Title: Anti gun law just introduced
Post by: Humpy on January 29, 2021, 07:26:17 AM

Federal HR 127 Licensing firearms, ammo and creating a public access registry has been proposed in the House.
(https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/img/renderTimingPixel.png)

HR 127, proposed on Jan 4 , 2021, has had the text of the bill added online.
It includes: Gun registration (who, what, where stored, etc); Insurance requirements; Psychological Testing of gun owners (and their families!); Gun Training Requirements; Public access to federal gun registry info; Elimination of prior laws preventing the creation of gun registration.
And a lot more... this is just the beginning of the gun grabbing we knew was coming. Need to keep our eyes on this one. Get involved!

This is my favorite part "?(dd)[/size][/color][/size](1) It shall be unlawful for any person to possess ammunition that is 0.50 caliber or greater." This is a poorly written bill that will never have enough support to go any further.[/color]

Jennifer,

will this ban shotgun ammo?
Most of them have a caliber which is definitly bigger than .50"

Axel,


I imagine that would be an unintended consequence of the bill.  I'm sure the intent of the sponsor was to ban .50 AE, .500 S&W, and .50 BMG.   ::)  I haven't heard anything more on this bill....it is likely dying rapidly.

There may be a loop hole in the law for those who use metric!

I believe this over .50 law already exists in that several years ago the original .50AE ammunition was banned by the ATF due to it being over .50 (.507"). Later / current product now being smaller (.497).

Would you have to measure land caliber or groove caliber?  (2Xs sarc)   :-\

The AFTE forum is for the exchange of information to assist in case work, information, and advancing the science.  Political discussions can be expressed on other forums.  Please utilize those forums for political discussions.

If a law passes that examiners need to know about because it affects their casework, please post.
