After a bipartisan bill was passed in the Senate in the wake of mass school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, the bill allowing more gun reform passed in the House last night is now on it’s when to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law.
This bill increases background checks even further, makes it more difficult for domestic violence offenders to obtain a firearm, and adds additional programs to keep guns out of the hands of people the state deems ‘too dangerous;’ along with $15 billion allocated to mental health and improved school security.
USA Today added. ‘The legislation will provide grants to every state as an incentive to adopt “red flag” laws, which allow courts to remove firearms from those deemed a threat to themselves or others. States that do not enact red flag laws may use the money for other crisis-prevention programs. Senators also approved expanded background checks on gun buyers 21 and younger to include their mental health and juvenile justice records. The legislation forces a waiting period of 10 business days for the seller and authorities to complete the review.’
The legislation that Senator Cornyn and our colleagues assembled protects the Second Amendment. There are no new bans, mandates, or waiting periods for law-abiding citizens of any age. What the bill does contain are commonsense solutions that are overwhelmingly popular with lawful gun owners, such as adding juvenile criminal records and mental health issues into the background check system. It also provides significant new funding for mental health in schools.

Supreme Court Rules Gun Owners Can Carry Their Weapons In Public
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
Ecclesiastes 5:8
With such broad wording in this bill as usual, the gun-grabs will only increase; not like Yertle the Turtle Mitch McConnell who acts like this is a nothing-burger.
Some of you may recall I did a report last year warning that the non-vaxxed could get placed on a no-fly list, which means that equates to not being able to purchase a firearm anymore. This bill could could cause that to come into effect. Read more about it below:
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Then, how about a crossbow?
So supply chain manipulation neutering the Supreme Court ruling on a right we already had, and undermining endrun ‘laws’ like this also applied to the ‘big Supreme Court victory’…..and who will be openly carrying? And have ammo?

David killed a lion, bear and a giant with a sling & some rocks. Samson killed a thousand Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. Judges 15. And, then there comes that point when living in this dying wicked world just isn’t worth it. Live, preach, warn, nurture, teach, protect, defend, stand in the Lord’s power …and his grace will be sufficient for whatever we must face; if we can just mortify that flesh & watch, fighting the good fight of faith. The time of our sojourning in tolerant, grateful Egypt seems to be about over, & the new Pharoah who doesn’t know Joseph is in the wings. Schwaub and the corporatists are connected with both Rome & the deceived idolatrous humanist Jews, as well as every other antichrist cult going.
