How about HR 1022 - Gives power to the Attorney General to ban weapons of his choice.

As far as I can tell, and I check pretty much daily, no similar bill has yet been filed in the new, 111th, Congress.

There is a bill that would require registration of all handguns and all semiautomatics with removable magazines. It would also require a license to posses them, and would require you to provide a thumbprint in order to obtain that license, You would also have to take a test, one which Eric Holder would be allowed to make as difficult as he wished. It would make it a crime to not report the loss or theft of any firearm within 72 hours, or to not report a change of address of someone with a such a license within 60 days. In both cases the report would be to the Attorney General. It's HR 45, and the sponsor is former Illinois Black Panther leader, Bobby Rush. Obama's Congressman, also Bill Ayer's Congressman.

The danger is how swiftly the democRats are trying to run their agenda through. They could slip something in a 400 page bill and ram it through hoping nobody has a chance to read and discover, and then organize opposition.

Thats the danger, a midnight amendment without debate.
Can’t trust the commies.
In fact, I NEVER trust commies.
