Gun control by secrecy.

Very Important for you to be aware of a new bill HR 45 introduced into the House.
This is the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009.
We just learned yesterday about this on the Peter Boyles radio program.
Even gun shop owners didn't know about this because it is flying under the radar.
To find out about this - go to any government website and type in HR 45 or Google HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009. You will get all the information.
Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm - any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless:
It is registered, You are fingerprinted, You supply a current Driver's License
You supply your Social Security #

You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing

Each update - change or ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25 - Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail.
There is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a child-access provision. Gun must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18.
They would have the right to come and inspect that you are storing your gun safely away from accessibility to children and fine is punishable for up to 5 yrs. in prison.
If you think this is a joke - go to the website and take your pick of many options to read this. It is long and lengthy. But, more and more people are becoming aware of this. Pass the word along. Any hunters in your family - pass this along.
Peter Boyles is on this and having guests. Listen to him on KHOW 630 a.m. in the morning. He suggests the best way to fight this is to tell all your friends about it and "spring into action". Also he suggests we all join a pro-gun group like the Colorado Rifle Association, hunting associations, gun clubs and especially the NRA.
This is just a "termite" approach to complete confiscation of guns and disarming of our society to the point we have no defense - chip away a little here and there until the goal is accomplished before anyone realizes it. (Did Obama promise transparency? It seems his motives are more and more transparent while his methods are hidden in back rooms.)
This is one to act on whether you own a gun or not.
If you take my gun, only the criminals will have one to use against me. HR 45 only makes me/us less safe. After working with convicts for 26 years I know this bill, if passed, would make them happy and in less danger from their victims.

Unfortunately this is true. http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/blairholt.asp verifies it is NOT a hoax.

Passage unlikely

As alarming as this is, there is no co-sponsor of the bill. The article on Snopes confirms that this is real but in the final three paragraphs makes a cogent analysis on the likelihood of the passage of the bill.

It is a good indicator of the times. The assaults on the 2nd Amendment rights will pick up speed and will increase in frequency and intensity. My opinion and worth what you paid for it.

The bill has been referred to committee, it is not being voted on. As it has no amendments or other sponsors and Bobby Rush is an idiot without much pull it is most likely not a real bill, more of a "stunt".

But, if your inclined to write any letters.

Judiciary committee members.

Rep. Lamar Smith [R-TX] (A+ NRA rating)

Rep. Frederick Boucher [D-VA] (A+ NRA)

Rep. Howard Berman [D-CA] (F NRA)

Guys, too many blue dog democrats that come from pro gun states. Even Pelosi and Reid have come out against Holder's Assault gun ban and Pelosi just stated that the current laws should be enforced not new laws made.

Does this mean we should ignore, no but it also means to not get shrill as that can make pro gun personnel look fanatical and not completely sane.

The NRA/ILA has been tracking this. Theirs is a good web-site to follow such issues at both state and federal levels if you are so inclined.
