Okay someone has resurrected an old article I posted in 2009, why? HOWEVER, the FIRST COMMENT is mine and gives my position in case you cannot read:
To: G.Mason
Here is link to HR1022 from 2007 that another FR says now has 50 supporters....my idea is watch what they are doing carefully, to make sure NOTHING to do with restricting gun ownership regarding the 2nd Amendment slides under the radar. Changes could impact current owners with risks of arrest down the road, when the evils want to get ugly.

IT should have been self explanatory, with the first comment, and WHY is being asked about now, it’s 18 months later??
If I misunderstood you I apologize. I did contact the office of Bobby Rush to inquire as to why he, when he was a Black Panther, became recognized by the public for the first time when the Panther’s exercised their Second Amendment rights.
If you remember they showed up in uniform and carrying shotguns on the steps of some public building. They began following police patrol cars around Oakland, adding to their reputation as activists.
The woman I spoke to informed me that law enforcement supported Blair- Holt. I told her that law enforcement where I live definitely do not support Blair-Holt. She then asked whether I had ever had a loved one killed by a gun.
I told her that was irrelevant to what we were talking about. She hung up the phone. After that I did a search on the bill and discovered that Rush had proposed this in the past and was unable to get a single co-sponsor.
Again, if I misunderstood you I regret it. But I did not misunderstand all of the posts that obviously believed that this was a current threat to gun ownership. It is not.
