Washington D.C. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) sent a letter to the United States Senate Judiciary Committee informing it that abrogating fundamental rights are not within its purview.
“I write you today on behalf of the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), a non-profit organization that promotes maximal individual liberty and sound public policy through litigation, research, education, grassroots outreach, and direct advocacy regardingH.R. 1808, the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2022,” and the policies contained therein. FPC Law, the nation’s first and largest public interest legal team focused on the right to keep and bear arms, and the leader in the Second Amendment litigation and research space, has reviewed H.R. 1808 and found it to be grossly violative of the rights of the People protected under the United States Constitution. FPC thus strongly opposes H.R 1808 on its merits and rejects its contempt for the natural rights of the People….”
FPC’s letter spotlights the arrogance and immorality of attempts to vote away fundamental rights away from the People.
“For a legislative body to suppose that it can abrogate the human rights of the very people that delegate limited, enumerated powers to it is the height of conceit. Especially following the United States Supreme Court decision of N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen… to even propose such a measure is to show unbridled recalcitrance and disrespect to the People the Congress serves. And to consider this legislation, which would if enacted, increase state violence by orders of magnitude and put peaceable people in government cages for exercising their rights, is an act of tyranny. We urge you to terminate this awful and contemptible legislation.”

Amen! More reasons to vote responsibly in Nov, and to guard against voter fraud!
Within its purview or not, voting away rights seems to be the legislative, as well as the bought and paid for public initiative system, norm when it comes to the RKBA.
Sure, it can be litigated and hopefully rescinded, but how much time will have passed? Given enough time, a large amount (if not a majority) of people will believe an unconstitutional “law” is valid and that the removal is the problem, no matter how just the removal.
In the mean time rights will be suppressed with the supressors simply piling more and more upon the backs of the public.
The elite in power continue to degrade our civil rights to wield more power using the democrats as their junkyard dogs. Hunter Biden joined his dad on an Air Force One flight to South Carolina Wednesday for a family vacation.
Very disturbing
I’m sure they’ll back off IMMEDIATELY!
Not.
even if they pass this legislation, it will have no effect on me. i will just become a criminals and criminals do not follow the law.
Excellent.
These degenerates in gov who corrupt the country and habitually violate the Constitution have no authority to rescind our rights, and it is our duty to rebel and expel them from their posts.
