The House of Representatives passed the bipartisan gun control package Friday afternoon sending it to President Joe Biden's desk.

In a vote of 234 to 193, with the help of 14 Republicans, the House followed the Senate's lead in green-lighting the legislation - the most significant firearms bill passed in decades.

...

The 14 GOP lawmakers to vote in favor of the bill included January 6 committee members - Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger - along with Reps. Tom Rice, John Katko, Maria Salazr, Chris Jacobs, Brian Fitzpatrick, Peter Meijer, Fred Upton, Steve Chabot, Mike Turner, David Joyce, Athony Gonzalez of Ohio and Tony Gonzalez.

...

McConnell had argued that the bipartisan compromise package would have no impact on Americans' Second Amendment rights.

They pass it just before this issue is placed permanently on the back burner by the Court’s ruling today. Good job, Republicans!

No one knows what’s in the Bill. It’s private and super secret.

Too bad for the guinea pig who gets to challenge it all the way to the USSC.

I look forward to the day that SCOTUS knocks down each and every provision in this bill.

I guess I should say ‘days’ since it will be one-by-one.

The Red Flag provision will be used for political purposes far more than for the supposed purpose of protecting the public.

And very soon.....

Just look at how the Patriot Act has been turned into a political weapon.

“All it takes is for one person to say you’re dangerous and without your knowledge you could lose your guns.”

Gee, this could happen to those that voted for it also!

McConnell, you know damned well.

This bill is a nothingburger, but it is a SYMBOLIC and DAMAGING bill because it is the first bill in the Era of New Gun Controls.

This marks the BEGINNING, not the END, of gun bans.

I’m sure that an federal court will call it unconstitutional as soon it or enacted.

Now, think about this...

What if someone called in and said that the body guard of a “big, important person” was dangerous? Would that bodyguard for the “big, important person” have his guns taken away?

Or does this law only apply to the “little people of flyover country”?

It’s not like we don’t already have a two-tiered justice system.

That was quick. After today they need to put points on the board. I expect joe will sign it very soon, this weekend maybe and theyll gloat and rub it in our faces to make themselves feel better.

Yeah hell. The communist run around demanding this and that and simply saying that they are going to ignore any laws/Supreme court rulings that they don't like.
Think we all ought to try some of that.

Can someone please tell me if this bill is the the same as H.R. 7910? Or is it H.R. 6817? Thanks.
