*H.R. 127 would ban common types of ammunition, including every shotgun shell larger than .410.
*The bill states: “It shall be unlawful for any person to possess ammunition that is 0.50 caliber or greater.”
*Violations of this ban would result in the imposition of a fine of at least $50,000 and imprisonment of at least 10 years, mandatory penalties not seen in many violent or infamous federal crimes, including torturing someone to death outside the U.S. or committing treason during wartime.
*Hunting whitetail deer with guns would be legally impossible in at least 10 U.S. states if these restrictions went into effect. (Due to certain gun/caliber restrictions etc. in various states. TFG is investigating this point for a future article)
*Innumerable numbers of shotgun shells currently possessed by law-abiding people for lawful purposes would suddenly become contraband.
*As with its ban on shotgun shells, H.R.127’s magazine ban would apply retroactively, affecting items already owned by millions of Americans for lawful purposes, with no compensation for owners forced to relinquish property that was lawful when obtained.
