Video Summary
In a recent video, firearm expert highlights the anti-gun amendments submitted by U.S. senator Chris Murphy to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The NDAA is a must-pass funding bill for the military that is brought up for approval annually.
Chris Murphy, a prominent anti-gun senator from Connecticut, has submitted three amendments to the NDAA that seek to impose various gun control measures. These amendments, if passed, would infringe on the Second Amendment rights of military members and civilian employees of the Department of Defense.
The first amendment, SA732, focuses on firearm safety training. It calls for the establishment of minimum standards for firearm safety training for members of the Armed Forces and civilian employees of the Department of Defense. While firearm training is already mandatory for these individuals, the proposed amendment expands the training requirements to include suicide prevention, secure firearm storage methods, proficiency in firearm operation, and training on the use of locking devices. The amendment also mandates that individuals receive such training at least once every five years and prior to purchasing a firearm on Department of Defense property.
The second amendment proposed by Chris Murphy introduces waiting periods for firearm and ammunition purchases on military installations. It requires a seven-day waiting period for firearm purchases and a four-day waiting period for ammunition purchases if the firearm was bought on a military installation. This provision effectively creates a registry of firearm purchases on military bases and requires individuals to wait for ammunition purchases that match their registered firearms, even if the ammunition is intended for use off-base.
The third amendment submitted by Chris Murphy seeks to restrict the possession and storage of privately owned firearms on Department of Defense property. It prohibits the possession and storage of privately owned firearms in military barracks and dormitories and restricts the possession of privately owned firearms on Department of Defense property to individuals who live on the property. This amendment essentially strips the rights of military members and Department of Defense employees to possess and store privately owned firearms on base.
These amendments proposed by Chris Murphy have raised concerns among firearms advocates and supporters of the Second Amendment. Not only do they infringe on the rights of military members and Department of Defense employees, but they also set a dangerous precedent for further restrictions on civilian firearm ownership.
It is crucial for concerned citizens to take action and voice their opposition to these amendments. It is recommended to contact your U.S. senators and express your concerns about these proposed gun control measures. The contact number for U.S. senators is 202-224-3121, and it only takes a few minutes to make your voice heard.
In conclusion, the amendments submitted by Chris Murphy to the National Defense Authorization Act aim to impose unconstitutional gun control measures on military members and Department of Defense employees. These proposed measures include firearm safety training requirements, waiting periods for firearm and ammunition purchases, and restrictions on the possession and storage of privately owned firearms. It is important for supporters of the Second Amendment to stay informed and actively oppose these amendments to protect the rights of gun owners.
