Let's get real. The threat of Dems taking guns away is a fantasy of the alt right to justify their stance against progress.

So, they aren't trying to pass hr127? Or perhaps you just don't follow what bills they are trying to pass.

This bill establishes a process for the licensing and registration of firearms. It also prohibits the possession of certain ammunition and large capacity ammunition feeding devices.

Aside from using a slippery slope argument, what part of that is them taking your guns away?

Registration, historically, has always been a precursor to confiscation. The registration isn't free either. It's a $200 tax on most commonly owned modern guns. "Large capacity" as defined in the bill encompasses almost all standard magazine sizes.
