Jordan Davidson writes at The Federalist:
Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, the same congresswoman who incorrectly claimed AR-15 rifles require .50 caliber ammunition and are “as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving,” already introduced one piece of legislation targeting the gun industry and legal firearm users with the hopes of enacting sweeping gun control measures.
While the “Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act” seeks to outlaw ammunition of .50 caliber or greater and require gun owners to pay for insurance, take a government training course, federally register their firearms, and obtain several licenses to merely display an antique firearm in their home, the bill currently has no sponsors and does not appear to have gained traction with any of the congresswoman’s Democratic colleagues.
