Hello fellow 2nd amendment advocates, While we are distracted with COVID/19, the House will try to pass a VERY restrictive gun control bill. A 30 % tax on all guns and a 50% tax on all ammunition and the worst part is you MUST have a Federal license to carry, own and shoot gun you already own. Like you, I have CCW’s issued by the State but now must apply for a Federal license or we will become felons. We must encourage our Representatives to vote NO! ---

Well, it’s good odds I’m not going to get traction with my Representative for H.R. 5717, Mr. Hank Johnson, 4th of Georgia, is the Sponsor of Record. Anyone have a name(s) of an other(s) in the House who would be receptive to someone not in their district who has an opinion? (Someone, not The Speaker? I’ll let her know my mind, but unless I can convince on budget it’s not looking good.) ---
