HR 8: Universal background checks


(aka Universal Gun Registration)



 
House Resolution 8, the so-called "Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021," opens the door to a repeat of history. Remember when, under Bill Clinton, attorney general Janet Reno refused to purge NICS background check records, claiming that they were needed for "audit" purposes? Thankfully, George Bush's attorney general John Ashcroft reversed that de-facto gun control.

We now face the same Trojan horse, and we need to act immediately. HR8 passed in the House ... and if it passes the Senate and becomes law, it's a certainty that attorney general Merrick Garland will follow in Janet Reno's footsteps and will turn the NICS system into a de-facto gun registration system.

Sadly, eight Republican house members voted for this terrible bill, but none of them were from North Carolina. Needless to say, all of North Carolina's Democratic house members voted for it including Deborah Ross and Kathy Manning.

And if you still don't think this is an urgent issue, remember how Britain and Australia were able to ban guns — it was through their registries. Overnight, law-abiding citizens became criminals when the government decided that your guns were too dangerous for you (but perfectly fine for them). This article from Vox admits as much - that "Further legislation, such as gun licensing or a registry, is likely needed ..."

Read what North Carolina Congressman Richard Hudson had to say about this bill: "... the bills – they’re bringing up four this week – which would do nothing to have stopped a single mass shooting in this country, yet, they threaten the rights of law-abiding citizens ..."

HR8, in conjunction with HR1446, would allow the federal government to shutdown NICS and block all lawful gun sales in the country. Do you really want Joe Biden and Merrick Garland being able to terminate your rights on a whim?

Suggested Subject: "DENY HR8 A VOTE OF CLOTURE"  


Dear Senator:

I am writing to you to insist that you vote to deny HR8 and HR1446 votes of cloture.
 
We both know that there's nothing "bipartisan" about HR8, and that it's a gun registration Trojan horse that, if passed into law, will lead to mandatory gun confiscations. HR1446 is just as dangerous, and would give the federal government the power to shut down NICS completely—blocking every lawful firearms sale in the country. Law-abiding Americans don't deserve to be treated like criminals for exercising their fundamental and Constitutionally-protected rights, and this terrible legislation needs to be opposed at every possible opportunity.
 
I will continue to monitor this important issue through alerts from Grass Roots North Carolina.

 

Respectfully,
