PING!!!
Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009.
This is as serious as the Automatic weapon ban and everyone needs to swamp congress with protest until this goes away. Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm - any rifle with a clip or 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.
This is how the Democrats will lose control of the House.

Just addressing that part.
It is unconstitutional. Fact is, most of it is. These kind of things can be done regarding driving and using a car on publicly funded highways because, as so many like to point out, driving is a privilege, not a right. Gun ownership is a constitutionally protected right.
It is that simple but, of course, once it is tested in the courts it will “appear” to be otherwise - at first.
Well, in reading through all this, it appears that the good news is that it has no cosponsors, just the sponsor alone. It’s still “sitting there” but no one is acting on it, at the present time. That could be a good sign... :-)
