Do we really want an ever more tyrannical government?

For many residents of Amsterdam, the German invasion of May 10, 1940, came as a shock.
“We were trapped,” said Lena Herzfeld, “along with one hundred and forty thousand other Dutch Jews.”
“Unlike France and Belgium, which were placed under German military control, Hitler decided that the Netherlands would be run by a civilian administration,” writes Daniel Silva in The Rembrandt Affair. “He gave the job to Reichskommissar Arthur Seyss-Inquart, a fanatical anti-Semite who had presided over Austria after the Anschluss in 1938.”
“Within days the decrees began. At first, a benign-sounding order forbade Jews from serving as air-raid wardens. Then Jews were ordered to leave the Hague, Holland’s capital, and to move from sensitive coastal areas. In September, all Jewish newspapers were banned. In November, all Jews employed by the Dutch civil service, including those who worked in the educational and telephone systems, were summarily dismissed. Then, in January 1941, came the most ominous Nazi decree to date. All Jews residing in Holland were given four weeks to register with the Dutch census office. Those who refused were threatened with prison and faced consfiscation of their property.
“The census provided the Germans with a map showing the name, address, age, and sex of nearly every Jew in Holland.
“We foolishly gave them the keys to our destruction.”

I quote the above passage from The Rembrandt Affair to show you just how insidious the very thought of a bill such as HR 127 can be. Allow such a Nazi-like bill to pass, and a cascade of new Fascist orders is bound to ensue.
To own a gun, you would first need to pass a background check. (If you believe in freedom, or have ever attended a freedom rally, would you be allowed to pass such a background check?)
Then you would need to pass a psych evaluation. (Since I don’t believe in the global warming hoax, would I pass a psych evaluation? What about you? What other politically incorrect attitudes could be used against you?)
Then you would be required to pay -, who knows how much? – for 24 hours of training.
Then you would be required to purchase an insurance policy issued by a government agency at a cost of $800 per year. (What reasons could they manufacture to render you uninsurable? What’s to keep them from doubling the cost of the insurance any time they like?)
What will happen if you violate this blatant attempt at fascist control? A minimum – minimum! – fine of $50,000 and, get this, 10-15 years minimum in jail.
This is insane and completely violates our 2nd amendment. We need to completely annihilate this bill!
Yes, the above is exactly what the bill proposes.
Meanwhile, they want to allow more and more felons onto the streets while defunding the police.
You can see the proposed bill in all its gobbledygook glory for yourself right here:

Doesn’t matter - I will. not. comply.
We need to completely annihilate all who WROTE THE BILL and all who VOTE FOR THE BILL. With extreme prejudice.
Golly gosh Mister Fed, I had this boating accident. They are somewhere on the bottom of Lake Superior. I think the spot where I lost them was over 1000 feet deep.
I wouldn’t count on it.
Can’t we reasonable over my attempts to use government thugs to kill you if you don’t give you your rights?
Yep. The GOP talks a big talk when they aren’t in power but when they are in power, they are mushy, mealy-mouthed, co-conspirators with the DemoNazis who do nothing to reverse the downward spiral that our rights are in.
This past election proved the uselessness of the court. This is going to stop when the people stop it.
What the definition of a brain disease?
Too easy. Liberalism!
Let’s all become lawbreakers.....
Remember jury nullification!
Yep. And naturally, the GOPe will bend over and grab their ankles.
“This past election proved the uselessness of the court. This is going to stop when the people stop it.”
The bill won’t pass Congress anyway.
"...HR 127..."
BTT
If it passes, those here and elsewhere who called for the least intelligent of Georgians to avoid voting in the runoff elections are to blame more than anyone else. Both of those senators had great Second Amendment senatorial voting records, and they’d both received majorities of votes before the runoffs.
Another inconvenient truth... Most of the voters by far, who want gun control, are women. Another one, yet... Too many Republicans in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and California are also in favor of gun control. They like to keep their fat corporate/government incomes from being taxed, but they don’t care about American freedoms.
