H.R. 45: Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Acto of 2009 is a direct attack on the 2nd Ammendment. Here is the link if you want to read the bill. A summary: this bill would require all gun owners to obtain a firearm license and report on their yearly income tax returns how many guns they own along with date of birth, place of birth, aliases, a passport size photo and fingerprinting. Failure to do so will result in 5-10 years in prison or fine or both. There has also been talk of a $25 dollar tax per gun. As it stands, the bill won’t become “public knowledge” until 30 days after it has passed, but I am here to stop this. Why has our government decided to take it upon themselves to vote on specific topics and push them under the radar without regard to the opinions of those who voted them in. I thought this was supposed to be a government for the people…by the people. Congress and the big man have decided to run a type of government similar to the popular clothing line, FUBU (For Us By Us).
The majority of bills never make it out of committee; however, we need to stop it before it does.
Here is a great story on this very same issue. It has already been happening in England for 80 years.
