This bill has been in the wind since January. It has little support and essentially zero chance of passing.
Every year congress critters introduce all sorts of things that die. Dempublicans introduce sweeping gun control measures. Republocrats try to outlaw abortion. It gets them brownie points with their radical constituencies.
It also gets videos lots of hits on YouTube.
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

Looks like there's a clone bill in the Senate introduced by Warren.
Sent this to Chabot, Portman, and Brown (modifying 5717 to 3254)
Steve,
As your constituent, you need to know that I'm a veteran small business owner who had to halt work during the OH Dept. of Health order, and as I'm not eligible for unemployment I found work at the gun store for the 3rd time in my life. I'm seeing a huge amount of folks scared with potential martial law, and these are almost all first time buyers. I'm a white male, and I'm a minority when it comes to the ethnicities and genders of folks that I've sold guns to since Saturday.
One of them mentioned this bill, HR 5717, to me yesterday evening. This is a nightmare, and needs to be killed quickly. In the words of a young black male and his wife, "the only reason to tax another 30% on guns and 50% on ammo is because they don't want us to have them."
They are correct. The tensions I'm seeing in the real world are not between the citizenry these days. It's a strong distrust of the government, and a lot of people realizing that the second amendment is about a violent overthrow of the government. We need to prevent bloodshed, and stopping gun control actions is statistically the best step towards that measure.
