I am afraid you are right...thanfully, if my range here in Ft. Worth is any indication, it may be a while before they get rid of us.
That's how you do it. Do you really think they will take a big fat red marker and just cross out the second amendment?
-You create bureaucratic hurdles for those making, selling, buying, owning the firearms.
-You create cost prohibitive barriers for those making, selling, buying owning the firearms.
That's what it's about. The real underlying idea is that some in government think you should not have a right to bear arms and the idea is that with a thousand small little paper cuts and fees you the average Joe won't have that “Right” anymore, except on paper. The Constitution is being shat upon (In the spirit of what it means) by these folk who then use the force of law once they push their agenda through.
What is it the Swiss told the German Nazi's when the Krauts told the Swiss they had an army twice the population of Switzerland. It went something like then we'll have to shoot twice. That was the end of the Nazi's designs on Switzerland.
......or those who obey the law.
Representative Kenneth Dunkin (D)5th District
This is a Chicago District. I bet Dunkin's constituents who want them have guns and I bet they are and will continue to be unregistered and uninsured. This is just like US Rep. Bobby Rush(Also from Chicago) and his HR45 gun grab.
They do but it’s almost impossible to win a judgment against them if your a public figure and they get to make you a public figure.
They do pay for negligent acts but it’s against the rules to pay for intentional acts. It creates a moral hazard. Standard exclusion.
I won’t post what time I think it is, if that passes Constitutional muster.
Its one and only sponsor. This is another one of those bills destined to evaporate in commitee. Chicago reps seem to dream this bullshit up to demonstrate their bona fides to the City establishment. Rush's bill also has never had a chance, never will. The only place they have any kind of life is here on FR, where they're re-posted on schedule. It's obama and the justice dept. we had better beware of right now, not red herrings like these "bills".
If passed in Illinois, every state will follow suit.
NOT IN TEXAS...
It also won’t work in Indiana.
FOID’s are not required in New Hampshire nor in most states. We have a slightly different spin on the 2nd Amendment here: we see it as insurance against tyranny.
Its one and only sponsor. Rush’s bill also is a one sponsor bill. I agree there is little chance, but I do not agree raising hell about these bills is unimportant. Politicians are sensitive to hot button issues and they only know if they are told.

Agreed. Texas is pretty level-headed about gun rights.
They want to do this on a federal level by attaching this to HR 45, then attaching HR 45 to a Federal Gun control bill with an AWB/Semi auto weapon ban and ammunition stamping/registration
