So HR8 has passed the house. Now we have to do our part to ensure that it does NOT pass the Senate. I have identified what I consider weak points in the armor. Mitt Romney on the Republican side and John Tester on the Democrat side. Tester has stated he supports the right to bear arms, but his party does not. And Romney has a shaky reputation on the 2nd Amendment. So lets contact both of these Senators and let them know we do not approve of HR-8. One thing to mention is that HR-8 could turn a person into a felon just for loaning a rifle to a friend and the government has not business in private person to person transactions. Also, if you live in Arizona you may want to consider e-mailing Sinema's office as well. If enough people hit her up and express opposition she may vote against it, not holding my breath but its worth a go.

Senator Mitt Romney: Go to this page to send him a message https://www.romney.senate.gov/contact-senator-romney.
Senator Krysten Sinema: https://www.sinema.senate.gov/contact-kyrsten
I would advise being respectful and articulating the effects this bill would have on lawful gun owners, things like how it would criminalize individuals who just loan out their firearms to friends, or how transactions of lawful items between consenting adults should not be criminalized.
If anyone here has any other senators that may be shaky on the issue, post their contact here so we can flood them with our messages of disapproval of HR8
