The National Rifle Association has issued an alert that Democrats are using the worldwide coronavirus pandemic to push for more gun control.
A bill introduced by U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., "would leave law-abiding Americans defenseless," the organization charged.
"At a time when our nation struggles, everyone's first and foremost concern is the safety of themselves and their loved ones. However, this doesn't stop Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) from pushing a massive gun grab bill in the U.S. House of Representatives," the group said.
The bill, H.R. 5717, the Gun Violence Prevention and Community Safety Act, is nothing new, the NRA explained, but is similar to a plan proposed recently by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.
"H.R. 5717 includes banning semi-automatic firearms like the AR-15, a federal licensing scheme for all gun purchasers, 'universal' background checks, unconstitutional red flag laws, and other anti-gun proposals that have already been introduced," the NRA said.

“U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Stupid”
Still trying to balance Guam.
Another piece of brilliance from Hank “Tipping Guam” Johnson.
Drat, you beat me by three seconds!
Such a bill will never pass the Senate, much less be signed by POTUS. Maybe not even pass the House.
Why is NRA giving it the time of day?
Their fundraising/revenues are in the toilet.

Hey now. I lived on Guam. It’s doing just fine. Well, at least it was 1947-50. Course I was just a baby so what do I know? :-)
Because, like rust, evil never sleeps.
Being an idiot and being a powerful corrupt politician, especially if a Democrat, are hardly mutually exclusive.
Forget helping people ,just remove all their rights and it will not stick
bttt
I kinda doubt FReeper “Texican” is still with us. He received the Bronze Star for action on Guam.
At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
To which I can only add one of my old taglines:
The government wants to disarm us after 243 yrs 'cuz they plan to do things we would shoot them for!
I modified it to fit from a Pookie18 toon of 12/18/20"
How are we supposed to shoot the coronavirus if they take our guns away?
It’s why I stocked up on .22. Small caliber for small viruses.
I hope they keep this crap up & I hope Republicans are writing ads to put on-line & on tv for the rest of the year. Dems are nothing but little Stalinists, & it’s becoming more & more obvious to more & more people.
