Gun Control has been signed into law by President Biden with the support of turncoat Republicans.

In the middle of the night, the U.S. Senate passed the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022 (VAWA). Some gun rights groups raised alarm bells when this act passed the U.S. House of Representatives last year with Republican support. At the time, Republicans like Dan Crenshaw said that the anti-gun provisions of the bill would be removed and accused Gun Owners of America (GOA) of fearmongering to fundraise.

Democrats and Republicans led by Senator Jodi Ernst negotiated the bill’s anti-gun provisions.

Republican politicians, who previously vowed never to vote for the bill unless the anti-gun provisions were removed, voted yes with those anti-gun provisions fully intact.

The following Republicans voted for this: h/t@JSNMGC

Barrasso (R-WY) Blunt (R-MO) Capito (R-WV) Collins (R-ME) Cornyn (R-TX) Ernst (R-IA) Graham (R-SC) Grassley (R-IA) Hyde-Smith (R-MS) McConnell (R-KY) Moran (R-KS) Murkowski (R-AK) Portman (R-OH) Shelby (R-AL) Thune (R-SD) Tuberville (R-AL) Wicker (R-MS) Young (R-IN)

Prominently among those Republicans to betray the Second Amendment was Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. Senator Hyde-Smith had previously released a statement to AmmoLand News that she would never vote for the bill in its anti-gun version.

An updated statement was given to AmmoLand News after receiving a tip that Senator Hyde-Smith was open to the bill with the anti-gun provisions intact.

The bill includes the NICS Denial Notification Act. This provision will require the criminal investigation of all National Instant Criminal Background Check System denials. The vast majority of NICS denials are false.

The bill’s passage means that thousands of law-abiding Americans will be subject to criminal investigation due to a mistake in a flawed government database. Guilty until proven innocent.

Empowering ATF

Another provision in the bill will allow the deputization of local law enforcement by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). This provision is a direct attack against states with Second Amendment Protection Acts (SAPA). Those bills prevent state and local law enforcement from enforcing federal gun control, but since VAWA allows for the deputization of local law enforcement, that means the federal government can restore the power of local police to enforce federal gun laws by making them agents of ATF.

The bill also includes funds for “gun violence” research. Federal research into gun violence has always been flawed in the past. Instead of using evidence-based science to come to a conclusion, the government has been caught using a predetermined result. The federal agency would decide on a conclusion they wanted first and work backward by using evidence to back up their opinion while ignoring evidence contradicting their stance. The practice was highlighted by whistleblower Dr. Miguel Faria whose testimony in front of Congress ended funding for gun violence research by the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

While most gun rights groups have been fighting against the VAWA’s gun-control provisions, there have been rumblings that the NRA lobbyists told Senators that the powerful gun group was neutral on the bill giving those Senators the green light to vote for VAWA. This information was given to AmmoLand News by multiple Congressional staffers on the hill. AmmoLand News has been working to confirm or dispel the rumor with NRA-ILA but so far the NRA has yet to provide a clear statement.

I became a benefactor member about 40 years ago, but don't donate. They quit sending me the monthly rag probably 10 years ago. They probably think I'm dead.

Nah, I never read 'em anyway. Come to think of it, I don't get a mailbox full of the begging letters either.

Best let a sleeping dog lie.

Great point, and now that you mention it, I don't get their "calls for cash" either.

their "calls for cash"

I get bunches of emails from Republicans, and they all ask for amounts way beyond my capability to procure. ;)

Two years back I stopped donating to any and all PACs, and only give to individual candidates, and that's gone down to a handful or fewer.

emails get the "unsubscribe" button

A pox on all their houses.

Several years ago I ran for a political office. My name was first on the ballot statewide, so every voter in the state either voted for me or skipped over my name. Unsurprisingly, most skipped over me, as I was not an insider or a swamp creature.

For years afterward, whenever a candidate would ask me for money, I'd answer "Let me check with my treasurer and see how much you donated to my campaign. I'll give double that to yours." I could have said 100x, and it would have cost me just as little.

Here’s some legislation you will never see enacted.

Stop Black On Black Gun Violence Bill. Stop Black Gun Violence. Because they are committing far more of these crimes than anyone else, and the funny thing is, now all it will take is the word of some anonymous tipster who has an axe to grind to get the FBI and the local law enforcement to come take what you own. Simply because someone says so.

I foresee a lot of cops losing their gun rights almost overnight as they by and large have a large percentage of abuse claims against them by former spouses and lovers.

Going to be fun to watch.

I get emails from candidates frequently. They usually ask for some outrageous amount like $250, as if I am flush with cash and have credit cards in my pocket. I am not, and do not. ;)

Isn't there usually a line for "Other"? -- after the $5000, $2500, $1000, and $250 dollar options? If the return envelope is postage pre-paid, some people fill it up with rocks and then mail it back. I've even heard of taping the envelope to a brick, but I don't know if that would pass at the post office.

I can't say I noticed any line that offered "other" contributions.

But if someone were to send a white powder back in the envelope it might cause a stir. ;)
