“Barack Obama went to Harvard and became an educated fool. Barack is a person who read about the civil-rights protests and thinks he knows all about it.” - Bobby Rush
This legislation is languishing in committee, and probably isn’t going anywhere soon.
That being said, “Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty.”
It’s for the children.
Zero or the rats bring this up will start a revolution
Wait... Hasn’t one started all ready?
... Hillary care and gun control wiped out the 'rats then. It appears that they haven't learned anything.....
...as Rush says, put a bag of excrement in front of a 'rat, and he will step in it every time.....
A “cute” bill, it forbids the transfer of any gun by inheritance or gift within a family.
I’m almost willing to dare them to bring it up for a vote. (almost!)
2010 will be 1994 all over again, in spades.
I have a few 45’s and if they try to enact this POS into law then I will be ready for them to confiscate them.
From Wiki:
In 1968 Rush went AWOL from the U.S. Army, co-founded the state’s Black Panther Party and later was honorably discharged. [1]
The following year he served six months in prison for illegal possession of firearms.[2]
Is everyone on this thread an NRA or another gun group member?
I had asked the Freepers to put the initials of their gun group in their tag line or profile page. It looks like it’s time to ask again.
This garbage of a bill has been around for a while. There are plenty of sites that spell out all the details of this little gem. It was written by Bobby Rush D-Illinois (go figure on that one). Essentially it makes law abiding citizens ask permission to own a firearm, even if they have had the firearm for many years. It is a real stinkerino, but it fits will this control freak administration. Good news is that as of now, no one else has signed on to this. It belongs to rep rush. Oh, and the honorable rep rush has a criminal record, something to do with the illegal possession of a firearm. Got to love the irony.
Done...
Yep, I re-joined (the NRA) last year, as a life member.
I've read a lot of your posts on the subject, so I won't get in to why I let my membership lapse after having been a member for many years, but I am back.

I didn’t read anything like that in th 2nd amendment
Glad to have you back. I upgraded to get that bowie knife and I thought it was going to be a wall hanging prop. I didn’t realize they were giving a really nice item.
If every gunowner would join, the libs wouldn’t dream of introducing gun control.
Thank you.
I'll most likely upgrade after my daughters get out of college, when I have more of my money back to spend the way I want to!

While it does seem to me that gun owners (and lots of other folks) are more politically aware and active now than at any time than I can remember, I am somewhat amazed at how many of them did NOT take advantage of the free membership offer! My wife and daughters all did.
As stated, this bill has been around for a while.
I think they are pretty much holding back on gun control for now. I think we will see the push for Health Care , and then Amnesty for Illegals before the 2010 elections.
After that, we will probably see a push for gun control, as a response to some mass shooting. Like at town hall or a polling place. Any form of registration will be required first as a prelude to confiscation in the future.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I think gun control is just on hold. They’ll unleash at the proper time after they have stolen our freedoms in other areas first.
