Democrats are racing toward gun control once again

From the moment we arrived in Congress this January, the Left has been trying to take away members’ constitutional rights. And if Democrats are doing this in Congress, just imagine what they want to do to everyday people.

Then again, we don’t need to imagine. House Democrats have just passed still more failed gun control legislation to restrict our Second Amendment rights and trample on the Constitution. By mandating universal background checks, the so-called “Bipartisan Background Checks Act” would effectively create a national firearm registry, allowing the government to target gun owners.

This bill, if it ever became law, would criminalize common exchanges of firearms. It would make it illegal for a farmer to lend a rifle to a neighbor trying to protect his cattle from wolves, for a homeowner to let her neighbor borrow a firearm following a break-in, for a collector to donate a historic rifle to a museum, and for parents to gift a gun to their child.
