The first section is a federal licensing requirement which raises the required age to be able to purchase a firearm to 21.
No other right enumerated in the Bill of Rights has a licensing requirement.
1A: You do not need a license to print a newspaper, write a blog online, speak in public, open a church, attend church, peaceably assemble, or petition the government. There are some city ordinances that require permits for marches or large gatherings. Whether they are constitutional is debatable, but they don't require every individual attending the march or gathering to have a permit.
3A: Don't need a license in order to reject housing soldiers on your property without consent.
4A: Don't need a license to be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures.
5A: No license needed to not testify against yourself, to require indictment by grand jury, be free from double jeopardy, or be compensated when the government takes your property.
6A: No license required for a speedy trial, the right to a lawyer, jury trial, knowing your accusers, knowing the charges against you, or compelling witnesses to testify as part of your defense.
7A: No license required to assert a trial by jury in a civil case.
8A: No license needed to not be executed by the State in a cruel or unusual way or to be free of excessive bail or fines.
9A: We've so far lost the fight that the people hold all rights not enumerated in the Constitution and its Amendments, but there's no license needed to try and retain them.
10A: Broad interpretation of the Interstate Commerce Clause in Article 1 Section 8 has combined with the Civil War, the 14th Amendment, and Incorporation Doctrine to all but eliminate States' rights.
When you examine the facts above, it becomes clear how ridiculous the restrictions we already have on our 2nd Amendment rights. There's more nonsense in the bill including them being able to take your firearms from you until after trial based on the low standard of a "preponderance of the evidence".
Get out and exercise your rights pedes. If you don't own a firearm, find a friend and/or take a class from your local firearm store. Call your congress-critters and tell them to oppose HR 5717 (links below).

In today's climate - that bill (and its Senate counterpart) are going no where...
I think it's still important to let your representative know how you felt about their vote and to let your Senators know how you expect them to vote when it comes up there.
A thousand times, YES!!!!
There were several posts months ago about this bill. I've posted these arguments against the bill because it just passed the House yesterday, 2020-07-21
