Title: Hugged your weapon lately?
Post by: JohnnyReb on February 04, 2009, 10:25:16 AM
It may soon be difficult to. #HR 45 ?

For all you bible tot'n gun huggers....uh....uh...uh....something like that.

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.

Here is a good link (below) to track the progression, or cessation, of this bill through the House:

Personally, I doubt the bill will become law.

I hope I am correct, but now that the DUmbasses are back in power, who knows.

If it does pass, I suspect that there be massive non-compliance.

That crap didn't work to well in Canada IIRC.

"I saw so-n-so with a gun"....."I know he used to have weapons" .... "I/we suspect him of having a gun."......will this be enough for a judge to issue a search warrant for your home? If so, then the constification of weapons will be easy. They'll do it one home, one town, one county, one state at a time. They'll be no mass revolt against it as there would be if it was done nationwide all at once..

They don't have enough manpower to do that. 80 MILLION gun owners in the US. There aren't enough cops, in total, to do all that. Once they DO start, word will get out quickly. What I see is that the Govt is making more and more crimes, Felonies. A felon can't legally own guns. It'll creeping incrementalism that will get the gun owners.

Ask anyone falsely accused of being a child molester. They could do it to them they can do it to anyone for any reason like your saying. To many legal gun owners have lost their rights over lies and allegations said by people with no more credibility then if the same words came from Bart Simson
