Democrats are back at it again, using a “good crisis” to attack the Second Amendment. Although most people know that it is not in the best interest of anyone to make hasty decisions when under emotional influence, this is not stopping the latest gun controls efforts. The House recently passed H.R.7910 legislation. The “Protecting Our Kids Act” does not do much to protect children and further weakens our Second Amendment rights. RELATED STORY Does “Gun Free Zone” Legislation Work? After much testimony, the House voted 223-204 in favor of a comprehensive package of gun control legislation. The bill H.R.7910, referred to as the “Protecting Our Kids Act”, was even supported by five Republican lawmakers. Two Democrats voted against the legislation, however, and they defected. CNN Politics reports that five Republicans voted in favor of the bill: Reps. Anthony Gonzalez, Fred Upton, Brian Fitzpatrick, Adam Kinzinger, Chris Jacobs, New York, and Fred Upton, Ohio. Two Democrats – Reps. Jared Golden from Maine and Kurt Schrader from Oregon – voted against it. Gun Control Wish List This legislation was voted on alongside H.R.2377 (“Extreme Risk Protection Orders”), a long-standing gun control wishlist. It is full of measures that Americans don’t want, as expected. CNN Politics reports that the House passed a number of bills aimed at preventing gun violence. The measure would increase the legal age to purchase certain semiautomatic centerfire rifles to 21 years, create new federal offenses in gun trafficking and for selling large capacity magazines, and allow local governments and individuals to be compensated for their surrenders through a buyback program. “It would create an incentive tax for retail sales of safe storage devices, and criminal penalties for violating new regulations regulating firearm storage at residential premises. It also stated that the measure would strengthen federal regulations regarding ghost guns and bump stocks. Although they called the bill “Protecting Our Kids Act”, none of this has to do with protecting our children. We all want our children to be safe. Protection is not just about funding security, hardening schools and funding mental health initiatives. All this legislation does is to weaken law-abiding gun owners, and empower black-market firearms dealers. This legislation could lead to total confiscation of firearms in the near future. Nothing else. Lucretia Hughes Klucken is a living example the failures in gun control. “Gun control lobbyists claim their policies will reduce violence and save lives.” These policies didn’t save my son.” “Gun Control Lobbyists and Politicians claim that their policies will save lives, reduce violence, and save lives. Those policies didn’t save my son,” Lucretia Hughes Klucken’s son Emmanuel was killed by a convicted felon using an illegal gun.

Particularly, from violent felons using illegal firearms. She demonstrates that gun control is not effective and only encourages criminals. The Senate is in Trouble. To pass the legislation, it will need 60 votes. This is unlikely. Currently, there are 48 Democrats, 50 Republicans and 2 Independents. This bill is not popular with many Republicans. CNN Politics reports that the Senate is unlikely to approve the measure due to widespread opposition from the GOP to tighter gun control. “A bipartisan group of senators are engaging in talks to try to find common ground on guns policy, but it’s still unclear what, or if anything, will result from the effort.” But this doesn’t necessarily mean that the bill has failed. Since the beginning of the year, Democrats have been discussing eliminating the filibuster. With the fervent push for gun control, some even believe this is the right issue to address. To end the filibuster, only a simple majority would need to pass the legislation. It would be possible. The Legislation that Could Inadvertently Rewrite Everything While political theater is not new and there has always had to be infighting between the party leaders, something is different. The Democrats are now speaking loudly about the quiet parts. They will do whatever it takes and will be willing to destroy the democratic process to get what they want. Mondaire Jones, a Democratic New York Rep., recently stated that “You will not prevent us from moving forward with the Protecting Our Kids Act now.” It will pass in the House next week, and you won’t stop us.” Jones continued, “If we are obstructed by the filibuster, we will repeal it.” We will expand it if the Supreme Court objects. We will not stop until we have eliminated all weapons of war from our communities. We will do whatever it takes to end gun violence every day, no matter what it takes.” Jimmy Kimmel also joked about President Biden jailing his political opponents (7:05). Kimmel asked Kimmel, “It’s almost like you’re playing Monopoly against somebody who won’t pass ‘Go’, or won’t follow any rules. And how can you ever make any progress if you don’t follow the rules?” Only time will tell if this legislation will make it to the Senate. The Democrats have made it clear that they will use the legislation to make this happen. This will forever change the face and character of democracy in the United States. We are in unfamiliar waters and we can only hope that cooler heads prevail. This is not just a fight to protect our Second Amendment rights. It is a fight to protect all of them. A constitutional republic would be very vulnerable if it were to remove the filibuster or pack the SCOTUS. Sign up for the Personal Defense World newsletter today to stay in the loop!
