H.R. 127 by Representative Jackson-Lee is a disgraceful attack on our Second Amendment freedoms and should be stopped immediately. The United States Constitution is very clear about this issue -- my right to defend myself and my family shall not be infringed. H.R. 127 is the ultimate infringement, as it would institute a national registry of every firearm and every bullet in America! In addition, legislation like this never impacts criminals who will ignore the law. In fact, it empowers and emboldens them because they know it means that fewer gun owners are armed and able to defend themselves! No, the real purpose behind this legislation is to destroy the Right of the People to defend themselves against tyrannical government and criminals alike. As one of your constituents, I am writing to insist that you vote no on this legislation at every point in the legislative process, and that you speak out against it publicly, as well. The Pennsylvania Firearms Association will be watching this bill and keeping me updated on it, and any politicians who support it. So please ‘VOTE NO’ on H.R. 127 or any similar legislation!

The bill being put forward by Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee is a dream come true for violent criminals bent on rape, robbery and murder. By instituting a national registry of every firearm and every bullet sold in America, this law would make it harder than ever before for law abiding gun owners to have a firearm for self-defense. And since criminals ignore gun control laws, they wouldn’t have to worry about running into an armed citizen near as much. Background checks haven’t stopped or lowered violent crime. Neither have waiting periods, bans on magazines, ‘Red Flag Gun Confiscation’ laws or anything. The reason is simple: gun control legislation (whether passed at the state or federal level) only restricts the freedoms of law abiding people. The same thing would be true of this disgusting legislation. As my elected voice in Congress, I am writing to let you know that I am watching this bill very closely and to insist that you ‘VOTE NO’ on this legislation at all points in the legislative process. The Pennsylvania Firearms Association will keep me informed about the status of this bill, and the politicians in Congress who support it.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee’s H.R. 127 is the kind of law that I expect to see on the books in nations where the people have no freedoms and suffer under a brutal dictator. After all, by requiring a license and registration for the sale of every firearm and every round of ammunition that I buy, it’s a small step for gun confiscation and tyranny. This legislation should never have been filed in the US Congress, and as my representative in Congress, I am writing to insist that you oppose H.R. 127 and all points in the legislative process and that you publicly condemn it! The Pennsylvania Firearms Association will keep me informed about the status of this bill, and the politicians in Congress who support it.

Representative Jackson-Lee’s H.R. 127 would mandate a registration program for all future gun and ammunition sales, presumably making me a criminal for buying an ‘unregistered’ firearm or ammunition. Besides being completely unconstitutional, it begs some questions. Will government officials be stopping by my home to audit my ammunition inventory? Will I have to eventually report how much ammunition I use at the range on the weekends? And how would this legislation stop criminals, again? Of course we all know that H.R. 127 wouldn’t stop a single criminal, but that’s not why legislation like this is being introduced in the first place. H.R. 127 has just one purpose: to build a national database of every gun owner in the country, to make it easier for radical socialists like Representative Jackson-Lee to be able to confiscate our guns down the road. That’s why I am writing you, as a voter in your district, to insist that you ‘VOTE NO’ on this and every other piece of gun control legislation that is filed in Congress this year!

The purpose of the Second Amendment was as a final check on a run-away tyrannical government, that wanted to subjugate their own people. That’s why the Second Amendment states that our right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. H.R. 127 is the ultimate infringement on my freedoms, as it would make me a criminal for buying ‘unlicensed’ firearms or ammunition! This legislation has just one purpose: to build a national database of every gun owner in the country, to facilitate future gun confiscation. As my elected voice in Congress, I am writing to insist that you ‘VOTE NO’ on this legislation at all points in the legislative process. The Pennsylvania Firearms Association will keep me informed about the status of this bill, and the politicians in Congress who support it.
