> 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 strict Constitutionalism 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 came 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.
>
> Protect your Second Amendment rights!
>
> The following is a summary of the bill as provided by the Congressional
> Research Service. If you read the whole bill, you'll find it will
> effectively preclude the ownership of ANY firearms by law-abiding people
> unless licensed by the Attorney General. How long do you think THAT would
> take?
>
> Congressional Research Service Summary The following summary was written
by
> the Congressional Research Service, a well-respected nonpartisan arm of
the
> Library of Congress. GovTrack did not write and has no control over these
> summaries. 1/6/2009--Introduced. Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and
Record
> of Sale Act of 2009 - Amends the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act to
> prohibit a person from possessing a firearm unless that person has been
> issued a firearm license under this Act or a state system certified under
> this Act and such license has not been invalidated or revoked. Prescribes
> license application, issuance, and renewal requirements. Prohibits
> transferring or receiving a qualifying firearm unless the recipient
presents
> a valid firearms license, the license is verified, and the dealer records
a
> tracking authorization number. Prescribes firearms transfer reporting and
> record keeping requirements. Directs the Attorney General to establish
and
> maintain a federal record of sale system.
>
> Prohibits:
>
> (1) transferring a firearm to any person other than a
licensee,
> unless the transfer is processed through a licensed dealer in accordance
> with national instant criminal background check system requirements, with
> exceptions;
>
> (2) a licensed manufacturer or dealer from failing to comply
> with reporting and record keeping requirements of this Act;
>
> (3) failing to report the loss or theft of the firearm to the
> Attorney General within 72 hours;
>
> (4) failing to report to the Attorney General an address
change
> within 60 days; or,
>
> (5) keeping a loaded firearm, or an unloaded firearm and
> ammunition for the firearm, knowingly or recklessly disregarding the risk
> that a child is capable of gaining access, if a child uses the firearm and
> causes death or serious bodily injury.
>
>
>
> Prescribes criminal penalties for violations of firearms
> provisions covered by this Act.
>
> Directs the Attorney General to:
>
> (1) establish and maintain a firearm injury information
> clearinghouse;
>
> (2) conduct continuing studies and investigations of
> firearm-related deaths and injuries; and
>
> (3) collect and maintain current production and sales figures
> of each licensed manufacturer. Authorizes the Attorney General to certify
> state firearm licensing or record of sale systems.
>
>
>
> Please be advised and pass this along: House Bill HR 45,
'Blair
> Holt Licensing and Record Act of 2009' will, in my opinion, be the first
of
> 2 or 3 steps toward confiscation of privately owned firearms.
>
> You can follow the sequence as it already happened in Canada
> and the UK. First the government needs to register the guns so they will
> know where to find them.
