Most would agree we're at a critical time in our Republic. The Left are making several unprecedented moves against the Constitution in regards to our rights and our freedoms. Biden openly said that "No amendment in the Constitution is absolute". While he's basically correct, they can't be changed by an executive order or even a new law. To change an amendment requires a 2/3's vote by both the House and the Senate and then ratified by 3/4s of the states. But they don't care... They'll continue to push as long as we let them. And as such, I give to you HB118.
State Rep. Larry Frieman of Louisiana District 74 has introduced a bill, HB118, waiting to be sent to committee, to basically declare Louisiana a 'Second Amendment Sanctuary'. Four states and almost a thousand counties have already done this.
The bill “Creates the Louisiana Firearm Protection Act; provides for definitions; provides relative to infringements on a citizen's right to keep and bear arms; provides for application of the Act; and specifies who has a right of action.”
It already has several cosponsors including representatives Beau Beaullieu, Gabe Firment, Dodie Horton, Danny McCormick, Jack McFarland, Charles Owen, and Alan Seabaugh.
You need to contact your state representative and state senator tell them (yes... "tell them"... they work for you.) to support this bill.
Many of you may have heard of HR 127. It's a Federal bill introduced by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee D-TX) which calls for:
1. Federal licensing of individuals to own and/or purchase firearms and ammunition. Separate licensing for the "display of an antique weapon in the residence of the individual" and "to an individual... to own and possess a military-style weapon". The licenses will be renewed every five years.
You'll be required to take a minimum of 8 hours of training and will require a psychological examination. Depending on the results, "as deemed necessary by the licensed psychologist involved" the evaluation may include "an evaluation of other members of the household in which the individual resides" and "as part of the psychological evaluation... any spouse of the individual, any former spouse of the individual, and at least 2 other persons who are a member of the family of, or an associate of, the individual to further determine the state of the mental, emotional, and relational stability of the individual in relation to firearms."
2. Requires individuals to disclose what firearms they currently own in order to create a national, PUBLICLY accessible database of said weapons. Information required includes, "the make, model, and serial number of the firearm, the identity of the owner of the firearm, the date the firearm was acquired by the owner, and where the firearm is or will be stored" and “a notice specifying the identity of any person to whom, and any period of time during which, the firearm will be loaned to the person."
3. Requires you to purchase, through the government, liability insurance at the cost of $800 per year.
4. It basically brings back the "Assault Weapons Ban" including specific firearms and magazine capacity limitations.
5. Bans .50 caliber and larger ammunition. Knowing the general ignorance of politicians regarding firearms, I could see this being interpreted as any shotgun larger than a .410.
6. Violations will consist of fines from $10K to $150K and/or prison from 5 to 25 years.
This is urgent people. You may think it 'can't happen here' but it has already happened. In California. In New York. In Chicago. In Massachusetts. In Nazi Germany, the USSR, Venezuela, China... etc.
I urge you to contact your state representatives and state senators. The Federal bill could pass. There are more Democrats in the House than Republicans and the Senate is split 50/50 with Kamala Harris breaking any tie. And there's no guarantee all the Republicans would against it anyway, as Bill Cassidy has shown.
If you don't know who your representatives are, you can go to the Voter Portal website and determine your district and then to the Legislature page and get the contact information to your representative and Senate to get the same for your senator.
