At this point in time, it is already illegal for a felon to own or posses a firearm of any sort. This is well known among felons, as well as the general population. I believe H.R.2401 will bring significant portions of the general citizenry to the level of felons in the eyes of the US government and those state governments that submit to it. (Yeah, that was a bit of a reference to the 10th Amendment…) By doing this, citizens that have not been charged with a crime, much less convicted, will be punished. Not only is it a punishment, it is a violation of any citizens Second Amendment rights that happen to be on the “no fly list” and should be shot down before it ever sees the light of day.

Another point against this bill besides the whole part about it being illegal and outside of the scope of government.

At this exact point in time, there are 77,982 people on the no fly list that is published at a non government website. (I am not going to mention the site due to the fact that the information from it can not be verified at the moment. Lets just take it as an example of what may be correct.) The exact composition of nationalities that make up the list are not currently available to me, but for the sake of the article, lets assume 20% are US citizens for now. That leaves 15,596 citizens that are currently not able to fly on any commercial airplane for some unknown reason. If this bill passes, that means that those 15,596 CITIZENS would not be able to purchase a firearm in the US any more. An obviously illegal step considering the Second Amendment still happens to be an active portion of our Constitution.

There is even more to those numbers though. How many people in the US have the name of Daniel Brown, or Robert Johnson, or David Nelson? What about the host of other names on the list that are probably shared by hundreds of thousands of people in the nation? Are we willing to forgo their rights as well?

There is no big twist when it comes to H.R.2401. It is very simple. In fact, the total size of the bill is only 2 pages long. It doesn’t require a speed reader to dedicate a week of their time to read it like H.R.3200 does. In fact, it only took me about 30 seconds.

The point of this article is simply to let everyone know that H.R.2401 is an illegal bill the second it passes. It strikes down the Constitutional rights of citizens without a felony conviction. I HIGHLY suggest you contact your Representatives to let them know that this bill will be illegal the second it passes and should be fought against with every tooth, nail, or stand of hair they have left. Considering the average age of Congress, I would think they might be running out of teeth and hair, so make sure you hurry! We can’t allow this abomination of a bill to become law.
