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.
No problem, it was just confusing, because anyone can COPY an old post and repost it to make a point. I do believe the mail I received is because someone is trying to bring this bill back to forefront for discussion. It may be in different format. I don’t think it will fly.
My comments in 2007 had to do with the coming election in 2008, and the democrats possible winning, and maybe trying to get ‘gun control’. I believe what happened in Wash, DC caused them to back down, as it became clear residents could protect themselves.
If that had not happened, and went to court, then I believe they would have tried to ram control down our throats like healthcare.
We cannot rest easy, because there are reports of rampant voter fraud AGAIN, and some places are saying if you vote a STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN ticket, it registers DEMOCRAT, so be careful on TUESDAY. I voted early and took time to vote individually for each person. Then made sure right boxes were checked before final vote registered, on that last push.
