U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., is hoping to pass a firearm-licensing bill that will significantly rewrite gun-ownership laws in America.

Among the more controversial provisions of the bill are requirements that all handgun owners submit to the federal government a photo, thumb print and mental heath records. Further, the bill would order the attorney general to establish a database of every handgun sale, transfer and owner's address in America.

The bill claims its purpose is "to protect the pubic against the unreasonable risk of injury and death associated with the unrecorded sale or transfer of firearms to criminals and youth."

to protect the pubic against...

Rest assured that any initiative beginning with these words is looking to strip your rights away.

The bill claims its purpose is "to protect the pubic against the unreasonable risk of injury and death associated with the unrecorded sale or transfer of firearms to criminals and youth."

So it's OK to sell or transfer firearms to criminals as long as the transaction is recorded?

[Vaquero]

and a Dhimmicrat from Illinois, who’d a thunk it?

[DuncanWaring]

The bill claims its purpose is "to protect the pubic (sic) against the unreasonable risk of injury and death associated with the unrecorded sale or transfer of firearms to criminals and youth."

So he's got no problem with the recorded "sale or transfer of firearms to criminals and youth"?

That’s the deal, being a former black panther,

his constituency has no intention of following these laws.

This is a blatant attempt to “disarm whitey”.

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

This bill has no merit!

It is an attempt to ITENTIFY and CONTROL all handguns in the USA !

A very small later change in the bill will allow confiscation of the weapons from the citizens under the guise of emergency, etc.

JOIN THE N.R.A.!

Bobby “Everything White Is Racist” Rush??
you-gotta-be-kidding...

[Red in Blue PA]

Join the NRA and the GOA!

This needs to be fought tooth and nail.

[Mad Dawg]

Oh, and a registry worked so well in Canada, didn’t it?

Hey Bobby, how about making public all the records of all criminals with picture, thumb print, DNA and if any questionable Mental health records keep them in prison....
.Forever !

[From The Deer Stand]

...and, of course, the criminals will be in total compliance with this bill.

[Sybeck1]

But the Kenyan Svengali told me my guns were safe......

[MrB]

It makes perfect sense, in light of this picture:

a disarmed "middle class" will have no recourse when the thuggery and intimidation ("payback") starts.

[Red in Blue PA]

Big Brother’s new target: Tracking of all firearms of law-adibing citizens, leaving criminals untouched.

There, fixed the title.

Bobby Rush is a former Black Panther!!! Another example how the commie left is getting more and more control in the country.

[unixfox]

These people are just BEGGING for a fight.

“The Public” (as such) has a great deal more to fear from the former Black Panthers and other college radicals who now control large swaths of our government, educational and cultural institutions than it does from 80,000,000 law-abiding firearms owners.
