JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — No doubt it's a hot debate. HR 127 is a gun bill proposed by Democrat Representative Sheila Jackson Lee. It focuses on registration and licenses.
Gun rights activist Colion Noir is calling it "pure, unadulterated Grade A (bleep)."
I'm a gun owner. I have no problem with a 3 day waiting period and a background check. Who wants a nutball in having a gun? The greedy gun manufacturers don't care. I do. Gun owners should.
I’m with you 100%. NRA keep blabbing about proposed laws being too restrictive , but I rearely see them present any law to show they care about anything but selling weapons to as many people as possible. That worked so well out west in the 19th century where Main Street shootouts were à for of entertainment.
@Barnie2years NRA basically are lobbyist for gun manufacturers. They used to promote gun safety and sponsor gun education. They're just a right wing organization anymore.
@barjoe I was a member decades ago, as they were just starting to radicalize. My died in the wool Republican father dropped his membership before I did when they were pushing for military weapons to be easily available. I was hunting and getting their hunting magazine, so stayed a little longer until they pretty much dropped the pretense of being anything but firearms industry shills.
I think gun owners should take a cue form the movie industry. They created their own system of regulation (movie ratings system), so the government would not come in and do so.
@snytiger6 They won't. I live in a high crime area. I have a carry permit but I usually keep a 9mm within reach in my living room and a 38 special in my bedroom. I have never brandished on the street. Had to in my old house when someone broke in my home. I called the police. I was prepared to shoot him.
