House Democrats Prepare 8 Gun Control Bills: Bump Stocks, 'Ghost Guns,' Higher Legal Purchas

• https://www.breitbart.com, WENDELL HUSEBO

The package, dubbed, "Protecting Our Kids," includes eight bills designed to erode citizens' Second Amendment rights.

Reportedly included in the massive gun control package are provisions to ban high-capacity magazines, increase the purchase age of semi-automatics from 18 to 21, ban bump stocks for civilian use while requiring existing bump stocks to be registered with the government, change the definition of "ghost guns" so they fall under background checks at point of sale, increase penalties for gun trafficking, and mandate how Americans store firearms in their homes.

According to Punchbowl News, the bill's names and sponsors are:

The Raise the Age Act (H.R. 3015, Rep. Anthony Brown of Maryland)

Prevent Gun Trafficking Act (H.R. 2280, Rep. Robin Kelly of Illinois)

The Untraceable Firearms Act (H.R. 3088, Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island)

Ethan's Law (H.R. 748, Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut) 

The Safe Guns, Safe Kids Act (H.R. 6370, Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan) 

The Kimberly Vaughan Firearm Safe Storage Act (H.R. 130, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas)

Closing the Bump Stock Loophole Act (H.R. 5427, Rep. Dina Titus of Nevada)

The Keep Americans Safe Act (H.R. 2510, Rep. Ted Deutch of Florida)

It seems likely the Democrats in the House may have enough votes to pass the package. A vote will reportedly be held next week on the litany of bills. If the package narrowly passes the House, it will move to the Senate, where it must survive a 60-vote, filibuster-proof threshold to pass the deliberative body.
