Assault Weapons Ban Could Return

Assault Weapons Ban Could Return... ...

• Here's what you need to know.

House bill H.R. 1022, the most aggressive gun control ban yet, has now reached subcommittee. If passed, H.R. 1022 would reinstate the 1994 assault weapons ban, but with a much wider reach.

H.R. 1022 would not simply restrict sales of our weapons and magazines to "pre-ban" items, but would instead stop all trade regardless if item was pre-ban or not. Stiff penalties and jail time await those who produce or transfer guns that are currently protected by the Second Amendment. H.R. 1022 stops only one step short of government seizures and collections.

Luckily these infringements on your Second Amendment rights can be avoided by letting your congressman know of your discontent. Give them a call, send them an email, or fax them a letter, but let your voice be heard. A complete list of local congressmen can be found here.
