If passed, H.R. 1158 will:
*** Give an $83.3 Million bonus to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), bringing their full yearly budget to a whopping $1.4 Billion to enable them to further violate the Second Amendment rights of American citizens.
*** Grant $78 Million to states which force more names into the gun control leviathan that is the NICS registration system.
Having a hard time getting excited about this.
First line item, more funding for BATFE. Likely every agency in DC is getting more funding now. Maybe they're spending it on Alcohol, Tobacco, or Explosives instead. or new carpeting for the Kansas City office. No specifics on how it might be directed to violating your rights.
Second line item, wtf does that even mean? States can now round people up at gunpoint and force them to go through a NICS check? Doubt it. NICS is NICS, you either have to use it or you don't.
Plus the article doesn't explain how McConnell has anything to do with this House bill.
Seems like a nothingburger minus the bun, but if your dander is up be sure to send NAGR some money, they need better copywriters.
