Crazed Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee wants to destroy the right to bear arms.
The gun control mob is not resting.
Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee kicked the year off by introducing H.R. 127, a gun control bill that would require gun owners to undergo psychological evaluations, licensing, gun registration after the fact, and even possess a license for modern sporting rifles.
The pro-Second Amendment organization the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said on January 29, 2021 that this gun control bill is “insanity on steroids”.
“Over the years we’ve seen some astonishingly bad legislation originate on Capitol Hill, but this one takes the term ‘abomination’ to an entirely new level. One look at this bill and you wonder whether Congresswoman Jackson Lee ever heard of the Bill of Rights, which includes the Second Amendment,” declared CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb.
Under H.R. 127, firearm owners must provide the ATF with the make, model, and serial number of every gun they have in their possession. This includes firearms people may have owned for multiple years. On top of that, Ammoland noted that “gun owners would have to report the identity of any person to whom, and any period of time during which, the firearm will be loaned to that individual.”
According to the licensing requirement, the license applicant has to go through a criminal background check. After that, they must undergo a psychological evaluation to determine if the person is psychologically fit enough to own a firearm. It doesn’t end there, however. Ammoland also observed that “Successful licensees must show they have an insurance policy which will cost $800.”
Gottlieb concluded:
H.R. 127 is a constitutionally-challenged monstrosity. It ignores the fact that the Second Amendment protects a fundamental right to keep and bear arms, not some strictly-regulated government privilege. Government cannot require a psychological evaluation to exercise a right enumerated in the Constitution.
Is it possible Sheila Jackson Lee skipped high school civics.This legislation treats firearms owners like second-class citizens for exercising their Second Amendment rights. It’s an outrage that a member of Congress could even conceive of such a measure, much less propose that it become law.
Instead of subjecting gun owners to such Draconian requirements, maybe it’s time to require psychological evaluations of each member of Congress.
Christopher Dorr, the President of the American Firearms Association, said the following about H.R. 127:
“This legislation is designed for just one purpose: to disarm an entire country of gun owners, reducing us to helpless serfs who are powerless against criminals and tyrants alike!”
Lee’s gun grab is just the next step in the litany of gun control that the federal government has shoved down Americans’ throats over the past 90 years. Second amendment advocates must be ready to quickly mobilize against these gun grabs.
With a Democrat trifecta, anti-gunners will try to pull off all sorts of shenanigans to undermine the right to keep and bear arms. With the right amount of pushback against moderate Democrats in relatively pro-gun states, this gun grab and countless others could potentially be derailed.
Not everything is set in stone in politics.
Being White will mean one is crazy.
“Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one. ... Being in a minority, even in a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.””

Sheila Jackson Lee, Nuff said
I believe communist Russia also denied civil rights based on psychiatric evaluations.
Let’s play the video of this a@@ racist power crazy apparatchik— the one of her refusing to get out of someone else’s reserved seat on an aircraft— BECAUSE of “who she is”— make it viral.
Then the video sequence of her slipping a cash envelope directly to Blasey Ford (the “little girl” fraud rape screamer at the Kavenaugh hearings).
What this thing is- is a bag woman for black mobsters and dopers in Houston. All under the aegis of liberation theology and.... Maxine Waters profits directly to Lee.
I have a neighboorhood whack-job who freaked out on me that my 14 year old son at the time had a Daisy air rifle. And I mean red in the face spittle on the lips outraged he had an air rifle. So bizarre.
Fake Trump supporters in Capitol building, NG guarding DC against the Trump domestic terrorists, media promoting racism, white supremacy.......its all optics and is not going to end.
...they must undergo a psychological evaluation to determine if the person is psychologically fit enough to own a firearm.
So the evaluation will be conducted by a government appointed doctor. Every one fails the test. Unless you are one of the protected class.
Meanwhile, gang bangers and illegal aliens will be left alone.

Well, he could put his eye out................
Psych eval?
Psych is a fake science created for people who can’t actually get through med school.
Funny, I’m actually re-reading that right now.
How many LAGO idiots on this forum are going to comply?
people like that need their teeth knocked down their throat... that’ll learn ‘em.
If anyone in America is deserving of a psychological evaluation it is representative Sheila Jackson Lee
Just try me... At what point?
When I was 14, I could walk all over town with a .22 rifle. Nobody freaked out. If a cop drove by, he’d just wave.
““This legislation is designed for just one purpose: to disarm an entire country of gun owners, reducing us to helpless serfs who are powerless against criminals and tyrants alike!”
Not quite accurate. It is designed to make sure that only the wealthy and the criminals have guns. The middle class and lower middle class will be defenseless against them.
