Grouped By Vote Position

Within this gun control Senate bill S.649, is language which turns ordinary gun owners into felons.

NRO explains:

You can make a “bona fide gift” (but not a three-hour loan) to
certain close family members, not including aunts, uncles, nieces,
nephews, in-laws, or civil-union partners.

You can let someone else borrow your gun for up to seven days, but
only within your home or its curtilage (e.g., the porch or deck).

You cannot lend your gun to someone on any open space you own. And
even your husband can’t borrow your gun for more than seven days.

You can share a gun at a shooting range, but only if the shooting
range is owned by a corporation — not if it’s on public lands or on your
own property.

You can share a gun while out hunting in the field. But back at the hunting camp, you can’t clean someone else’s gun.

This is not “gun control” in the constitutionally legitimate sense:
reasonable laws that protect public safety without interfering with the
responsible ownership and use of firearms.

The saving grace for Second Amendment supporters, as explained by The Hill, is the GOP controlled House of Representatives:

Any new gun restrictions are likely to face significant, if not wholesale, opposition among House Republicans.
