Flashback to 1969: Bobby Rush Kept Handgun and Communist Literature in Apartment
YouTube ^ | December 5, 1969 | NBC

Posted on 03/08/2009 5:39:19 PM PDT by retrogo

On December 5, 1969 police raided the apartment of Black Panther leader Bobby Rush. They found a handgun, ammunition for various weapons, marijuana, an IED explosives manual, and communist literature including Che Guevara and Mao Tse-Tung. Bobby Rush served six months in prison for illegal possession of firearms.

On January 6, 2009 Congressman Bobby Rush (Democrat, Illinois) introduced H.R.45, the Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009. This bill, if signed into law would require all owners of hand guns and semiautomatic firearms to register for a federal firearms license. All sales of the subject firearms would have to go through a licensed dealer. The bill would also make it a criminal act not to register as an owner of a firearm.

The YouTube video contains three news clips from 1969.

Register them?. If you have to ask why, then think of this. It is about control. They are going after the first ammendment and the second. Why? If they gut the first two, then the rest are moot. This is all about making the dims dictators. However, they do not understand that there are LOTS of folks out here who have no intention of living under a dictatorship, but rather the Constitution they were born under. Me included. Semper Fi Yall.

Rush: "Guns are okay for me, but not for you."

(Bobby Rush, that is.)
