vman59 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Subject: House Bill HR45Are you ready for the House Bill titled 'HR 45, Blair Holt Licensing andRecord Act of 2009'. It will make it illegal to own a firearm unless it isregistered with the database in Washington D.C. As a gun owner you willhave to be finger printed, you will be required to provide your DL#, SS#,you must maintain a valid address at all times, submit to mental andphysical health records being put on file, you will also be required tofile any address changes and any ownership changes even if a private sale.Each update will cost $25 and if you fail to comply you will lose yourright to own firearms. This bill and its language mirror almost completelyone defeated last year in the House of Representatives by soon to be Chiefof Staff Rahm Emanuel. Will we the citizenry be as lucky this time?Pass this on to everyone who believes in strict Constitutionalism andremember that laws only apply to those who obey them. Criminals bydefinition and nature do not abide by laws. New laws and restrictions onlyapply to the law abiding citizen and are not written with the criminal inmind. With guns, it is not about having laws on the books to prosecuteindividuals, it is about taking guns away from the people so that no onehas them in the first place. One last item to note, when assuming powerand creating a facist state, Hitler was a proponent of strong gun lawsbecause a disarmed populace was much easier to control than an armed one.The kings of old also outlawed weapons of any kind in any region that theyconquered to quell the ability of the citizens to uprise against them.The Founding Fathers of this nation understood all of the above andbecause of this they included the second amendment in the constitution. Infact, they knew that at some point in every society's life span that theneed for the population to arise came about.. To this end they made theright to keep and bear arms against a tyrannical state an absolute rightthat could not be revoked. They did this because the first thing tyrantsand despots do is to remove a population's right to defend themselves.When this is done, the tyrants have no problem with the destruction ofsociety as we know it.Protect your Second Amendment!

PmDavis300 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 anyone know if this has any chance of passing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironrangegemneye Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 This is the Bill that was discussed in this weeks Outdoor News. My blood was really boiling after reading what someone actually thought was a good way of going about getting guns off the street. The only people who would register are the honest ones and some hunters. The people committing the crimes are not going to register their guns and provide all that information. The people who wrote this bill are living in la la land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 This is another example of why I belong to the NRA. I do not always agree with what they want to do but, they do go to battle with the govermant against all this gun control. A simple $25.00 annually can go a long ways in protecting ones gun rights.I agree this is nothing to laugh at as it could get passed. Forget the scare tactics, it will be to late to do anything when the l;aw is passed.Call your reps now and let them know how you feel at a minimum.

WaitForIt Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'd rather pay the NRA $25 than to Washington for a pointless gun registration... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
