Thanks forty_years. We really need to get serious about banning the so-called and badly misnamed Democratic Party.
Shown below are the REPUBLICANS involved in H.R. 3999 — and please feel free to contact them to ask what they forgot about “shall not be infringed.” (Remember that unconstitutionality has not prevented bad legislation from getting passed.)

I've been working my butt off to get people to sign this petition, even going as far as buying ads on Facebook.
My efforts have yielded about 4341 new signatures and we need 48,724 signatures by November 11, 2017 to get a response from the White House.
I know this petition is not anywhere near the greatest treatise of all time addressing "gun control" legislation, but it does sum up the danger of the bill (banning anything "to increase the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle" could mean literally anything -- like your fingers?).
But someone put it out there at the right time and it got to almost 47,000 signatures when I found it.
Most importantly, we could get President Trump to veto and/or tweet the dang bill to death. A 100,000 signatures would also make the Republican sponsors worry about their reelection prospects in 2018, as we know the establishment types aren't exactly feeling secure these days with the Democrat Party imploding (and see "Schumer steers Dems away from gun votes").
Please kindly spread the word -- THE LINK IS https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/do-not-pass-hr3999 -- and encourage fellow patriots to sign the petition and distribute the link.
THANKS!
