Bobby Rush, a former member of an organization known for killing police officers, doesn't want honest people to own guns
We have written here frequently about the importance of the Second Amendment in the defense of the United States against militant "Muslims" and other terrorists. Although militant "Muslims" feel free to perpetrate rampant violence and gang rape in Europe, these practices are far less frequent here because of the widespread private ownership of firearms.
Representative Bobby Rush (D-IL), a former Black Panther and a convicted felon whose illegal possession of firearms lost him his own right to own firearms, has proposed a bill to require licensing of all handguns and semiautomatic firearms (H.R. 45). Although he managed to receive an honorable discharge from the Armed Forces, his service record includes an incident of Absent Without Leave (AWOL). Bobby Rush is therefore just another common criminal and jailbird who resents the fact that law-abiding people can own the means with which to protect themselves from terroristic violence.
Then again, given Bobby Rush's own ties with the Black Panthers, perhaps he is sympathetic to terrorists of all stripes, not just militant "Islamic" ones. As Bobby Rush's former associates said, "The Revolution has co-ome, it's time to pick up the gu-un. Off the pigs! [Kill the police officers!]" Meanwhile, "From the fall of 1967 through the end of 1969, nine police officers were killed and 56 were wounded in confrontations with the Panthers." The United States does not need advice from a convicted felon and an associate of cop-killers to tell it how to reduce violent crime.

One step on the trek to anarchy.
The question is, how many steps are required to complete the journey in completion?
Yes it does, doesn't it?
Lincoln had it both ways. States could not secede from the Union, but because Virgina was "in Rebellion", the Antislavery western portion could secede from it.
Bottom line, West Virginia is an illegitimate and unconstitutional state, with an unconstitutional delegation in Congress, especially it's Senior Senator.
Both...Why not...Makes sense to them...
When they pull this trigger, it’ll be a good thing that its a blank that pops off...
But that’s ok, it is a sure thing for our side to benefit if they do press this issue...
Even if it passes and is signed into law...Guess what...Nancy Pelosi is right dead on the money with this...
We can and will survive a new and improved Super-AWB and this HR45...
Just sit back and think about it for a little while...It’ll be ok...Trust me...;-)
He’s from Chicago. Crooks are the only kind of politician they have there.
Once a communist street thug, always a communist street thug. That’s the Chicago way. Just as Rahm Emanuel. He’s the man!

If you can vote, you can own and CARRY a gun. Same tests should apply.
You want convict Black Panthers for your elected representatives? You want a cursing slumlord for your Governor? Hmm.
If you cannot buy a gun because you are a convicted felon, you cannot write gun laws. Period. End of story.
WTF is wrong with this country?
