HR 45 -- Gun Rights Licensing Test

[right winger]

This is from Gun Laws.Com

Here come the gun grabbers. It is time to take action.

Call,Write and email your Represenative in the U.S.House.

With Eric Holder as Attorney General gun owners are in trouble.

Illinois congressman Bobby Rush, from Obama's home state and with a voting record on gun ownership as bad as Obama's, introduced a bill on the first day of the 111th Congress that shows what we can expect.

If we don't defeat this bill, and others expected to follow it, gun owners will lose guns and the industry will suffer harm beyond description.

Under HR 45, if you can't pass a complex test written by the U.S. Attorney General (described in detail below), pay the tax, give up fingerprints and a biometric-capable photo of yourself (that can be turned into a digital facial-recognition number and used as a de facto national ID), every gun you own will become contraband and subject to confiscation, while you stand trial before imprisonment.

You'd think Bobby, a former black panther, would know better.
Your rights will have an expiration date, and if you screw up and miss it, you'll be in the same mess as people who can't pass the test. Can you say "unconstitutional"? Do you think these "gun bigots" care?

Now that the Supreme Court has made it clear in the Heller case that government can't ban guns, the Brady's have stopped saying they want to ban guns.

So the virtually treasonous Bobby Rush bill doesn't ban guns, it bans gun owners, maybe by the millions.

How many gun owners read poorly or don't test well?

How many can't explain local, state and federal gun laws?

They'd become prohibited possessors under HR 45. Are there any limits to what the AG can put on the test?

The bill doesn't mention any -- it gives the AG a free hand to include anything.

Had enough? HR 45 has an innocent-looking line that says 'strike the second sentence of 18 USC 926(a)'. That's the line that says the federal government cannot make a central registry of gun owners.

The anti-rights people have to repeal that line, because Bobby's bill flat-out creates a central gun registry. Every gun owner must be registered to keep on possessing the guns they already own, and any transfer of any kind must be registered as well. The mark of the beast is upon us, to apply a metaphor.

Our old blacksmith once claimed California was "The largest open-air squirrel cage on earth".
It seems the Land of Lincoln is vying for that title -
