Democratic bill would force all gun owners to go through 'psychological evaluations' along with family members

Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee introduced a bill earlier this month that would enact some of the strictest gun regulations in the history of the country and give the federal government sweeping power to decide who can own a firearm.

The Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act, named after a Pakistani exchange student who was murdered in Texas in 2018, would "provide for the licensing of firearm and ammunition possession and the registration of firearms" and "prohibit the possession of certain ammunition."

Specifically, the bill would dramatically expand the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Justice Department's ability to surveil legal gun owners, forcing them to submit information about "the make, model, and serial number of the firearm, the identity of the owner of the firearm, the date the firearm was acquired by the owner, and where the firearm is or will be stored."

Gun owners would have three months to comply with the new federal orders for a new database that would be "accessible to all members of the public."

Ownership of a firearm would also be restricted to those 21 and older. Individuals who meet the age requirement and apply for a federal gun license would then be ordered to undergo "a psychological evaluation." That evaluation would also be extended to "other members of the household in which the individual resides ... any spouse of the individual, any former spouse of the individual, and at least 2 other persons who are a member of the family of, or an associate of, the individual to further determine the state of the mental, emotional, and relational stability of the individual in relation to firearms."

Imagine all of those psychological evaluations being done within three months throughout the United States. ...or at all for that matter.

And family members and spouses of most people aren’t licensed to do psych evaluations. We’ve seen statements in the news from quite a few Democrats who seem to believe that just anyone can participate in evaluating someone psychologically.

And quite a few high profile Democrats should be properly evaluated.

They're acting like laws from a phony "government" mean anything.

All it means is that government "enforcers" are outlaw gunthugs.

Outlaw, in the truest sense of the word.

States need to do the ND and SD thing and refuse to recognize illegal actions by the federal government as being legitimate, and to refuse to enforce them.

The Founding Fathers warned repeatedly against exactly this concentration of power in a central government. They called it TYRANNY. Rinse/repeat 100,000,000 minimum dead under 20th century tyranny in USSR, Ukraine, China and more.

The District of Corruption is full of these power mad freaks of hell who see fit to dictate to the whole country on such minutiae. It is a sign of MENTAL DEFECT to insist that what is needed in Sheila Jackson Lee’s ignorant, violent, urban ghetto is what is needed in the Rocky Mountains or Texas or Alaska. Sheila should shut her piehole and fix her own district, but she is a failure, so she tries instead to impose her will on others far away. Disgusting.

Stealing the election was a milestone for the democrats. Disarming the dissenters is the next.

Here's part of what the text of the bill really says about evaluations.

"(D)as part of the psychological evaluation, the licensed psychologist interviewed any spouse of the individual, any former spouse of the individual, and at least 2 other persons who are a member of the family of, or an associate of, the individual to further determine the state of the mental, emotional, and relational stability of the individual in relation to firearms."

...not "extended to." Anyway, it looks like a Nazi Youth kind of strategy. It wouldn't be long, before everyone was disarmed.

And the push to drop the vote in Georgia made it possible. It will be done very incrementally and like a game of chess with each neighborhood's nuttiest targets first, so there'll be no fighting back or avoiding it.

I'm sure that they'll submit to it, or the Republican minority will force them to. *As seen on TV*
