Legislation (H.R. 45 "Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act") sponsored by U.S. Representative Bobby Rush (D-Ill.), would mandate numerous gun control measures if passed.
The bill specifically calls for all handgun owners to submit to the federal government a formal application including: photo identification, fingerprints, medical and mental health records and a completed written firearm safety examine. Applicants would also be forced to pay a fee to the federal government.
The legislation also mandates that a database be established and kept by the attorney general of the United State so as to record every sale and transfer of a firearm.
Additionally, the bill would make it illegal for a licensed gun owner to fail to record a firearm loss or theft within 72 hours, or fail to report a change of address within 60 days. Further, if a minor obtains a firearm (even from stealing it) and injures someone with it, the owner of the firearm may face a multiple-year jail sentence.
Please consider contacting your congressman and urging him or her to oppose this dangerous bill.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation is vigorously opposing this legislation and is monitoring the bill closely. Please visit the NSSF Legislative Action Center for updates on HR 45 and other firearm related legislation.

A gun makes its own law.
So why worry? They can have my guns when they come to get them, but I can guarantee it will be an expensive re-claim. If such should happen, the second American Revolution will commence. Join the NRA or GunownersofAmerica and tune in to vairous firearm sites ie; therighttokeepandbearfirearms.com Be ready, be willing, stand together, stand strong and don’t back down.
Maybe showing a birth certificate will be required also. Then we need to get O to buy a handgun.....
They can kiss my a$$!
If H.R.45 passes and nobody complies, what can they do, honestly? Are they going to go after the entire country?
The scenario I envision is some kind of crisis, involving a firearm. And O issues an executive order banning that kind of firearm, which will be broadly describedas a semi auto “assult weapon”
And if that gun is traced to a gun show purchase, that will be the opportunity to include closure of gun shows while “policy is under review”.
Even if suit is filed the process will continue until the court resolves the issue.
But wait. it won’t happen immediately. Things will be delayed until a USSC justice retires and the “only” judge “qualified” for the job will be entered.
But in the mean time this blair holt heaping pile and similar measures will be attempted on sleepy Americans.

They’ll engage in State terror so that nobody is sure who’s gonna get hit next. ATF likes operating that way.
“You don't get it. We no longer have representation in Congress. The only we can get power now is in the streets.”
Your advocating riots? That will accomplish NOTHING. You will be seen as lawbreakers.. and play into the hands of the democrats.
Your expecting to have the Republican Representatives fight the whole battle for you. Pickup the phone.. write a letter (yeah.. Snail Mail), or Email.. Often.. Get the like minded to do the very same thing.. Politely.. but pointedly express your opposition to issues.
You get enough people to do that.. and even your democratic representatives might think twice about voting for party lines. Maybe not on everything.. but some issues..you might be surprised.
This Woe is me mentality is CRAZY. Its time to get into the trenches and FIGHT, but in a legal way.
Keep track of each “Republican” who votes for H.R. 45.. and then work to inform others that he did trade away the rights.
Look I am not saying that the battle is automatically won.. but staying on the sidelines and just crying that the democrats is screwing us over.. leaves a very very bitter bile in my mouth.
I'm pretty sure, at this point, that convicted felons/criminals will be treated better by this administration than will law-abiding conservatives.
If they manage to federally register all of us and our guns, their next step will be easier. To disarm us. If/when they do that, we might as well prepare some nice, heavy-duty knee pads, cause we're gonna need em.
Is it time yet, Claire...?
And we get to vote in a way that the other side doesn't believe we'll do.
Let's see what happens when they conduct a few raids on some prominent pro-gun folks - when it becomes clear that
WE ARE ALL BRANCH DAVIDIANS.
True. But consider that this particular bill is SO onerous, and will draw even more attention than it has already...
...on purpose...
because it is a Trojan Horse, inside of which is AWB II.
THAT, folks, is the killer - this one takes away nothing, but it is only handguns. They are after the rifles, and step one is to limit or choke off supply of the ones that have been most useful in anti-government operations around the world.
Fight on everything, hard - let your rep, no matter how pro- or anti-gun, know that you are unalterably opposed to this garbage. They all have to run in 2 years, and you should remind them ALL about 1994. Senators, too - remind them that Algore lost because he lost his home state, W. Virginia and Arkansas - all pro-gun but otherwise friendly states to him - due to his stance on gun registration.
We not only get to vote in 2010, but one last time, whenever we choose. I dearly don't want to see that happen, but neither did the Founders. We got 200+ years of good from that particular election, hard fought though it was.
Well, I would think that would constitute an all out war against the American Citizens by the ATF which will result (i hope) in a mass revolt.
