mean transfer of ownership, it means letting your neighbor’s son handle your unloaded .22 rifle on your property, or letting a friend at the gun club shoot a round of trap with your shotgun.
****************************
If enforced to the letter, H.R. 8 could put millions of gun owners in prison by outlawing the transfer of any firearm without a proper Brady Check.
The bill claims to offer some so-called “exceptions,” but these will be practically useless to gun owners.
Under H.R. 8, since every gun “transfer” will go through a dealer, every gun owner will have a BATFE Form 4473 (Firearms Transaction Record), setting the stage for a national gun registry.
H.R. 1446
VERY LENGTHY delays for the sale of a firearm. This is indeed “infringing” on RKBA.
We cannot wait until these bills hit the House floor to ramp up our efforts to strike them down. We need to start turning up the heat on our representatives to ensure they vote to protect our God-given — not government-given — right to keep and bear arms.
