Back on January 30, Democratic backed H.R. 5717: Gun Violence Prevention and Community Safety Act of 2020 was introduced attacking 2nd Amendments rights maybe more severely than ever.
I'm having trouble finding stories on this except from pro-gun websites, so keep that in mind if you visit the links I'm posting. And please post if you find a story from a mainstream media source.
Personally, I can't believe this wouldn't be struck down as unconstitutional pretty damn quick. If you tried to institute these same requirements for voting, exercising free speech, or any other constitutional right, people would rightly freak out as it would spell the end of our relatively free society.
So, now people understand why gun owners don't believe it when we hear the words "we don't want to ban all guns, stop overreacting." No, dems want to maintain gun rights for those who are wealthy enough to jump through the hoops to get one. And who are well place enough to have their licences and permits approved.
Elitism at it's finest.

"Title I creates a Federal license for guns and for ammunition. In other words, you will have to be licensed in order to own a firearm or bullets.
Title II creates “universal background checks” and requires a 7 day waiting period as well as a required reporting of any denials.
Title III requires a person to be 21 years of age to possess or purchase a firearm, unless they are a member of the US military or are on a ranch or farm. Those who commit misdemeanor domestic violations will now be barred from firearms purchase or possession. Secure gun storage and/or gun lock devices will be required for all gun owners of both handguns and rifles…and the rules for them are stringent. It expands the gun free zones for ALL schools and colleges, flying in the face of state laws that have removed the gun free zone designations.
Title IV establishes grants for states that pass red flag laws and creates a Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order.
Title V creates a ban on nearly all semi-automatic rifles and any large magazines, as well as “ghost guns.” There is a prohibition on possession of suppressors and other accessories. It also bans home builds for any weapons.
Title VI prohibits the sale of multiple firearms, limiting each person to one firearm per month.
Title VII requires dealers to keep records of firearms sales and institute “security” requirements.
Title VIII increased the excise tax on firearms to 30% and ammunition to 50%.
Title IX creates a community grant program for gun violence intervention, and funds for research."
