"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." ~ Second Amendment - The Bill of Rights
Well, one cannot be surprised to see this Bill come to the House of Representatives. When Democrats took control of congress in 2006 and began setting up their plans, waiting for a Democrat in the White House who would sign their legislation, those who were watching knew gun control would not be far behind any socialist spending spree they got away with. Now here it is: HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009. So far, this legislation is flying under the radar, and Democrats in Congress are hoping that it remains that way.
This bill is an underhanded attempt to eliminate the constitutional right to ownership of Firearms. It would require that all gun owners be licensed. It requires a thumb print, a universal background check, a Passport quality photo. But wait, there’s more: “any firearm owned by the applicant safely stored and out of the possession of persons who have not attained 18 years of age”, in other words, a gun safe.

This can NOT be allowed.
60 something House Dems are opposed to gun control, so it would take a fair amount of Republicans to pass this.
If this Congress passes this crap the turnover of Congressman in 2010 will set a new record.
So, if I say, “they can take my guns from my cold dead hands”, does that make me a domestic terrorist???
I am not willing to take that chance!
Oh yes, you are an extremist now!
Cool. Where do I buy my bumper sticker?????
Sigh. When the confiscations begin and they come knocking on my door I’ll be waiting. They’d better bring their high tech goodies as well because they’re gonna need them.
Folks, we aren’t going to honor or follow any of this type of legislation, should it get through. It’s really that simple. And when they come to ‘enforce’ these unconstitutional laws, we’ll respond in the proper manner, as our Founders would have wanted us to. Really very simple.
I say if they want my guns, “Molan Labe”, Come and get them.
We live in interesting times.
Don’t be so sure. Although gun control is the third rail, I am extremely disappointed in the voting public.
Your statement plus exhibiting a picture of a noose would guarantee your terrorist status.
Thanks for the post pointing out this bill. I’m going to join the NRA.
Right on! I’m not obeying anything this usurper administration passes as law. He is not valid!
Hah!
Isn’t that an old Chinese curse? “May you live in interesting times”?
Gun owners might not wait until 2010.
The libtards will never stop on gun control until we are pushed over the edge.
I like this site, you can make your own and they are cheap!
