S. 3544, the Federal Firearm Licensing Act, would make possessing a gun unlawful without Washington’s permission. Tell your U.S. Representative and Senators Fetterman and McCormick to vote hell no.
Sen. Cory Booker and a bunch of Democratic cosponsors put the Federal Firearm Licensing Act into the U.S. Senate, and no, this isn’t a little “safety” tweak. Under the bill as introduced, it’d be unlawful for you to buy, receive, or even possess a firearm without a federal firearm purchasing license, unless the attorney general decides your state’s system is “substantially similar.”
What the bill requires
Fingerprints and a background investigation.
Written test plus hands-on firing and accuracy testing.
One license, one gun, buy within 30 days, renew every five years.
Make, model, serial, seller on the application, plus seller reporting within three business days.
They also wrote in denial and revocation based on a “dangerousness” call, with court review, and procedures to take your firearms after a revocation.
That’s how you turn the Second Amendment into a permission slip.
Your right to keep what you already lawfully own would hang on staying in good standing with D.C., and every transfer would feed a reporting stream to the feds. Waiting for a big floor-vote headline is how these things quietly pick up steam in committee.
Pennsylvania Firearms Association is putting your name in front of your U.S. Representative and both of Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senators, John Fetterman and David McCormick, with one clear ask: oppose S. 3544 and vote hell no if it moves.
Tell Congress: hell no on federal firearm licensing.
If they can invent a federal license for owning a gun, they can invent the next restriction tomorrow. Put your name on this now.
For Freedom,
Chris Dorr
Executive Director
Pennsylvania Firearms Association
P.S. Booker’s already selling this like a driver’s license for guns. Tell your senators and your congressman to vote hell no.
