OBAMA REGIME ALREADY GOING FOR PRIVATELY OWNED FIREARMS!
GOVERNMENT TO TAKE GUNS AND STRIP GUN OWNERSHIP RIGHTS
Here they come, ready or not.
Feel the water getting warmer?
Are you ready for the House Bill titled 'HR 45, Blair Holt Licensing and Record Act of 2009'. It will make it illegal to own a firearm unless it is registered with the database in Washington D.C. As a gun owner you will have to be finger printed, you will be required to provide your DL#, SS#, you must maintain a valid address at all times,
submit to mental and physical health records being put on file, you will also be required to file any address changes and any ownership changes even if a private sale.
Each update will cost $25 and if you fail to comply you will lose your right to own firearms. This bill and its language mirror almost completely one defeated last year in the House of Representatives by soon to be Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Will we, the citizenry, be as lucky this time?
Pass this on to everyone who believes in The Constitution Of The United States Of America, and remember that laws only apply to those who obey them. Criminals, by definition and nature, do not abide by laws. New laws and restrictions only apply to the law-abiding citizen and are not written with the criminal in mind. With guns, it is not about having laws on the books to prosecute individuals, it is about taking guns away from the people, so that no one has them in the first place.
One last item to note: when assuming power and creating a facist state, Hitler was a proponent of strong gun laws, because a disarmed populace was much easier to control than an armed one.. The kings of old also outlawed weapons of any kind, in any region that they conquered, to quell the ability of the citizens to uprise against them.
The Founding Fathers of this nation understood all of the above, and because of this, they included the Second Amendment in the constitution. In fact, they knew that at some point in every society's life span, that the need for the population to arise would come about. To this end, they made the right to keep and bear arms against a tyrannical state an absolute right that could not be revoked. They did this because the first thing tyrants and despots do is to remove a population's right to defend themselves. When this is done, the tyrants have no problem with the destruction of society as we know it.
submit mental records .... Sorry Skarp that leaves you out....

PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES; NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN STAIRS...
