This is one of the most absurd bills I’ve ever heard of. Criminalizing self defense.

The people who are pushing this should be executed for treason.

I certainly hope mosques will be included

Like all laws in the post-Floyd America, it'll apply to everyone but will only be enforced against whites.

Remember Robert Mitchum as the preacher carrying that Bible everywhere he went in Five Card Stud with Dean Martin? Hollowed out with a loaded pistol inside. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

I have an idea, how about we make it illegal for congress to have armed security. See how that works Ed?

Markey is and always has been a complete souless / Godless / leech. I was raised in Massachusetts and he is a vicious evil man.

He is paving the way for more progressive mass shootings of unarmed citizens. Just another way to slaughter Christians.

However, this paragraph is among the exceptions defining who is NOT considered as going against the proposed law:

“(4) [italics and bold are mine] members of an organization that is authorized under Federal or State law to provide paramilitary, law enforcement, or security services training or to engage in paramilitary activity, law enforcement, or security services when performing the functions authorized by law and, in the case of paramilitary activity and law enforcement functions, when under the direction and control of a governmental authority.

More proof that Democrats and Liberals suffer from a mental disease.

No, preventing worshippers from protecting themselves from deadly attacks is EVIL and evil is NOT a disease.

MK Ultra was the real deal—and its successor operations continue in the shadows.

No matter how bad you think the evil and treachery is—it is much much worse.

The Deep State wants their agents free to terrorize innocent Americans at will—it helps create a “trauma state” that is ideal for brainwashing.

A well armed citizenry is a major impediment to such plans.
