Senate Democrats Push Bill That Could Prevent Churches From Having Armed Security
by AWR Hawkins
Senator Edward Markey (D-MA) is pushing legislation that could prevent churches around the country from using a “security services unit” comprised of concealed carriers in congregations, parishes, etc.
The bill is the Preventing Private Military Act of 2024, and it is co-sponsored by Senator Laphonza Butler (D-CA).
The text of the bill prohibits “acting as part of or on behalf of a private paramilitary organization and armed with a firearm, explosive or incendiary device, or other dangerous weapon.”
In another portion of the bill, the text provides circumstances that qualify as an action that is prohibited and includes the use of “large capacity ammunition feeding devices,” which is leftist speak for magazines that hold more than ten rounds.
Protestia sounded the alarm over the bill, suggesting it “would make it illegal to ‘publicly patrol, drill, or engage in techniques capable of causing bodily injury or death.’”
Texas church hero Jack Wilson says that Michael Bloomberg’s gun controls would have rendered congregants defenseless on the day of the church attack. https://t.co/4G05Mhuwxl
