| Firearms Legislation In The 111th Congress |
|
Gun Owners of America analysis of current House Bills:
H.R. 45: This bill would require a license for handguns and semiautomatics, including those currently possessed. The applicant must be thumbprinted and sign a certification that, effectively, the firearm will not be kept in a place where it would be available for the defense of the gun owner's family. The applicant must also make available ALL of his psychiatric records, pass an exam, and pay a fee of up to $25. The license may be renewed after five years and may be revoked. Private sales would be outlawed, and reports to the attorney general of all transactions would be required, even when, as the bill allows, the AG determines that a state licensing system is sufficiently draconian to substitute for the federal license. With virtually no exceptions, ALL firearms transactions (involving semiautos, handguns, long guns, etc.) would be subject to a Brady check. In addition, the bill would make it unlawful in nearly all cases to keep any loaded firearm for self-defense. A variety of "crimes by omission" (such as failure to report certain things) would be created. Criminal penalties of up to ten years and almost unlimited regulatory and inspection authority would be established. |

Ban Bobbie Rush
| Posted On: 02/07/09 09:50:44 AM |
Age 47, AZ |
This bill is sponsored by Rep. Bobbie Rush (D) Illinois. Rush is, as many of you know, a former Black Panther (read TERRORIST).
I submit that one of OUR legislators sponsor a bill that prohibits former terrorists from sponsoring legislation that impedes American citizens rights to defend themselves against the likes of Rush! It is immoral to deny a person the right to protect themselves or family! FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS! I will not submit!

The Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill or rights.

Whatever happened to the 10th

When the government first attempted the insta check program a small town Sheriff in Montana challenged the constitutionality of the law on the basis of states rights.
This action should be looked up to see how this guy stuck his finger in the nose of the DC Ban boys and WON.
The 10th amendment my be our only hope but we need governors, and representatives that will launch the effort and actually DO what they were elected for. Part of which includes protecting us from an overzealous federal government.

GUN CONTROL DOES NOT WORK
| Posted On: 02/04/09 04:29:40 PM |
Age 65, OH |
You say what we are doing is not working! But what is this nation doing. It is enacting more and more gun control and liberal thinking. What is the result, it is as you say more and more crime. So you like an insane person, say we should enact even more gun control. This nation did not have these problems when we followed the constitution of our forefathers. Now that we are abandoning the constitution we are having more and more problems. It is obvious to the sane that we need to go back to the constitution and conservative values. It is insane to say we should do even more of what we have already done to bring our nation to this state. Switzerland has the most assault rifles per person of any developed nation and the least amount of crime. Every able body man has to learn how to use a Steyr AUG which is illegal in this nation. People do not try to kill and rob in that nation because everyone knows that every house has a person with a Steyr AUG that knows how to use it. This is why no nation has attacked Switzerland, for they all know that every person in the whole nation has this rifle and knows how to use it. Switzerland is small but their army is large.

Let all Patriots and lovers of freedom secure for ourselves a fine carbine and at least 1,000 rounds of amunition.

Just a Reminder...

Age 43, TX |
I'm as against this bill as much as everybody else. I just want to remind everyone that if you defend yourself legally out on the street (with a concealed carry permit, no less), it will still cost you between $25,000 and $100,000 to be found innocent under current self-defense laws. Competent attorneys, expert witnesses, pyschologists for both the dead crook and yourself, re-enactment reconstruction experts, etc., etc., will all be needed to prove that you are actually innocent in the long run. It is much cheaper to defend yourself at home, where you will have a 99% chance of being no-billed by your local indicting grand jury. As far as the lunatic fringe not understanding "Thou shalt not kill," that has always been about murder. But then, you sound like a scoffer, anyway... <><

What Hitler quoted in 1935
| Posted On: 02/03/09 11:51:58 PM |
Age 48, MO |
In 1935 Hitler quoted, "THIS YEAR WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY. FOR THE FIRST TIME A CIVILIZED NATION HAS FULL GUN REGISTRATION!
OUR STREETS WILL BE SAFER, OUR POLICE MORE EFFICIENT, AND THE WORLD WILL FOLLOW OUR LEAD INTO THE FUTURE....
This now hangs on my wall after visiting Yad Vashem in Israel, and my husband and I agree with the Jewish motto, "Never Again".
Learn from History.

Crazy about guns or God?

I think they have to have some kind of gun control because it certainly isn't working as is! Your article is chock full of inacuracies, no suprise!
This is the actual bill:
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h45/text
I suggest anyone interested in the truth actually read the bill.
I just don't get why people so divoted to the laws of God, like "Thou shall not kill," are so ignorant to the reality of the situation. God have mercy on your souls.

revolution

Age 39, OK |
As soon as they try to take our guns, that's when the revolution begins. I don't know who said it, but "When injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. I am a born again christian, clinging to my God and my guns! They will get my bullets first. Amen to what "not this christian" said.
