They will never give up.
If passed, some will never obey.
There’s no link.
This has been floating around since zero took office, maybe even before. It doesn’t have ANY cosponsors.
I ain’t listing “jack” on my return, but I may invite the authors to come over for an inspection.
I searched for it and do you think for one minute this congress would’nt take a stab at getting it through as an attachment to “like” another bill?

Still no activity since 2/9/2009, still no co-sponsors.
Thanks. This needs to be watched, but it shows up here and in e-mail every week or so like “breaking news”.
When obama care is passed, the government plans on taxing them until you can’t afford to keep them.
It’s been sitting on the shelf gathering dust since it was introduced at the beginning of the year. It’s dead Jim.

Same sick hippie crowd ... I believe Bobby Rush is in this one, remember him. He’s a felon so he can’t carry a gun anyway. This one just keeps coming up over and over like a weed in the garden.
They will stick this, with a comprehensive assault weapons ban and ammo taxes, on as an amendment to some other benign must pass bill, such as a defense appropriation.
Here is, in detail, what they are going to do.
Obama, Pelosi, and Reid will seek these 4 elements in a gun bill
1. An expanded HR 45, gun owner licensing. All gun owners will have to have these licenses, even owners of facilimie weapons (AKA Airsoft and BB). Licenses will only be granted if the records of the applicant are clean (This includes misdemeanors from decades ago). Licenses will have high renewal fees ($100-300/yr). Licensees will be required to hold $1 million in liability insurance. Possession of otherwise permitted weapons (See #3) without license is a felony.
2. Ammunition accountability... All ammo will be required to be microstamped and will be taxed $1/round. All non stamped ammo will be required to be turned in or thrown away. Possession of non-marked ammo is a felony. This part of the act also bans “Cop Killer” bullets. Furthermore, this will require the gun to leave a microstamp of its own on the ammo. (BTW, this will also affect law enforcement and military ammunition stocks, as they will be required to have stamps of their own)
3. Expanded “Assault Weapons” ban— This includes most all semiauto rifles, anything that can be “Bump Fired”, Semiauto handguns, and Semi-auto shotguns. It also includes pump-action shotguns and “Sniper Rifles” AKA your deer rifle. The AWB will also require people with “Prebans” to register their guns as Machine Guns, and that the tax stamp will go up to $10,000 per weapon. If you can’t afford this, you have to turn the weapon in without compensation...
4. Expansion of the Lautenberg amendment: Removes “Domestic Violence” as disqualifier to gun ownership, inserts any misdemeanor as disqualifer... Anyone with a misdemeanor on their record will be prohibited from owning a firearm. This includes DUI and traffic offenses, and offenses decades ago.
Finally, all CCW permits will be voided. Also, all gun and ammo imports will be banned.
This is long dead and has been discussed many times on FR.
Maybe these folks ain’t got enough REAL $hite to worry about and have to keep dragging up this old crap.
No kidding. Waste of time.
