Democrat U.S. Senator Chris Coons is at it again. While Americans focus on the SAVE America Act, anti-gun Democrats in Washington are quietly trying to hijack the bill with a backdoor gun control amendment that strikes directly at your Second Amendment rights.
What This Amendment Actually Does
Coons’ Amendment 4655 would effectively outlaw nearly all private firearm sales and transfers in the United States. Under this proposal, you would no longer be free to sell, gift, or transfer a firearm to another law-abiding citizen without federal government involvement.
Instead, nearly every transfer would be forced through a federally licensed dealer. That means:
- Government paperwork
- Permanent records
- Federal oversight of private transactions
Coons’ amendment states: “It shall be unlawful…to transfer a firearm…unless a licensed dealer has first taken possession of the firearm.”
In plain English, it’s the same universal gun registration scheme that Texas Gun Rights has been warning Texans about for years. This creates a paper trail for nearly every firearm transfer in America — the exact foundation needed for a national gun registry.
And gun owners know what comes next.
Registration Leads to Confiscation
History is clear. Gun registration has always been the precursor to confiscation. Always. And this amendment pushes the United States one step closer to that reality, all under the false banner of “common sense.”
Law-Abiding Gun Owners Are the Target
Criminals won’t follow this law.
- They won’t use FFLs.
- They won’t file paperwork.
- They won’t ask permission.
Coons’ amendment doesn’t stop crime. It targets you, the law-abiding gun owner. It could even create legal gray areas for temporary transfers between friends or family, turning responsible Americans into criminals overnight.
The Gun Confiscation Agenda Is Escalating
This is how the gun confiscation lobby operates. They don’t always come for your rights all at once. They chip away one amendment, one restriction, one “small step” at a time, hoping gun owners don’t notice until it’s too late.
But Texas Gun Rights is paying attention.
