Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan, offered vocal opponent criticism of the bill, arguing it would impede the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty under the court of law.

"If we pass this bill today, we are going to invert the standard and say, 'you are guilty until proven innocent, and you will be guilty without doing anything wrong.' Under this bill, you are guilty without doing anything wrong simply because someone thinks you might do something wrong," Jordan said on the House floor on Tuesday

Jordan also argued the bill offers a vague definition for who is allowed to petition the court to allow gun confiscation.


"A roommate who hung out with you for one month last year can go petition a court to take away your Second Amendment liberties. Some roommate maybe didn't like you, thought you were a slob, whatever, can go petition the court to take away your fundamental right without you doing anything wrong," He said. "And oh, guess what? When they go in the court to take away your fundamental liberty even though you haven't done anything, committed no crime, guess what? You don't even get to be there; you don't even get to defend yourself."

In Massachusetts, a waitress overheard an 84yr old war veterans conversation criticizing a local school resource officer for leaving his post to get coffee, etc, and making the school vulnerable to school shootings... all the waitress heard was "shoot up the school" and called the police. The veteran then lost his "firearms license", had his firearms confiscated, was forced to sell those firearms, and lost his job. His job has been reinstated, but his reputation is ruined and he still can't own firearms.

This is what will happen on a national basis if the senate and POTUS don't stand up to the pressure to "do something".

This is really no surprise as the committee is controlled by dems, of which 99.99% of who would/do support outright gun confiscation.
