Thanks. Just the name of the bill is unsettling.
“H.R. 127, titled the “Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act,” was introduced by Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) at the beginning of the 117th Congress.”
Appropriately named after a foreigner from Pakistan.
It’s worse than that. Notice the part about “all members of the public” below in regards to the database. And there are other elements of the bill that are worse than what you saw in that comment.
