Here is my previous piece on the building of a tinderbox in our nation’s capital.

My thoughts remain the with Guardsmen and their families.

This bill won’t make law enforcement less likely to use lethal force, but it will subject them, and everyone living in America, to greater danger.

We must tell Congress to oppose this bill and focus on solutions that will actually save lives!

They want to change the law so they can make more money, and they don’t care that ANYONE, including individuals who have been convicted of violent crimes, could buy and alter these weapons, easily turning them into fully functioning firearms.

They are insisting this is about law enforcement, but outside of its name, the bill doesn’t mention law enforcement in any way.

There are no federal barriers to law enforcement accessing “less-than-lethal” weapons. This is not about law enforcement. This is about money.

👇

This means no paperwork, no serial numbers, no license to make or sell them, and no background checks to buy them.

If they’re “not guns” you could even sell them at your local gas station, supermarket, or online.

And they can easily be turned into ghost guns.

👇

But what if those weapons weren’t guns? Then the rules for firearms wouldn't apply anymore. Red tape gone.

That’s what the bill does.

It creates a broad exemption in the legal definition of “firearm,” turning weapons that are regulated as guns today into “not guns” tomorrow.
