U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s H.R. 127, a gun control measure requiring gun owner licensing, psychological evaluations, retroactive gun registration, and separate licensing for modern sporting rifles is “insanity on steroids,” the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
“Over the years,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “we’ve seen some astonishingly bad legislation originate on Capitol Hill, but this one takes the term ‘abomination’ to an entirely new level. One look at this bill and you wonder whether Congresswoman Jackson Lee ever heard of the Bill of Rights, which includes the Second Amendment.”
H.R. 127 would require the owner of any firearm to supply the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives with the make, model, and serial number of every gun he or she owns, and that includes guns people may have owned for years. They would also have to report the identity of any person to whom, and any period of time during which, the firearm will be loaned to that individual.
The licensing requirement mandates that the license applicant undergoes a criminal background check, and then submits to a psychological evaluation to determine whether the person is psychologically unsuited to possess a firearm. Successful licensees must show they have an insurance policy which will cost $800.
“H.R. 127 is a constitutionally-challenged monstrosity,” Gottlieb stated. “It ignores the fact that the Second Amendment protects a fundamental right to keep and bear arms, not some strictly-regulated government privilege. Government cannot require a psychological evaluation to exercise a right enumerated in the Constitution.
“Is it possible Sheila Jackson Lee skipped high school civics,” he wondered. “This legislation treats firearms owners like second-class citizens for exercising their Second Amendment rights. It’s an outrage that a member of Congress could even conceive of such a measure, much less propose that it become law.
“Instead of subjecting gun owners to such Draconian requirements,” Gottlieb observed, “maybe it’s time to require psychological evaluations of each member of Congress.”

This will apply to voting and all other rights as well?
Should apply to anyone running for office!
Concur with the last statement…It is time to require a psych eval on politicians, maybe throw in a civics lesson on the constitution in there as well.
how about a felony indictment for perjury, for swearing her oath of office then violating it?
I will not comply if this constitutional violation is passed or rammed into law.
Why this woman is still in congress is amazing as she is so stupid and this bill proves it.
uncle dudley,
That’s kind of harsh – I learned a lot about AR15s from Sheila Jackson Lee:
“They are as heavy as ten boxes that you might be moving.”

Probably true if you approach building an AR as stupidly as Jackson Lee approaches the crafting of law.
Posted reply with youtube video – on hold.
Because the people that vote for her are dumber than she is. Harris County is rife with Sheilaisms. One of her best ones was during the Harvey rainstorm and flooding where she declared “Houston is 50 feet below sea level”on national TV. These are the same morons that helped elect Lina (alias Dora the Explorer) Hidalgo as county judge (executive) when her sole experience had been going to school at Stanford and Harvard, probably on someone else’s nickel.
I think she has her hair braided too tight.
All hat and no horse – never a truer description of anyone than that one of SJL. I think those are the tests that those running for congress should have to pass – weekly. Here’s the rub: “shall not be infringed.” She needs to read that, think about it, and apparently have someone explain it to her. Can you imagine imposing these restrictions on the right to free speech? Or freedom to worship?
@gsteele – They are working on those. As soon as they obliterate the 2nd, they’ll go full speed on the rest.
The DESPERATE RADICALIZED DemoKKKrat National Communist party members and many RINOs are losing their minds. They have negated, abandoned their OATH OF OFFICE.
These CONs, who have NO HONOR, in the current CONgress need to be held accountable for LYING WHILE THE TOOK THEIR OATH OF OFFICE. These CONs MUST be PROSECUTED for this TREASONOUS behavior.
can’t remember the number but this precise method is straight out of Saul Alnksy’s Rules forRadicals. divide into factions, then set any two or more factions against each other.
OK folks. This piece of trash is null from the outset. The best way to explain this to your listeners is to refer to cases addressing ‘Jim Crow’ style ordinances that attempt to suppress any enumerated Constitutional right. Here is a great example of how courts have dealt with it in the past: Murdoch v. Pennsylvania: https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/319/105/ Jim Crow laws are directed at a vilified class and deny the free and uninfringed exercise of a natural right. That is what we have here. Requiring fees and other ‘jumps through the hoop’ to exercise those rights which are inherent in our… Read more »
Blatant disregard for the Constitution.
Government is to serve us, not rule us.
The shackling of Freedom.
Democrats in D.C. are quickly getting to the placing the last straw on the camels back. Would not even want to put on paper the possibility of what may happen should they attempt to try the unthinkable on America.
They are already doing the unthinkable. Where in hell have you been? They stole the election beyond a doubt. Ten Republicans jumped ship and want to impeach Trump who is now a private citizen and every main stream media is lying through there teeth to the public every day and night. They are taking free speech away every single day and hour of the week. Our churches are forced to be closed while liqueur store is open and every person on the planet is made to wear a mask and we now have another FRAUD in the White House SO… Read more »
Any gun owner who voted for Biden, this is exactly what you asked for.
Ah, but the rest of us didn’t.
Thx for reading AMMOLAND
The Congresswoman is welcome to come on down and enforce her traitorous law with me.
The Speaker of the House and Majority leader of the Senate, shall at the start of each new session read the Bill of rights. Further each member shall be required to repeat their Oath of office, and sign a copy of the Bill of rights and that oath, it should then be posted for view by the public. Failure to sign shall be grounds for termination. This is the only contract that should be honored by all members.
Sheila cain’t hep it, that wig is too small and it has denied her already deficient brain of the necessary blood supply to function at even an idiot level. Poor girl.
I am embarrassed, not only is Jackson Lee from Texas, but her district in Houston elected her.
Don’t suppose there is some mechanism allowing us to deport her and all her supporters to some place more suitable – such as NYC or smell-A?
Had this come NY or CA – I could almost believe it is an effort to trigger Texit as it is so farcically extreme.
Houston has been going the way of Austin for about 20 years or more.
Austin went from “weird” to down right Stupid !
Well Biden is wanting Unity and I guess he is going to get it. WITH China and all the other communist countries that he has promised to get back in bed with; along with our tax dollars for the Global Good and the good of the politicans pocket books.
“Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.”
What guns? I don’t have any guns.
You do know, I’m sure, that to lie to the Government or it’s FBI is a felony subject to month’s of torture and financial depletion by goon’s paid by your tax money with no budget limits.
if they find even ONE gun, then they’ve got you for lying to them. Something they do with impunity will put us behind bars for years. If/when they come for yours, simply tell them you will not respond to any questions beyond your basic identiy whichthey already know cause they came to see YOU. Then sit down and shut up. IF they find anything, you are not a liar, If they don;t you still arent. but they can’t prosecute either way. Learn to think like gummit stooges. They hold almost all the marbles. That Fifth Article of Ammendment is almost… Read more »
Never !!!
We should SUPPORT this bill! It would be a great way to get rid of all of the anti-gunners. You just register your weapons as being owned by your anti-gunner of choice. Then get “caught” and say they loaned you the firearm, didn’t he/she fill out the proper paperwork/form? If not, they should be prosecuted. Win-win.
Enough is enough. Trump can’t fix it, regardless of how many people want to vote in 2 years for him/his recommended picks, cuz Trump does not control the voting machine software.
We thought Trump could get it done, and he failed. We’ll just have to do it ourselves.
We need to cut the heads off the snakes – start where you live, you know a snake when you see it. And we’ll find out whose side LE and the military are on.
Why not get the guns out of the high crime areas in our major cities before trying to disarm law abiding cities who only want to protect themselves and their families from the scum ths
Instead of imposing yet more gun control, why not arrest, convict, incarcerate (and not release early), habitual violent criminals?
They need violent crime. Without violent crime, they have no justification for never-ending gun control (which has nothing to do with crime).
In 2020, just in Chicago (and mainly in certain neighborhoods): There were 792 homicides (719 of whom died from GSWs) There were 4,174 people shot (3,455 survived) 55 of those killed were children Those numbers all go into the Moms Demand Action stats, but they never talk about these specific deaths. That’s because for less than 2% of the murders and non-negligence homicides in Chicago is the perpetrator arrested, convicted, and actually spends a meaningful amount of time incarcerated. If you isolate the murders and non-negligent homicides in the most violent of those neighborhoods and divide by the population of… Read more »
Hmmm. I wonder just what could be the mitigating factors responsible for that set of facts. I suppose we’ll never know………
A significant percentage of Americans will believe whatever they are told that is in-line with their feelings:
The facts are available with a few strokes of the keyboard, but people want to believe certain things and they are reluctant to change their view. Some even take great joy in wallowing in their ignorance.
Well Bob, Let’s say that you live in a high crime area but you can’t afford to move. Should we take your arms away from you so you can’t defend yourself??? The Constitution is for all of us not just you and those that can afford to live elsewhere.
Psychological evaluation- Have you ever thought about banging your mother, father, brother or sister? If so, did you bang your mother, father, brother or sister? If so, did you enjoy it? Did you ever think about torturing animals? If yes, did you torture any animal? If yes, did you enjoy torturing animals? A question that should be added is – Are you confused with the gender you were born with? I had to take a psychological evaluation for a job once and those first 2 were actually on the test. I asked the lady if anyone was ignorant enough to… Read more »
All people of Congress and the Senate at the beginning of each session, the Speaker of the House shall read the Bill of rights & repeat the Oath
of office all members shall be required to sign a copy of the Oath. It shall then be posted in plain view to the public. This is the only contract with America that is legal. Refusing to sign shall be grounds for termination.
Attention: Joe Biden, Beto O’Rourke, Nanny Pelosi, Chuckie Schumer and all other Communist Pigs who currently work for the Federal Government. Please be careful with this legislation. You may not live to regret it. If this POS legislation becomes law, the BATF-Nazis will be required to enforce it. That will mandate that Federally-Ordained Thugs show up at the front doors, of over 100 million, legal, American gun owners. Please keep in mind: Most of us could care less about AR-15s. Those are just average caliber weapons. Most Americans own high-powered hunting rifles. These weapons do NOT fire rubber bullets, or… Read more »
SO we’re second class citizens? we’re a minority ergo we are due EXTRA protection from government largess.
